Importing Waypoints from a GPS Device
 
Direct Connection
 
Waypoints can be read into the Terrain module through a direct serial/usb connection with the GPS receiver using menu File | Import GPS Waypoints. The AutoDetect function in  GPS Device Options dialog will recognize supported Garmin GPS connected to USB or Serial port.
 
 Direct download of waypoints is only available for Garmin devices that support Garmin transfer protocol.  Unsupported devices will need to use the File Transfer method (described below) to read waypoint files.
 
Routes and Tracks are not supported at this time.me.
Make sure the GPS device is set to "Garmin mode", and not "NMEA mode" in setup.
 
Garmin Serial Devicesces
 
Supported Garmin serial devices include:

If your computer doesn't have a serial connecter (RS232), it is possible to connect your GPS using a USB connection.  To do this, you will require a Serial to USB adaptor cable.  This generic cable is available from most computer retail stores and comes with a MS Windows driver.   When this adaptor cable is attached, the GPS transfer will be available through an additional COM port (e.g. COM4).

Unsupported Garmin USB Devices
 Some newer Garmin USB Devices do not support the Garmin transfer protocol. To transfer waypoints with these devices, copy the GPX files from the device mass storage onto your computer.
 
Unsupported Garmin USB Devices include:de:
 
Colorado (all models)Oregon (all models)Nuvi (all models)
 
File Transfer
 
Waypoints can also be imported into Terrain from an ASCII file using menu  File | Insert File. 
 
Support is provided for Magellan *.UPT files(see Importing Magellan GPS Data for more information).  Other formats can be read by creating an ASCII import specification.
