Saw a few spring birds out the yard this morning, so, cold as it is, we
must be getting close to a seasonal change - I hope. Put out some seed
for them in our backyard feeders - they gotta be hungry.

Dug my Garmin GPS out of its winter hiding place, took off the dust
cover, and used my "accessory" two wire cord to plug it in and then
logged onto Garmin's site to see if there was a software update. There
was. Downloaded it, transferred it onto an SD card and...voila! Now, if
warm weather would only get here.

The Garmin system software is fine, but I sure don't have much good to
say about its "Mapsource" software to add waypoints and suchlike from
your computer to the unit. It's klunky.

I called their help line yesterday about switching maps on my GPSMAP 60Cx.
After buying the unit at a Costco online sale in October last year, I went
out and bought the Blue chart for coastal Nova Scotia.
Everything worked fine...although I do find the screen a bit small.
For Christmap I received the Topo map software for Canada. Since the 64 mg
microSD memory card can't hold it all...I just added the topo maps for the
Maritime provinces.
Problem was...I didn't know how to switch back and forth from marine to topo
maps on the handheld. It was easy on the computer... but confusing for the
60 Cx.
Took 10 seconds to get the simple steps pointed out and now I'm good to go.

You must be doing it wrong, or trying to "guess" how to do it without
bothering to read the manual. There's nothing particularly clunky
about it.

I have no problems with mine, either.

It's VERY complicated!

select the "waypoint tool" which is the little green flag icon in the
menu bar

click on the point where you want to create a waypoint.

a window pops up where you can name the waypoint, (requires typing the
name)

select what icon it will use if other than default black square is
desired (drop down menu)

select what category or categories it will be listed in (check boxes)

Optional: a "comment" if wanted and a few otther parameters. Most of
the time, all you need to do is name it and select what categories you
want it listed under.

Done.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, but you know that Harry probably has a limited addition beta,
not released to the public, only him and three other people in the
world allowed access. Just like his music, and his software! At least
that will be his claim. I wonder if he uses his Garmin on his lobster
boat?

You need a chartplotter to figure out where you are when your boat is
parked on the hard in the marina? Do you have a waypoint for that?
Bwahahahaha.

You still haven't explained, even in general terms what problem you
have entering waypoints, and why the instructions I posted don't
apply.



It's always a bit humorous to me when someone who isn't very bright,
someone like you, makes assumptions about what others are doing at a
particular moment, or how they are using a piece of gear.

No, crap-for-brains, I wasn't using the plotter to figure out where I
was on the day that photo was taken, *nor* was the boat parked at a marina.

And you are right, I haven't explained the problem I had. I don't intend
to do so, either. The only aspect of it that was important was that I
was not doing with waypoints what you were doing.

I'm saving *this* bit from your post:

" The truth is you aren't doing anything with waypoints in MapSource
because you don't own MapSource. We all get that, Hairless. Go play

It's a perfect example of the sort of "scummery" that sadly has taken
over in rec.boats.

parked on the hard in the marina? Do you have a waypoint for that?
Bwahahahaha.

You still haven't explained, even in general terms what problem you
have entering waypoints, and why the instructions I posted don't
apply.


It's always a bit humorous to me when someone who isn't very bright,
someone like you, makes assumptions about what others are doing at a
particular moment, or how they are using a piece of gear.

No, crap-for-brains, I wasn't using the plotter to figure out where I
was on the day that photo was taken, *nor* was the boat parked at a marina.

And you are right, I haven't explained the problem I had. I don't intend
to do so, either. The only aspect of it that was important was that I
was not doing with waypoints what you were doing.

I'm saving *this* bit from your post:

" The truth is you aren't doing anything with waypoints in MapSource
because you don't own MapSource. We all get that, Hairless. Go play
in traffic."

It's a perfect example of the sort of "scummery" that sadly has taken
over in rec.boats.


So, in other words, you admit have no idea what you are talking about,
and cannot support anything you claimed about setting waypoints in
Mapsource.

Got it!




Again, more scummery from crap-for-brains.

I know exactly what I was talking about in waypoints, and I can
easily support what I claimed.

I simply choose not to do so.

There is *no* requirement I do what *you* want here or, in fact,
anywhere else. You're nothing more than another "anonymous" rec.boats
a**hole.

"In other words" is the refuge you twerps frequently hide behind when
other posters won't do as you wish.

It's funny, he's more than willing to prove with photo that he has a
little old GPS and Mapsource. He's also more than willing to prove he
has an LT Parker with photo. He's also willing to take photos of his
septic tank being fixed, his boat trailer, the marina he frequents,
his office area in his house, his new cabinets, etc. But he seems very
unwilling to take a picture of his lobster boat, his Yale degree, etc.
He also seems to not be able to dig up any record of his father's
trans-Atlantic venture that earned him a fireboat welcome in NY
harbor. Odd, huh?

It's VERY complicated!
select the "waypoint tool" which is the little green flag icon
in the
menu bar
click on the point where you want to create a waypoint.
a window pops up where you can name the waypoint, (requires
typing the
name)
select what icon it will use if other than default black

desired (drop down menu)
select what category or categories it will be listed in (check

Done.
Not quite.

You and Loogy ought to get a room - you are perfectly suited for
each other.

As I stated, I am not doing what *you* do with waypoints.

The truth is you aren't doing anything with waypoints in MapSource
because you don't own MapSource. We all get that, Hairless. Go play in
traffic.

How about a picture of the 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat?


Is Skipper dead?

You tell me Mr. Dossier On Everyone.

Why don't you tell us what you did to Skipper?

You need a chartplotter to figure out where you are when your boat is
parked on the hard in the marina? Do you have a waypoint for that?
Bwahahahaha.

You still haven't explained, even in general terms what problem you
have entering waypoints, and why the instructions I posted don't
apply.

It's always a bit humorous to me when someone who isn't very bright,
someone like you, makes assumptions about what others are doing at a
particular moment, or how they are using a piece of gear.

No, crap-for-brains, I wasn't using the plotter to figure out where
I was on the day that photo was taken, *nor* was the boat parked at
a marina.

And you are right, I haven't explained the problem I had. I don't
intend to do so, either. The only aspect of it that was important
was that I was not doing with waypoints what you were doing.

I'm saving *this* bit from your post:

" The truth is you aren't doing anything with waypoints in MapSource
because you don't own MapSource. We all get that, Hairless. Go
play in traffic."

It's a perfect example of the sort of "scummery" that sadly has
taken over in rec.boats.


So, in other words, you admit have no idea what you are talking about,
and cannot support anything you claimed about setting waypoints in
Mapsource.
Got it!




Again, more scummery from crap-for-brains.

I know exactly what I was talking about in waypoints, and I can
easily support what I claimed.

I simply choose not to do so.

There is *no* requirement I do what *you* want here or, in fact,
anywhere else. You're nothing more than another "anonymous" rec.boats
a**hole.

"In other words" is the refuge you twerps frequently hide behind when
other posters won't do as you wish.

Can your support our claim to having a 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat?


The pictures show up in a matter of minutes when he *can* prove
something. The rest are obvious lies.

It's funny, he's more than willing to prove with photo that he has a
little old GPS and Mapsource. He's also more than willing to prove he
has an LT Parker with photo. He's also willing to take photos of his
septic tank being fixed, his boat trailer, the marina he frequents,
his office area in his house, his new cabinets, etc. But he seems very
unwilling to take a picture of his lobster boat, his Yale degree, etc.
He also seems to not be able to dig up any record of his father's
trans-Atlantic venture that earned him a fireboat welcome in NY
harbor. Odd, huh?

Odd? No. Total bull****. Believe it.
