Error msg when dll mapsend to Sportrack Pro

[+FangFour]

Purchased a new Sportrac Pro at Costco which came bundled with Map Send Streets software. Installed the software on PC no prob. Went to "Options" then "GPS settings" and did comm test which detected my GPS on comm 1 no problem. Marked a section on the map and then attempted to dll to GPS but I keep getting " Cannot connect to GPS on COM 1" error msg. I made sure NMEA in GPS was off, GPS on and checked cable connection. Even reinstalled the software and same error. Easy GPS dll's to GPS on com 1 with no problems. Any one else out there with this issue?

 

Specs: Sportrac Pro v3.02

Win XP

[Cracker.]

Check the Baud rate on your GPS. try it at 4800 or 9600bps.

 

Also make sure you closeany otherprogramsthat migght be using a com port.

 

If that doesnt work, try rebooting the computer.

Well, plain streets was made well before the sportrak and even the meridian. It may be haveing problems reconizing the extra memory in the sportrak. What version is that? 1.1 is the latest version for plain streets (4.00 for streets and destinations)... but magellan does not have that on their site. If you have version 1.00 email me and I will try to send version 1.1 to see if that works.

the bundle comes with streets and dest 4.00.

 

it loaded, and worked fine on my setup.. loading maps, waypoints, and routes.

 

ran a test of neighborhood at high map detail, and it is ok. not the greatest of maps, but serves the purpose.

Phantom, thanks for the offer. I emailed Magellan support and should hear from them shortly. If they can get it to work I'll post the fix.

Well, I used another computer (with Win XP), installed the software and dll to GPS no problems. So the issue must be my com 1, although Easy GPS works fine on it. Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions. If Magellan has anything I'll pass it on.
