+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hello, I used GSAK since I began to search caches. After a little break I wanted to put a PQ on my Garmin Legend HCX via USB. When I try to send the waypoints to my GPS the program quits with a "Invalid option -N". The option -N was removed in an earlier version of GPSBabel. But when I look at the gpsbabel.bat the option -N is set everytime. How can I change this behaviour? Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Where did you find gpsbabel.bat? I'm a long time GSAK user but don't have that file anywhere. Did you create it yourself? You can try to rename the batch file and see what happens. Quote Link to comment
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 It is in the \AppData\Roaming\gsak folder. The batch: "C:\PROGRA~2\gsak\gpsbabel.exe" -N -D9 -i xcsv,style="C:\PROGRA~2\gsak\GSAK.STL" -f "C:\Users\eisi\AppData\Roaming\gsak\babel.txt" -vs -o garmin -F usb: Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Nope, no gpsbabel.bat anywhere. Started my laptop and did a search on all disks... no gpsbabel.bat Quote Link to comment
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Please have a look at: GSAK->Tools->Options. In the field Application Data is the path where the batch can be found. The RoamingPath is hidden in Windows normaly, but I think if you copy and paste your path directly into the explorer path line, you can search this path and you will find the batch.

+on4bam Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I can see all folders and file extensions. It's one of the first things I change after installing windows. There is a babel.bat but it only contains 1 line: echo testing I'm 99.99999% sure I have no gpsbabel.bat anywhere BTW, have you tried the GSAK forums? I only found items with gpsbabel.bat in 2012/2013 posts. Quote Link to comment

If I were you @eisi_rs I would temporarily rename that file to something like gpsbabel-suspect.bat and see if GSAK then works OK, you can always rename it back if necessary. Alternatively make sure you have the latest version of GSAK (Tools/Check for newer version of GSAK) Edited January 3, 2021 by MartyBartfast Quote Link to comment
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think that the batch is ony used for some old GPS like mine. The problem occured after an update of Windows10 Everytime i tried to send my GPX to my Legend i bacame the following message: Unanble to init USB This problem was not new, but I had to update my Gpsbabel to the newest version. After this, the problem with the -N occured. If I try to send the GPX manually to the GPS on a commandline, the caches appear on the GPS but without the right coordinates of the solved mysts. So I decided to solve the problem with the -N. Quote Link to comment
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 @MartyBartfast : This batch is written new everytime I send Waypoints to my GPS. I deleted it, but no change. I made it unwritable and a babel2.bat appeared. I made this unwriteable too and then GSAK crashed. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 You'll get better (and faster) answers for this on the GSAK forums. 1 Quote Link to comment
