    COINTEST: Todies Wild Ride!

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I just received (bought) a Look Twice coin to put into this thread (is it a race?)

     

    But with so many posts, I can't find the one(s) that tell me the rules and what needs done. Can someone remind me or point me to the post number?

     

    Thanks!

    Garmin can't initiate com port

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    For some reason only the name of my post appeared.

     

    I've browsed extensively and found several people having the same issue but no posted solutions to this:

     

    I have a new Dell Inspiron 1525 running Vista, a Garmin ETrex camo, a Garmin ETrex H and a USB to Serial transfer cable. Running GSAK to download caches I get that error message "Garmin can't initiate com port x" and the download fails. Geocaching.com also will not download the individual caches from the cache pages.

     

    I have: Checked the system utilities - all USB ports will see the cable but not the GPSr

    I have run this utility GpsPortChecker and it identifies the Garmin on the correct port

    I have followed all the steps on this page http://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=...amp;#entry11653 except I can not find the setting UNcheck "GPSr is USB"?

    I have disabled Avast and Windows security

     

    Everything works fine on the desktop running XP and on an identical laptop w/ Vista, so the cable and GPSrs are ok. All other USB devices work with this laptop - camera, ipod etc.

    I do not use a palm device or anything else that syncs data

     

    I'm guessing I'm missing some setting on the laptop? I hope somebody can help with this since I mainly got the laptop to download caches while traveling and that seems to be the one thing I can't do.

     

    Many thanks, in advance.

    Do You have a driver for the Serial to USB cable? I had the same problem with XP and an etrex ledgend gps Garmin e-mailed me a driver and then my computer recognized my GPS.

    Do not answer the SAME question in two consecutive posts.

    A correct answer will win you a spot in a future drawing for a Special Look Twice Coin.

    Any edited post does not count.

    If you use filler posts to go between your answers, please include an interesting detail in each one(about one of the Todie's Wild Ride Coins)

    6. According to my GPS, what was the temperature when I was at the Cache site?

    7. How many other Trucks were parked at the pullout while I was there? ANSWERED!!!
