Default Connecting Standard Horizon GPS to Computer

Michael,

First things first....
You have GPSU - That is as good a start as you can have (IMHO).
When you tap connect, What does GPSU tell you at the bottom of the screen?
If it does not say SH.... something it might say NMEA....
If it doesn't say something, you may not have a working connection.

Can you get the SH160 to report position to GPSU?
The SH unite frequently have multiple NMEA port sets. Each has to be
configured in the setup-advanced menu for what you want it to do. Some
SH units can even open a proprietary port type, but GPSU can even work
that.
If you can't find something that makes sense there, Call SH.
If they can't/won't help try the GPSU forum on Yahoo.

If you can't get it to talk to GPSU, you are done. GPSU is all I use
for this service.

Let us know what happens. If you are still having

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!

Sorry for accidentaly posting this in the wrong area the first time. I would
not figure out how to move it so posted it here...
