com port issue
Trying to move waypoints etc bewteen my Garmin Etrex Legend and my pc via the supplied serial lead and using "Easy GPS" and "G7towin" .
Set to Com 1, I get " serial port could not be opened"
Set to com 2, I get "no data received from the GPS"
The etrex is brand new. My puter is running W2000. Device Manager says "device ( both Com 1 and 2) are working properly"
Can my serial ports be being used by some other programs? How to find out and stop them to check the GPS connection?
