+C5John Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Just got a Garmin GPSMap60Csx into which I'm trying to load waypoints from GSAK from a pocket query I did. However, after clicking the "Send Waypoints" box in GSAK the "Loading Waypoints" message goes on forever without loading any. I checked the USB connection and it appears to be connected properly (and I checked the appropriate box in the GPS setup screen for the USB connection). Also when I disconnect the USB cable the loading stops with an error reading that the connection failed so I think the connection itself is ok and the problem lies with GSAK. Any ideas? I'd really like to find my first cache today. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment
+CiscoHiker Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Lots of threds on this but in short for now you will need to upload them from Gsak to Mapsource and then import them to your 60CSx from Mapsource. It only took me a few more seconds to do this.

+CiscoHiker Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 What I did in Gsak was to go to File ---> Export ---> Mapsource File. Then in Mapsource I could use that file and send waypoints to the GPS. Quote Link to comment

+C5John Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 I finally figured it out. I needed to specify a prefix to the MPS file name. Thanks for your quick replies! Quote Link to comment
+Puddlewalkers Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 GSAK works fine with a serial cable. I have been using it with my 60csx. Quote Link to comment
