+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 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
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author 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
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author 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. Quote

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
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author 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
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author 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
+eisi_rs Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Okay, i will try on the GSAK forums. Quote
