Driving to caches using nuvi67

[+Ed_S]

Here's a question I'm sure has come up in the past, but I can't locate any discussion on it. I was using a nuvi550 to navigate to caches when planning a day caching trip. (I use one of the eTrex handhelds for the actual caching) GSAK info goes to MapSource, I create the route, and send it all directly to the 550. The display on the 550 is starting to fail, so I picked up a new nuvi67LM. I've had to figure out BaseCamp and Express, as MapSource doesn't work with the 67. And GSAK doesn't appear to work with the 67. I could send waypoints directly to the 550 from GSAK. GSAK does not recognize the 67. So, here's what works for me: I do the pocket query and put it in GSAK. I export to MapSource. I can either save the waypoints or use them to create the route in MapSource, as if I were still using the 550. Then I open BaseCamp and import the file I saved from MapSource. If it's the route, the route loads from BaseCamp into the 67. If there are more than 29 waypoints, it automatically splits the route into however many 29-waypoint segments are needed. If I've saved just the waypoints, I can create the route in BaseCamp, and load it into the 67.

 

My question is, isn't there a more streamlined way to load a route into the 67? Or should I be glad I found a way to make it work at all?

You may need to change your nuvi 67 from MTP mode to mass storage mode in order for GSAK to access it directly. Just Google it and you will find the procedure to change from MTP to mass storage.

Many thanks - will try it!

Have you taken a look at the Nuvi_GPX_v2.gsk macro? This will let you export directly to your Nuvi from GSAK.
