Oregon and Nroute

[+richsnake]

I am wondering if anyone connected their Oregon to work with Nroute. I can't seem to get mind to work.

My 60cx connects great to Nroute but not the Oregon.

I have Spanner installed and the Oregon connects to my Touratech software, but Nroute is far better.

Any help, advice or comments would be great.

Just tried mine and it works fine.

Is your Oregon connected to Nroute using the Oregon's spanner mode?

I just found out that using garmin's spanner software does not work on Nroute. Just using the Oregon with Nroute works just find.

I have the interface set to Garmin Spanner. When I plug it in, I am given the option of going into Mass Storage mode or not. If I say NO, then it stays in GPS mode and I connect to nRoute with no problem.

Thats right, i too have the interface set to Spanner but it still would not work. I was using Garmin's Spanner

software for other applications and thought it was necessary to use it for Nroute...not so. I found out that just

setting the interface to Spanner works for Nroute.

It is a little confusing. Putting the Oregon in Spanner mode allows it talk PVT over USB. Garmin's applications like nRoute can all talk PVT. However if you are using a 3rd party application which doesn't have support for PVT you can run the Spanner program on your PC which converts PVT to NMEA, a commonly supported standard.
