+Team Fridhem Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 hej, I was just wondering if it's allready possible to download photo's with GSAK to the monterra. I have tried it bud no succes...maybe i did it wrong.! thanks Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just so you know... Pocket Queries do not include the gallery photo data. It will not load those photos. Presumably there is a work-around (at least for some units)... try reading further down in this forum, there are a couple of discussions about it. I do not know if they address the Monterra at all.

+Walts Hunting Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 That won't work. Since it is an android GSAK can't send caches to it. It does not hook up as a drive but a media device which is a whole different protocol than mass storage.none of the Macros work for it. There is a long discussion oner on the GSAK board but at this point it requires installing at least one additional program on it and special handling by Clyde which is still in the working on it phase. I was considering the monterra until I saw I would have to give up GSAK. Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 So, then, if the Monterra won't mount in mass-storage mode, how do you get PQ files on it at all? Even the old-fashioned way? Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 It does show up in windows explorer and you drag and drop or you use wifi to download directly. Quote Link to comment

Another method is to removed the sdcard that has the Garmin/GPX directory on it, plug it into the computer and then write to it and finally return it to the device. Either way the problem still is since it is an Android system GSAK and otehr programs can't write directly to it. Not Garmin's fault but it is something they should have considered before taking the path. You can also use the basic GPX export instead of the macro which allows you to choose any location on your hard drive and then drag/drop it in.

It would suprise me if you couldn't use Garmin's own BaseCamp software to accomplish this、does it not work? Edited January 5, 2014 by coggins Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 That's an interesting question buti would bet no since it doesn't Mount asaa drive. Hippie someone will test it. Quote Link to comment

If you are referring to my question, it is answered on the published product page "Plus, you can share large files like photos and data from field work through BaseCamp™ or by downloading it directly to your computer."

+drunix Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It works in media transfer mode, just like my Nexus phone and my Nexus tablet (both of which I find inadequate as GPS devices). The advantage over mass storage mode is that you can have the Monterra plugged in and it continues to work, it does not turn into a slow disk drive with a picture of a computer on its screen like my GPSmap 62. I have not tried the Monterra with Windows, just with a Mac and Linux. I submitted the patch to make it work with Linux, if you use Linux ask me about it or wait for an update. For transferring GPX files, I use Dropbox and Astro Filemanager (over WiFi). I save the GPX into Dropbox on my computer, then on the Monterra I use Astro to navigate to the file. When I try to open the GPX file in Astro it gives me choices, one of which is "Import GPX" and when I select that, Garmin grabs it. Other choices available depend on what you have installed ie "Locus", "c:geo" etc. The Monterra "quickstart" tells how to download caches from Opencaching.com, which is pretty useless. In Novemeber, I wrote to tech support to ask how to do it with GPX files. Still waiting for a response. I am sure they will get back to me any day now. The 62 is still a far better geocaching device, but that's not why I bought a Monterra. Quote Link to comment
+Outforawalk Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I make the gpx files in GSAK save it to my desk top plug in the Monterra open the files in it opem garmin then GPX files Remove the gpx file there insert mine all in all about 2 min and it works great Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I made my workflow even easier: created a BASH shell script that batch unzips all PQ files directly onto the GPS. Quote Link to comment
