Unit to Unit Transfers on Garmin?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Maybe I'm nuts but several months ago I thought I recalled a post about a special cable that allowed two GARMIN GPS units to be connected so you could exchange waypoints and routes.

 

I can't seem to find it now. Is this actually possible or was am I losing it?

You could also just upload them to EasyGPS or a similar Program then download them. I do it with NG TOPO! takes a few seconds longer but it works. of corse it only works when you have a pc available.

That's what I was looking for. I bought my Dad a GPS V for Father's day and I was looking for a way to transfer waypoints between units without a computer when I visit him.

 

One question -- how would you initiate a waypoint transfer via the units without a computer?

FWIW, you can also just upload waypoints to the Waypoint Exchange on http://www.lostoutdoors.com then download the list to another unit (another Garmin or Magellan).

 

I did it so we could email waypoints, but you could use it as a one shot transfer tool between makes and models as well.
