+GoWazzu Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I have a Garmin Etrex Venture (the older green one) and a PC interface cable. I downloaded the GSAK program, and I want to send waypoints to my GPS from GSAK. I can't seem to get my PC to see the GPS, it says it cannot initialize the COM1 port. Not sure if I need to download drivers, but I can't seem to find any information on the Garmin website. I did put it in Garmin mode on the Interface menu. Any suggestions? Thanks.

+mpilchfamily Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 It allows your unit to communicate with the PC and lets you download caches directly from GC to your unit. You may need to double check the com port settings. Try changing it to com port 2. Quote Link to comment
