I've connected my Macbook to the RC420 plotter (circa 2000) and successfully transfered waypoint data. I cannot seem to get the routes to transfer. The transfer starts and completes, but the route list is empty. I have renamed the waypoints and route names to 8 characters or less and have limited the routes to less than 50 waypoints. The documentation indicates the RTE messages are supported. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this configuration are appreciated.

When the GPS Type is other the selected route is sent in this NMEA data format:
