Forkeye Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 When I plug my Etrex 30 into my computer when I am viewing Basecamp, a pop up window comes up and says communication error. An error occurred reading the following files Garmin/GPX/8.gpx What exactly does this mean and how do I fix it. After I close the pop up windows everything seems to work ok. Do I just need to reload all my maps or what? Thx Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 what version of Basecamp are you running? Quote Link to comment
Forkeye Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Version 4.2.5, I know there is a new version, but I never used to have this error. Guess I will upgrade basecamp and retry. Quote Link to comment
Forkeye Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 OK upgrade to Basecamp 4.3.2 and still the same problem. Quote Link to comment
Forkeye Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 No.... Someone must know how to spin doctor it. Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 What is in the contents of 8.gpx? Is it something you need? Is it something that's already saved in your basecamp library? Can you delete the file? It's likely that the gpx file is either corrupt or has some bad characters that Basecamp doesn't like. Quote Link to comment
Forkeye Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ok thx I will check that out and hopefully delete it I was going to reload everthing on the unit but just havent got the time today Quote Link to comment
