Upload GPS information into Diving Log

Post by nielsiek »

I have a Garmin GPSmap 62ST device. I want to upload de GPS coordinates to diving log on my laptop. But the application can't find the GPS device. With the Garmin application homeport I can find the device. What I am doing wrong?

Hi

GPS support is very difficult in Windows due to all kind of different devices and drivers. I'm using a 3rd party GPS library, but I couldn't really test it and unfortunately I can't say much about this problem. I think the easies way is to copy and paste the coordinates from the Garmin application into Diving Log. You can change the coordinate format to match the Garmin format and that way it should be very easily.
