+rutson Posted January 4, 2005 Posted January 4, 2005 Professional, maybe, Mr. Rutson? Not sure what you mean Kev found it eventually Quote
+Longfram Kev Posted January 4, 2005 Author Posted January 4, 2005 Have sent home phone number via last email to me. Kev Quote
+Longfram Kev Posted January 5, 2005 Author Posted January 5, 2005 MarkandLynn, rutsons just been and can't get it to work. I forgot to say its a USB cable... is that what you use ?? Kev Quote
+FamilyBean Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 Not sure if i can help but willing to try, I have similar setup with yellow etrex on a converter cable with driver to my laptop. Had trouble at first until i realised it was on com 8. Also found i had to start pc put usb plug in then connect etrex up or they wouldnt play nice. PM or mail me if you need any other details would be glad to try and help. Quote
+rutson Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Worked fine on my Xp lappy, but couldn't get the darn thing to play on the Win98SE desktop Quote
markandlynn Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Have you ticked the fix windows me / 98 freeze problem box? or posting your problem on the GSAK forum. Clyde usually answers within 1/2 a day (he lives in australia) Quote
+Longfram Kev Posted January 7, 2005 Author Posted January 7, 2005 Hopefully I've solved the problem. Sent the USB cable back and just bought a serial cable on Ebay. Next problem... I downloaded Easy GPS... Then got GSAK as this was suppodsed to be the "one" to use... tried to download waypoints from GC.com and they said " save / open in Easy GPS.. There must be away to download them into GSAK??? Problems Problems Problems Quote
+John Stead Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 If you are downloading the waypoints from the GC.com "My Cache Page", it invites you to save them in a folder of your choice as a .loc file. If you are a paid up Geocacher and use Pocket Queries your file will be a .gpx file. GSAK will open either type and you should be smiling. Quote
+McDeHack Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Whilst on this question. I had this broblem. sorted with etrex, Serial cable, serial to usb converter cable, Easygps would only show com 1 or com 3. (Device manager showed that the setup was on com 6) GSAK did the trick. Now whilst on this theme. Can I send GSAK waypoints to Memory map. If so how? Quote
Deego Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Now whilst on this theme. Can I send GSAK waypoints to Memory map. If so how? Run your filter to select what you want to send then:- Click file--->Export--->memory map (or use the toolbar to add the icon for MM) Bingo Quote
