[WinMac] Trouble using MapSource with VPC on a Wallstreet
Richard Palais(palais[at]brandeis.edu)
I would like to downloaded data from a Garmin MapSource CDROM to a Garmin GPS III+. The Garmin software only runs on Wintel machines, so I have now installed VirtualPC 3.0 on my Wallstreet (it's amazing!) and tried to do the download as directed. Everything worked fine until I tried to do the actual transfer of the map data to my Garmin III+, at which point I got an error message saying that the Garmin was not responding. I know I have the Garmin attached correctly (to the printer/modem serial port) since I could do a test upload of waypoint data from it to the WS using GPSy ( a Mac program). The "direct cable" is set to use COM1 in VPC, and I also have COM1 set in the MapSource software preferences. Being very new to Wintel I don't know what to try next. Any help on this would be very much appreciated!---Thanks, Dick Palais ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- Richard S.
