Uploading Waypoints from 62st

[+VO2WW]

I have 300+ waypoints in my 62st but when I try to upload them I get a message, "No waypoints found on device"

Any idea why I get this and how do I fix it so I can upload my waypoints?

Upload them via what method and to what? Where does the error message come from? What program are you using incorrectly?

I hook the GPS up to my computer as I always did with other units, open Garmin Mapsource Maps, select the Receive from Device Icon and than I get the message mentioned above.

When you plug the 62 in, I assume you are using the USB cable that came with it? Does the 62 show up as an additional drive letter when you plug it in? The computer has to recognize it before mapsource can.

Better yet, download and use Garmin's Basecamp program. Mapsource is outdated and doesn't always work correctly with some of the newer units.

Basecamp is what you need to really take advantage of the 62's advanced features such as paperless geocaching and the truly mediocre Garmin Birdseye stuff (satellite imagery you can display on your 62).

 

I don't imagine much further dev work is going into mapsource, basecamp is the new one.

Use the »Open« command and select the waypoint gpx file from [unit]:/garmin/gpx.

I'm using version 3.00. I may try to go back to 2.80 and see if the problem disappears. Seems something has changed recently.
