Can not download tracks from gps unit to Pc using Trip and W

**Dino Y** · #1 12 Oct 2005

I have purchased MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager and I have Garmin gps map 76s.
But I can not get any information from the gps device to the computer. I have tried all the interface options that my gps units has and still no result. The gps unit is conected through com1 when I search for gps units to download to my computer my tracks It can not find the unit. If I go to the gps tab and set it for traking it detects the unit but not when it searches for units. ( when I press the arrow pointing up). What should i do to download to my computer my routes tracks and waypoints from my unit?

Now I dont Know if I did something wrong but it only detects the device when I am on line and then I can upload or download to pc or gps. When disconecting (I use Dial-up) it just does not detect anything. Is there something that I Should do to make the connection available in both on line and off line.

It sounds like the com port is being shared. Try changing to another port within the Waypoint Manager program. There should be about 4 of them. Good luck!
