lilbeardy Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I got an old etrex h, and i wanted to upload the traclog to my computer. How is this done, I have the serial cable. I am planning on using GPS Visualizer. The owners manual didn't cover this topic. Quote Link to comment

+Mineral2 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 get a USB device? That was a half-serious answer. I know there are others here that use the eTrex h and are successful with it, but it also seems that the antiquated serial interface is becoming less and less supported with each new OS upgrade. USB isn't going away anytime soon. Quote Link to comment

By "USB device," I mean a GPS that connects directly via standard USB cable, maybe even one with paperless geocaching. Quote Link to comment
