Title: Garmin 72 and GPSNavX tracks/waypoint transfer problems
#1
Hi

I have bought a Garmin 72 GPS and would like to use it with GPSNavX.
It should replace my old but great Garmin 12, because the 72 is faster and onyl uses 2 batteries instead of 4, plus the marine package includes a cigarette lighter adapter plus a holder

Getting positions from the GPS (72) and navigating with GPSNavX is no problem.
But if I want to transfer tracks/waypoints my GPS shows a wiring problem?

I used to have a serial USB cable (PC type) which works great with a serial driver I found on internet.

The GPSNavX help states for transfering data from/to a GPS one needs a keyspan usb serial adapter which I got this week.

Transfering data from/to my Garmin 12 with keyspan cable works flawlessly, but there's no transfer to my Garmin 72.

I've found this settings on the garmin homepage
http://www.garmin.com/support/faqs/faq.jsp?faq=27

Now I'm confused to what settings I should use with GPSNavX?

Perhaps useful infos:
the data cable (garmin to serial) I use is the same on both Garmin GPS.
It was originally a data cable for the Garmin 12, but accessing NMEA data works with the Garmin 72 too.

Any hints?

Thx a lot in advance

Regards,

Manou
