+MotorBug Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi. Recently bought a Vista. Found my first two caches today and am hooked! But can't get EasyGPS to work (crashes my machine when I try to download to the GPS) so would like to know if there is a way to get the coordinates in the Vista, other than by panning the map, which is a drag. If you have any ideas on the EasyGPS problem, let me know. Win 98SE on a HP6880C which usually works fine on stuff. Thanks, Tom [This message was edited by tdmcfall on August 17, 2003 at 11:59 AM.] Quote Link to comment

Hold down the click-stik. This will create a new waypoint. Then just edit it to the coordinates you want. That's the usual way to enter waypoints. You might give the manual a read-through.

You may not have the correct Comm port selected? com1 com2 com3 or com4 are the usual choices. Im not aware of ether crashing a machine but would keep the transfer from working. The easyGPS author does read the fourms here, but if he misses it... contact him thru his site I found him to be verry helpful. More rules = Less fun! Quote Link to comment
+Waterfall Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 My vist works great with the software you listed.. like was said before you need to disable everyting on that port. Mark. Quote Link to comment
