+Cleenjeep & Danger Girl Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 I downloaded some waypoints direct from the geocaching website, and attempted to upload them to my Garmin GPS 12. Only four of the 8 were accepted. It keeps telling me that invalid waypoints were received. Can someone tell me what is wrong with the rest? I didnt edit them at all at first, then I started removing things like names, descriptions, or just abbreviating them, thinking that maybe they were too big. That didnt help at all. Still only got four. I am using Version 1.0.5 EasyGPS for Groundspeak, with a garmin GPS 12. Yes, the wires are hooked up correctly! Thanks in advance... Michael Quote Link to comment
+VentureForth Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 ...but I couldn't find the link to the beta version of the software. Email their customer support (go to www.easygps.com). They replied very quickly and helped me with my problems. Go! And don't be afraid to get a little wet! Quote Link to comment

+inceptor Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Maybe this is a dumb question but I happen to be good at these. I have a Garmin e-trex. Although I have not obtained the pc cord yet, I am trying to figure out what i'm doing so when I buy the cable (next week that is) I will be prepared. I just downloaded easygps. When I download a cache, will it automatically go to the easygps file for downloading or must I transfer the files? inceptor the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys Quote Link to comment

Michael Try http://www.easygps.com/EasyGPS.exe (version 1.1.6). This should remove any characters that your GPS can't handle. If not, contact me at EasyGPS support directly. -- Dan Foster TopoGrafix: GPS Software, Waypoints, and Maps http://www.topografix.com/ Quote Link to comment
