+--- Thread: GPSNavX Route Transfer Crashing Program (/thread-2789.html)
- Brilliant425 - November 4, 2014
After upgrading to Yosemite my GPSNavX 6.04 would no longer run on my MacBook Pro. I was forced to repurchase GPSNavX since the older version could only be updated via the App Store.
Now I'm finding 6.07 has a few problems.
1) When changing the position of waypoints along a route the movement of the cursor is very slow, jerky and hard to control.
2) Attempts to transfer routes to my Garmin 76 and Garmin GPS152 result in the program crashing every time. The program starts the transfer, recognizes the devices, then as the keyspan indicates data is being transferred the program crashes.
3) While underway with my AIS GPS used as input for position and AIS via a Keyspan serial adapter, the computer randomly crashes (kernel panic) and has to be restarted.
I finally figured out a work around for my routes. I found I could transfer my routes via GPX format to the desktop, then upload the routes to OpenCPN. Transfer them in Garmin format to both my Garmin 76 and 152 without a problem with OpenCPN.
Am I the only one experiencing this problem? Looks like I'll be using OpenCPN until these bugs are fixed.

Getting same issue with Keyspan and Yosemite. Causes MacEnc and OpenCPAN to fail. May be Keyspan driver but this claims compatibility with 10.10 and worked with previous releases

In the meantime try using the free app LoadMyTracks. It works with the Garmin USB cable. MacENC can import/export both GPX and KML files..
