Great Dane Gang Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I've been Geocaching for about a year with my Etrex. Leaving for 2 weeks in the moutains this week, and plan on doing alot of hiking/caching. I bought a data cable from an auction site - GPS to Serial to USB. Everything seems to load fine, but when sending to GPS, i get this error "This Program Recieved Data it cannot Understand" "Click Help for further assistance" Well - I've gone thru the entire help page and could not find this error. Anybody have any ideas? I'm going to work with it until it works, but thought I'd use the experts here for some help. Thanks all! Quote
+IBcrashen Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Are you using the loc or gpx file straight from geocaching.com or are you combining them in another program first and then trying to open them in easygps? Quote
+El Diablo Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I'm assuming that you are downloading the files directly from the web page rather than using Pocket Queries. Make sure you choose to download them as GPX rather than LOC files. El Diablo Quote
Grasscatcher Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 If the above doesn't get you going try http://forums.topografix.com/ That's the Topografix forum and about halfway down the first page you will see Easy GPS. Quote
