well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

I have a Standard Horizon GPS Chart 160 which is similar to the CP175C or
just 175. I am trying to get my numbers off of it and put them on my new
and
beloved Garmin 498. I can not for the life of me find out how to get them
onto my computer fron the 160. I have tried MapSource and GPSU and
neither
seem to be aboe to communicate with the Standard Horizon. I have checked
the
path, etc with my old Garmin GPS 12 and it's points fly right into
MapSource.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set up my Standard Horizon to talk
to
my PC? I would even load them directly to the Garmin 498 if I can do so.

Thank You for your HELP!


Here is the manual (I think):

I don't see any way to do what you want to do. I think it might be
possible, however. Your best bet is to call SH and ask them how.

There is a utility to save the information to a C-card. The trick will
be to send that information to the NMEA port instead and in a usable
format.....
