Is there anyone out there who could help me set up my MAC to readily communicate with my Garmin eTrex Vista CX gps unit? I have vistied the Garmin site and downloaded the Garmin communicator plug in for Mac and still am unable to download cache waypoints/locations to my GPS. Any suggestions or tips would be great as I am new to this.

 

Thank you

I do not have a Mac or run Vista.

 

Some of the more dumb things to look for;

 

Is the unit turned on?

 

Is the port enabled?

 

Are you using a USB cable to connect with? Did you install the drivers for the cable? I did not know my cable came with a CD with drivers, sure did work a lot better afterward! LOL :D

 

You can ask garmin for help by phone. They have a great support staff that are more than willing to help you with your problems.
