+azspecter Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I am figuring out that the Garmin 'X' series will NOT allow streaming of data when connected to the USB port. It will allow track/waypoint transfer when you request it, but it WILL NOT allow STREAMING data when connected to USB. Reading the other posts/problems, I am slowly confirming this. Probably is the same 'handshake' issue as with the GSAK and the X series. However, I am hearing rumblings that it WILL STREAM (well, supposed to anyways) in serial mode- but no one can confirm this yet. I haven't wanted to drop the $50 required for all the cables just to TEST to see if Garmin has their $#!7 together or not. Does anyone have any info on this, or can confirm my hunches either way? Do you know if Garmin is planning on fixing this soon? Thanks Quote Link to comment

See my post: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=121210 where I talked to Garmin Tech Support. They are promising a fix. We'll see. Quote Link to comment
+azspecter Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 huh. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I've tried 4-5 different setups that are SUPPOSED to work- and they all give me the feedback of not having ANY info stream out when connected via USB. Any indication as to how long it will take them to fix this? Are they pretty quick on things like this, or are we in for a long winter's nap here? SUPPOSIVELY you can connect via serial- but, I have to buy a serial/power cable combo, and an USB/Serial Adapter- well over another $50. I don't want to go through all that to find out it doesn't work, or, that they'll have a fix for it within the week. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+ATLnative Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The support guy promised me that a fix would be ready in 2 weeks , but I have no experience dealing with Garmin tech support. Especially with an issue that may involve software updates. Anybody else with comments? Quote Link to comment
+bhorocks Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 i'll confirm this as well.. can only transfer files no streaming with my csx Quote Link to comment
+azspecter Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Do ANY of you guys have a serial cable to test and see if you can stream via serial hookup? That would prevent me from buying more cables... Quote Link to comment
