Thanks Jack, I actually tried Hyperterminal first with no luck but i didnt
do it like u explained, ill give that another try. I thought there may be an
easy app to do it simpler.


Well maybe there is one. Look at GPS Utility at this link:
http://www.gpsu.co.uk/gpsrecs.html

They have a good freeware version that will let you test it. I have had
the registered version of GPSU for a few years and use it regularly to
upload and download waypoints and routes from several Magellan handheld
GPS units.

It is also great for reviewing and editing routes and for editing the
names and comments of waypoints. You can also download and view
trackpoints as a list and plotted. Any of the data GPSU will collect
can be displayed overlaid on bit mapped raster image maps too. I'm not
sure how much of that applies to your Furuno but it's worth looking at.

It looks like the GP32 expects the sending process to be started from
the GP32, so I'm not quite sure how GPSU handles that. On my Magellans
GPSU finds the GPS (I have to tell it the port settings) and gets or
sends the stuff.

Here is the manual for the GP32 if you don't have one. The capability
to do what you want to do is there but the procedure for doing it seems
a little more complicated than it needs to be.

It may just be me but it seems like when I use Furuno stuff I go through
a period of frustration trying to get it set up, then make a call to a
Furuno tech support guy who usually tells me "ignore the manual, it is
screwed up, do this instead...", and then I get it going and it works
beautifully.
