My bad, mapsource

Thanks for the ideas guys, but nothing worked, I'll call garmin tomorrow. I have a chip with mapquest, and everything works fine with that, almost seems like there is nothing programed on the chip???

Hey Hermit, thanks for the reply. I went to Map Setup- Information, but mine only shows: restore defaults restore all map defaulys show all show none hide basemap hide americas marine point Any ideas? Thanks...Jeff

Hi all, I have a garmin etrex venture cx, I dont use it a whole lot, so I may be doing something wrong or missing something. I just received Garmins bluechart for the Chesapeake US006R on microSD. I inserted the chip and it appears I am just getting the base map. Do I need to tell my gps to read from the microsd card or should it do it automaticly? Thanks for any help

I'm looking for Blue Charts for a Garmin Venture, they have the disk's for $109, which I though was a pretty good price. I'm looking for blue charts for the Cheaspeake Bay, are there any cheaper alternatives? Thanks...Jeff

Hi Candy, thenks for the reply, I have the etrex venture Cx, it does hold the sd card...Jeff

Is anyone selling a chip that covers the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland? If not, where is a good and cheap place to purchase? I have a garmin etrex, are there other options, can I purchase a used cd rom and upload it? Thanks

I just want to thank everyone that may have replied to one of my many newbie question's. Thanks to you, I'm now up and running with a paperless system. Now, if I can find the time to get out and find some cach's

Select GPS from the top menu, and from that pulldown select Send Waypoints. You know, once I opened my eye's, it was quite easy. Thanks all

Ok, I have my PQ in GSAK, I have the cable to connect to gpsr. Where do I go in gsak to download the waypoints?

I have a garmin venture cx.

I just figured out how to download my PQ to my palm, now I'd like to add the waypoint to my GPSr. Can this be done without manually entering them?

So you can load your PQ into your gpsr? I was under the assumption that your loaded them into your palm from gsak and them manually entered them into the gpsr. I also have a garmin, how do you load them?

Ahh, there it is, thanks

How do you get to the PQ page from the home page?

I just received the same unit from walmart.com, it was packaged the same way ( lose strap and clip adapter)

Bingo, I was playing with it, and I did hit " reset to factory defaults". Ididnt think it would clear all the waypoints Well, I wont do that again. Thanks..Jeff

I have a garmin venture cx, I had about 10 waypoints in it as of Sunday when I was out caching. Today I turn on the unit and there are no waypoints. Did I delete them all, somehow?

Thanks guys, might have to wait till I get home.

I just got a palm z22, which I linked to my computer, I spent my $8 for the cachmate program and received my reg. code. When I try to install cachmate to my palm , in the "Confirm add Window" I add cachmate-4.1.2.zip, but it says "contains no compatible files. Do I need to unzip cachmate on my computer first, then install to palm? If so, what program do I use to unzip. Sorry, before I got into geocaching the only thing I used the computer for was ebay and dig. pics. Thanks...Jeff

Thanks, dont know how I missed it.

I just loaded gsak, its asked if I wanted to load some test waypoints, so I did. How do I clear the screen?

Dont quote me on this. You should be able to download updates from garmin for your software package. I just had the same problem with Mapsource. My version was'ent giving me the detail, so I called Garmin, they had an updated version I need to download ( for free) to get my software to work. Of course I could be wrong, as I am still wet behind the ears with the GPS...Jeff

What your home pc's operating system? I'm running xp

I installed the drives, but I get " USBdrivers_21.exe is not a valid Win32 application" when I hit run. What do I need to do? Jeff
