transferring data

Recommended Posts

I just got my second Legend C in the mail today. Both will be used for geocaching. I have entered about 40 coordinates into the first one and was wandering if there is anyway that I can send those coordinates to the new one somehow without having to hand enter those coords again?

 

I know uploads can be done through the premium membership as I understand it but I am not a member.

 

Thanks.

If they are in your first GPSr as waypoints, try transfering them to mapsource on your PC. Then upload the waypoints from the PC to the second GPSr.

Yep, this is the way to go. If you haven't bought any maps and don't have MapSource, the Legend C should have come with Trip and Waypoint Manager and a pc interface cable, which will do the same thing.

From the department of "stupid GPSBabel tricks", I'll offer that GPSBabel actually supports > 1 unit.

 

gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb:-1

 

will return a list telling you (by serial number) which is usb:0 and which is usb:1 You can then copy waypoints from unit 1 to unit 0 with:

 

gpsbabel -i garmin -f usb:1 -o garmin -f usb:0
