+greyhounder Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 My laptop is currently on the fritz and I want to geocache tomorrow. So I'm at the folks. Downloaded GSAK and got my pocket query, but it's not recognizing my GPS. I don't have anything with me other than my GPS and the USB cable (I brought along my Palm, but I actually already have the query on my Palm from a previous time, just don't have any waypoint in the GPS). What to do now? Any help in the next half hour or so would be really appreciated. I really don't want to hand-enter a bunch of coordinates if I don't have to.... Quote Link to comment

+Map Monkey Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 You have your GPSr set to "Garmin" for the interface mode? mm Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yes....I think I need the device driver, but when I downloaded it, I was still receiving a message that I could not find the GPS. Quote Link to comment

Did you download and install the Garmin USB drivers? 2. In GSAK, on the "Send Waypoints to GPS" dialog, you may need to click the "GPS Setup" button and then Set the "GPS Brand" to Garmin and then click the "GPS is USB" checkbox. Quote Link to comment

+greyhounder Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 The computer? Really old, but I think it's Windows XP. Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Okay, well I have to be going. Thanks for the help so far. I think it's just a losing cause. Quote Link to comment
