Can not download waypoints tracks from Magellan to Oziexplorer

Hello Josh

As you seem to be aware most of the modern day GPS units act as external memory device when connect to a PC so some of the settings you refer to in OziExplorer are actually no longer needed/relevant if all you are doing is transferring waypoints and tracks. Secondly both Magellan and Garmin (and others) now save all data as GPX files (waypoints and tracks) ..or at least provide the option.

I would therefore suggest you simply create a working folder on your PC for your GPS data (maybe a different folder for each trip/area etc). Then just copy/cut data you want from the GPS to this folder using windows i.e. dont bother trying to find it on the GPS via OziExplorer. As indicated files (waypoint and track) should be *.gpx format.

Then within OziExplorer use LOAD -> IMPORT GPX FILE



Find the folder with your data and select file of interest.

View, edit etc then to save any edits use SAVE -> EXPORT TO GPX FILE.



Save the file with a new name if you want/overwrite etc same as any other file save in Windows.

Then copy to the relevant file onto the GPS using Windows explorer.

You can of course just do above and open/close GPX files directly from GPS when connected as an external memory device but I think it is better to have data on PC, open/edit etc then copy back to GPS.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers
