+GOT GPS? Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I updated my 60C GPS yesterday and it performed really good, and was able to upload saved tracks to GPS 60C. What happened was I could not download a tracklog via USB due to persistant errors, but was able to download Routes, waypoints, and maps from 60C to Mapsource. I updated my USB drivers, but still had the problem of not getting a download of active tracklogs from the GPS. I cleared the memory a few times, but still something seems to be a problem with the active tracklogs. Im going to do a hike today, and see if the problem continues. Never did have any problems with the download of the same tracklogs via serial interface, but would fail under USB download. This problem is new for me with the latest 60C firmware update. Any of you had Tracklog download problems on USB? Quote Link to comment
+Thomas&Lisa Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I have just faced the same problem after updating my GPSMap 60C to version 3.7. I tried several times, and finally it worked. It seems to be a periodic fail Kind regards Thomas Quote Link to comment
+Mr-Hornet Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I had the same problem with my 60 B&W and ended up going to the device manager and deleting it and then reconnected it so it would reinstall the driver and now it works just as before. Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Today while autorouting, I noticed that the panning arrow would not work at all. It would appear, but I could not move the panning arrow at all. Only when I stopped autorouting, was I able to pan the map. Quote Link to comment
+Rubberhead Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I couldn't upload maps to my 60CS after upgrading to 3.7. I got the ole "you are trying to load 48.1 MB of maps but your GPS can only hold 56 MB. Try a smaller map set" message. I may be going back to 3.61 beta since I was loving it. PS. That is not the exact message but you get the drift. Quote Link to comment
GeoBobC Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I have the same problem with my 60C. After updating to 3.70, I get partially through a download of tracks from my GPS to Mapsource and the download freezes with a message "There was an error communicating with your device".

+GOT GPS? Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Im forced to use the serial cable, and it takes longer that way. Have not tried a map upload yet Quote Link to comment
+Mr-Hornet Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Guess I lucked out that reinstaling the driver worked. Quote Link to comment
GeoBobC Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I called Garmin Tech Support. They suggested the problem is track data, specifically the active track. They said the (3.70 and others) upgrade could corrupt the track data, which could cause these sorts of problems with communication between PC and GPS. Their solution: download data from the unit to Mapsource, clear it out/reset the unit, and upload back to the GPS. Hmmmm..... I could not get the symptoms to replicate but I'm not convinced the problem is solved. Quote Link to comment
+GOT GPS? Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 Ive done the clearing out and the new tracklogs are still a problem. Quote Link to comment
