fraggle69 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 what GPS are you using and is it a usb connection? I suspect it's a garmin rs232 connection, make sure you don't have any programmes already using the rs232 port, close 'em down. Power cycle the gpsr and if all else fails restart your PC!!

+THE MCHENRYS Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Thank you for the reply, i have the etrax venture cx, the error message is now saying there is no usb connection, even though i can here the pc beeping when my gps is connected, i really dont understand computers so i will have to get my husband to have a look. I cant see any other programs running using the usb. But we have been having problems with our pc. Also dont understand "Power cycle the gpsr" If i cant get it working i will use the old fashion method - paper and pen!! trying to get ready for the easter break - four days of caching thank you lisa Quote Link to comment
+Fuchsiamagic Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Also dont understand "Power cycle the gpsr" If in doubt - switch everything off, then back on again. That usually fixes most problems! Quote Link to comment
