Default Another Garmin Question

Me, too......(sigh)

But, then I began reading my MANUAL and found out our 185 would ONLY
accept waypoints in GARMIN FORMAT, not NMEA, even though it was set to
NMEA......DAMMIT.

If you have a system that can talk to the Garmin in its proprietary
GRMN (look on options menus) format, it will accept the waypoints from
your confuser.

Lucky for us, the Raymarine RL70CRC Plus radar/chart plotter DOES talk
NMEA with our Yeoman and confuser...(c;

Hi all
I have a Garmin GPSMAP 185 sounder and am trying to get the Waypoints and
tracks from the unit to the Pc. I have the proper connection from the unit
to the Computer and have tried to use easygps and flexgps to get the
waypoints and tracks to edit and save .Anybody out there who can help would
be appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible as I am not as
computer literate as my spell checker makes me out.
Many Thanks
Brendan
