Hi, We have GPS routes that will load into older Magellan
GPS systems, but they won't load into a Magellan SporTrak
with Magellan Mapsend software. Anybody know what is
different between the current version of this and previous
Magellan hardware/software so that the routes won't load
into the GPS?

Does anyone have this combo that is willing to help
test and debug this in exchange for the corrected
routes up Munros?

TIA, Rob

I'm a Garmin owner so I can't help directly, but

(a) try posting a query on sci.geo.satellite-nav

(b) send me files in both formats & I will have a look

PS Where is Munros ? I'm not sure I want to walk up it.

No idea, but if the old routes were saved with a third
party program like OziExplorer, surely they'd be uploadable
into the SporTrak from Ozi? Since Ozi saves in its own
format it could surely upload a track or route to any GPS,
couldn't it?
