+Breiti Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I can't connect my new Etrex Vista C with the EasyGPS software. I took the latest version of EasyGPS where this problem should be fixed, but it doesn't work. The hint to select GPSMAP60c instead (was a hint for the Legend C in the forum) doesn't work either. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
+Seay me Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Is there an option for a 60cs? The hit for the legend to a 60c seemed to work. maybe the vista is more closley related to the cs.. dunno. Quote Link to comment
+Haffy Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 You sure you have the correct com port selected? Quote Link to comment
+Breiti Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 I also tried 60cs and 76c and 76cs. No connection. And yes, I chose USB as the connection mode. Any other recommendations? Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 1. Make sure you've checked the "use USB" box (I'm betting you did that) 2. Garmin is a little finicky about exactly how you load USB drivers. The solution is somewhere near the bottom of that thread, I think. Quote Link to comment
+Breiti Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yeah, I ticked also USB. I have a connection to the GPSr via Mapsource. Therefore I would guess that I do not have a driver problem. Quote Link to comment
JaytheMan Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I have been reading up on my Vista C... It appears that only MapSource programs work with the Vista C. I am bummed, I have a couple other titles that dont work. Quote Link to comment

JaytheMan Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) Well... I have more time than money! This looks interesting! I have some work to do! Thanks for the 411! Update: I found the GPS TrakMaker to be very useful! Edited February 8, 2005 by JaytheMan Quote Link to comment
+Breiti Posted February 10, 2005 Author Share Posted February 10, 2005 My current solution is to convert loc-files via GSAK into mapsource and then download it. Better than nothing. Quote Link to comment
+4damFam Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I just got my eTrex Vista C today. I was also having a problem connecting to EasyGPS until I read this thread. I tried the Garmin GPSMAP 60C and it worked great!! I'm using EasyGPS v1.3.7 and I believe the firmware on my Vista C is a v2.00. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+timaford Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I also am using EasyGPS and with my Vista C and have had no problems with with it. I did have to choose the 60c since there wasn't an option for the Vista C. Quote Link to comment
