Guest rgerman95 Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 I would appreciate help from anybody who's been using the DeLorme Topo USA 2.0 mapping program and a Garmin eTrex. I'm relatively new to this, so this may be something simple. I want to download routes from my eTrex Legend to my PC so that they can displayed on the PC display map. The program will download the Tracks perfectly. The waypoints are downloaded as giberish. And the routes won't download at all. I know I'm getting the proper connection and have adequate serial settings because the Tracks download, but I can't understand why the waypoints and routes are not downloading. Anybody have this problem? Is it the version of DeLorme that I have (2.0)? Is this program too old? Or not compatible with newer Garmin products like the eTrex? I'd appreciate any light you might be able to shed on this situation. Thanks. Rich Quote Link to comment
Guest SteveL Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 I had to download some patches to get my version to work with my Etrex Venture - and I am running version 6.0. The current version is either 8 or 9 - 2.0 might not be supported anymore. Check on their website to see if there are any updates for your version. SteveL Quote Link to comment
Guest mtbiker Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 I have the same setup and need to down load a patch to allow the Legend and Topo 2.0 to communicate with each other. Are you getting any error messages? Quote Link to comment
Guest TeamFamilyAffair Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Go to WWW.delorme.com and download the software patch and the problem will magically disappear. (I tried it and it now works fine) Here is the exact link for Topo USA version 2.0 http://www.delorme.com/support/multi/multi003.asp?D=60&Q=d&K=&P=11058&C= Happy Geocaching! -Scott of Team Family Affair Quote Link to comment
