Need help(ETREX) - How To download a saved track

[RowdyJim]

I need to download a saved track from my Etrex legend but do not know how. I have Easy GPS and mapsource software. Can anyone advise me on how to do it? Thanks!!!!

Depending on what version mapsource software you have, there is an option on the "open from GPS" menu to download tracks. Click on the icon up top with the arrow pointing away from the GPS. In the dialog box that pops up, there will be a checkbox next to "tracks". Make sure its checked. Click "Open" at the bottom of the dialog box and it should transfer to your computer.

The have version 2.0 of mapsource which does not have the option in "open from GPS" that Volks ev71 discussed earlier. Anyone else have any suggestions. Thanks Volks for the suggestion.

Version 2.0 of MapSource is quite old. If you can, download/install the newest version 5.0. The download is free and available HERE.

Looking at the "change history" at the page I linked to above, I see the following (scroll all the way down):

 

"Changes made from version 2.03 to 3.00:

 

Added capability to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks to and from the GPS."

 

This means that version 2.0 of MapSource does NOT have the capability to transfer tracks, routes and waypoints to/from the GPS. I really think you need to get the latest version of MapSource.
