Garmin GPS-18 USB driver

I was wondering if anyone had a LabVIEW driver for the USB version of the Garmin GPS-18.

Ferry,
   I was inquiring on behalf of a colleague.  I don't
think he has followed through on this yet.  If I hear of any
progress from him, I'll let you know.

  • Connecting a Garmin GPS USB

    I'm a somewhat new convert to the mac world, so thank you in advance for understanding. I have a Garmin GPS that I was able to connect through USB on a windows PC formerly, but now can't figure out how to get it to connect under my Parallels installation of Win XP using Garmin's City Navigator mapping software, which is apparently not yet available in the Mac OS.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    You don't.
    USB devices must be specifically supported in a
    virtualized environment. Use BootCamp instead.
    If you want to keep trying to use it via Parallels,
    install the 3096 beta build.
    I downloaded the 3096 beta build and still couldn't connect. Interestingly, with my old G-3, I had downloaded Palm Desktop which would hot synch with my Garmin iQue, to transfer addresses and date book data (Palm Desktop wouldn't allow transfer of map data). Now, with my fancy new MacPro with Windows XP Pro, I can't connect with my GPS in Windows, and I cannot synch with it in the Mac OS with Palm Desktop.
    I spent an hour with a Garmin tech who admitted that he wasn't too hep on the Mac, but was unable to solve the problem of not recognizing the GPS with a Hot Synch. He did say that Garmin was working on new drivers to allow the Mac and Garmin to connect but it could be months away.

  • USB to Garmin GPS

    I'm attempting to connect a Garmin 60CS GPS via USB to a program named CompeGPS which is running in Windows XP Pro inside Parallels Beta6.
    The program wil not recognise my GPS.
    Help............please.

    Macs and Garmin have never worked well together, untill now! I just upgraded to a a MacBook Pro and went first with Parralels. No go. Mac and PC USB are apparently differant enough that it wouldn't work, sam as befor under Virtual PC.
    I then installed everything and used Bootcamp (don't forget to follow the directions and install the Mac drivers!) and viola! evrthing works great! City Select and a Garmin eTrex Legend C. If you want to use a Garmin, use Bootcamp!

  • HT2477 how can I connect a Garmin GPS etrex vista hcx to macbook pro with retina.

    I would like to know if is it possible to connect my GPS Garmin etrex vista hcx to my macbook pro with retina.
    Thanks.

    I believe that Garmin GPSr model uses a USB connection, so if you load the Garmin drivers, and possibly the [free] Garmin Base Camp utility, you should be able to connect your GPSr to your macbook Pro and transfer information.  I don't recall positively, but I think that your GPSr should appear as a USB drive automatically once you connect it, but it might require you to load the Garmin Communicator software.

  • Garmin, GPS & Googleearth

    Hi!
    I want to plan and transfer waypoints & tracks from Googleearth to a Garmin GPS without using Windows.
    First of all, is this possible? Anyone tried this?
    Second: What do I need for this? What device, what (free) software for converting and transferring? Is any USB Garmin capable of doing this?
    Thanks alot!
    Walter

    DianneS, Welcome to the discussion area!
    It sounds that using google and babel are easier and better than the garmin software and hence there is no advantage in waiting . Is that correct?
    I need to access my GPS data today so there is no advantage for me to wait for a promised product.
    ...do you know if the zumo 550 holds any advantage over other motorbike versions?
    Sorry but I have no experience with the Zumo 550 nor any Garmin motorbike products. I use the above recommended software with the Garmin eTrex Venture Cx.
    If the Zumo 550 is similar to the StreetPilot c530 there is very little data which can be transferred to/from the computer. About the only thing you can download is POI (points of interest). You do this using Garmin's POI Loader and there is a Mac version of that utility. I have not tested that utility.

  • Garmin GPS recognized?

    I have a Garmin GPS nuvi 255W. I have used the Garmin WebUpdater in the past. Recently my MBP does not recognize the unit when I connect the USB. The Garmin unit come on indicating a connection between the unit and the computer but there is not indication of a connection in the "Finder" file. The GPS unit shows a computer/unit connection for about 1 min and then turns on and goes to the map. I have tried two different USB ports, which have been used with a TomTom unit and another computer but to no avail.  Any suggestions?

    Sorry to bother all of you. After reading, what I wrote, I see that it is a Garmin unit problem and not computer related. What an idiot I am. In any case thanks for the opportunity to address this issue and then see my erro.

  • Upload data from a Garmin GPS watch.

    I would like to download data from a Garmin GPS watch directly to my iPad Mini but can't find how to do it.  I can physically connect it with a 'Lightning to USB Camera Adapter' lead which works well with a camera to download photographs, but when connected to the watch it always returns the message:
    'Cannot use device: IOUSBCompositeDevice: the connected device uses too much power'.
    Is there some way around this or do I need some other piece of equipment?
    Any help would be gratefully received.

    Garmin's manual doesn't mention anything about the type of systems that can be used.
    All it says is 'Plug the USB cable into a USB port on your computer'.  Their website isn't much help either.
    That has worked ok from a PC laptop for a couple of years but the PC is now defunct and I don't want to replace it.
    I would rather just use the iPad as my main connection with the www as it does most of the things I need.
    Except this :-)

  • MSI P67A-GD65 killed my USB drives

    I recently bought MSI P67A-GD65 and I am having a weird problem: I plugged my seagate usb drive and corsair voyager gt usb flash memory stick into usb 3 port on the motherboard and the stopped working (memory stick is dead and smells burned) and the drive is not recognized as proper usb device anymore - result both of them dead. As I recently used these usb devices only with my computer and a old laptop it looks pretty bad for msi motherboard.
    I have a power adapter with shortcut safety and a descent PSU chieftech GPS 650GB, I do not overclock, when I upgraded my PC I replaced motherboard, cpu, memory and graphic card the other components are the same (PSU etc) and I never had the same problem before
    No the questions:
    1. Did anyone else have the same problem?
    2. How can I diagnose it, I am going to replace my usb drives, but how can I be sure I can use them with my PC?
    3. If it is a msi's fault how can I get reimbursted for my damaged property?

     Why don't you provide the information asked for? So far all you have provided is model of motherboard and other information is so vague it's just about useless.
     Again read the >> Posting Guide << and provide required information.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4 and Windows 7 x64 USB Driver Issues

    Been pulling my hair out with this one for the last week or so and haven't had any luck finding anything on the forums or the web regarding a solution short of a full reinstall of Windows 7 which I am not prepared to do at this time; so hoping someone here can shine some light on this for me
    I have a iPhone 5 that is updated to iOS 6.1.4 and a recently built Windows 7 64-bit machine. All of my other USB devices function fine (keyboard, mouse, Xbox 360 wireless receiver for Windows, and a Seagate 2TB external USB drive). I've downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, installed successfully and then attempt to plug in my phone to sync. I get the standard Windows *ding* that I've attached a device and 1 of 2 things happens (I haven't been able to determine what causes one reaction to happen versus the other): Windows will successfully install the 'Apple USB Mobile Device Driver' successfully and it will appear under my USB devices in Device Manager. However - iTunes will not recognize the phone and I cannot see it in Windows either. In the 'Devices and Printers' snap-in my iPhone will appear under 'Unspecified Devices' as the 'Apple USB Mobile Device'. The iTunes diagnostics fail to find a connected device so the tests fail. As soon as I unplug the device, the strangest thing happens: Windows will start trying to install a device driver and after a few seconds it will fail stating that the "MTP Device Driver" installation failed because the device was unplugged. iTunes also thrown an error "iTunes cannot connect to this iPhone" throwing error code 0XE8000065 (I've also seen error code 0XE8000085 as well)
    After some finagling, I've managed to get Windows to recognize the device under 'Portable Devices' in Device Manager as an "MTP USB Device" using the generic driver. At this point, I've tried updating the driver and manually specifying the Apple USB driver located in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Drivers which updates successfully but then changes the device to "Apple USB Mobile Device" and moves it under the USB Devices in Device Manager; and Windows nor iTunes can see it even still.
    I've tried removing iTunes several times and ensuring that all remnants of the installation are gone (registry and folders on the installation drive) and have disconnected all my USB devices short of the keyboard and mouse and still I get the same results. At this point, I'm afraid that a re-install of Windows is going to be the solution; but it's a drastic one (I have a SSD drive where Windows is installed along with all of my games for faster load times/better performance and do not want to have to redownload\reinstall all of them) and I'm not prepared to undertake it at this time, which is why I'm posting here
    I've used a utility called USBDeview that sees my phone is connected - so I know from a functional standpoint that my USB ports are good and working. I also know the cable is good too - my daughter's PC (Windows 7 32-bit with NO iTunes) immediately sees the device when I plug it in, installs the drivers, recognizes it as an iPhone and I can then see/browse it in Windows Explorer like I would normally expect. My work PC (Windows 7 64bit, NO iTunes) sees the device just fine as well. I would immensely appreciate anyone that has seen this issue or has any additional solutions I can try.
    It's also worth mentioning that I've never used Kapersky antivirus so the UPPERFILTERS value in the registry that I've seen as a solution on some forums is not present on my machine. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus (no flaming please lol - it meets my needs and is extremely lightweight, which is why I'm using it on a gaming rig) and it's not indicating any issues. I've also tried running iTunes as an administrator (even though my account is a local admin on the machine) and that does not have any effect either.
    If there is anything I left out, please let me know; and I thank you in advance!

  • New Firewire 800 External Hard Drive and how to use old External USB Drive

    Hi All,
    I have a new LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk hard drive 500 GB - FireWire / FireWire 800 / Hi-Speed USB / eSATA-300 on the way, when it arrives I plan to use it as my Time Machine Backup drive with the FireWire 800 connection. I am currently using a Seagate Free Agent USB 2.0 320 GB external drive as my Time Machine disk. The reason for upgrading is the USB drive is slow slow slow! I am not concerned about the data on my old drive and will just wipe it clean using Disk Utility. What I would like to do is use the old drive to archive iTunes 7.7.1 and Aperture 2.0 music and photographs. Can someone give me an idea how to go about doing this?
    Thanks!

    Hi, yes that will copy the whole iTunes..including everything in iTunes..BUT, as you add to your iTunes on the Main HD, with the ext HD I think you will have to manually update anything added. Or dragNdrop the whole thing again.. You could also locate you iTunes music Library & just copy that across..With images once again find your iPhoto library & just copy that across..L

  • How do  I Install Windows 7 on Mac Book Pro via a Bootable USB Drive

    Hi Guys,
    I have a Mac Book Pro 13 inch, Early 2011 Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 (I initially had OS 10.5.8 which I upgraded to OSX 10.9.4 a few months ago).
    When purchased it, I installed Windows via Super Drive (that being the only time i ever used the super drive). My Windows got corrupted for some reason 2 months ago. Hence, I removed the windows via Bootcamp to perform a fresh install. I discovered my Super Drive was no longer working.
    Thereon I have been trying to install Windows via a bootable USB Drive but am failing to do so. After going through several forums, I have reached the following stage.
    1. Created Bootable Windows USB Drive using Windows USB (http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Bootable-Windows-7-or-Vista-USB-Drive). Have used this USB drive to install windows on a DELL Computer
    2. Bootcamp wasnt creating a partition for windows since no Windows Installation disc was being detected in super drive. (Solved it by downloading Toast Titanium and loading the .iso file on a virtual drive).
    3. Boot menu was initially not detecting external drive, so installed rEFIt - An EFI Boot Menu and Toolkit. Now it is detecting the USB Drive.
    Now when I boot from this device, it get a black screen with the message "No bootable device - Insert Boot Disk"
    Request someone to please help me install windows as some softwares which I work with are windows based.

    So my understanding is that my Boot Camp Assistant (BCA), since it does not allow USB installer, it sets NVRAM to boot from Optical Drive. Right?
    Yes.
    So can I change it or update it to another BCA version which supports the same??
    All BCA versions drive the logic based on the Mac Model Identifier. Unfortunately there is no real workaround. .

  • Global reset of file / folder permissions on a USB Drive

    I just migrated to a new MB Pro. I now have an issue with file permissions on my USB drive that I use for Time Machine and some other external data. I understand (sort of) why the permissions are messed up, because you're forced to come up with a new user name when you migrate your data and applications. That being said, I just want to globally reset / update the permissions on my USB drive and it's data so that I'm the owner; and I can read and write. And I want to save all my data.
    I've started this process going from the "get information" screen, so I think I know how. But it's been running forever. Isn't there some type of universal setting for a drive or does it just need to crunch thru every single file and directory?

    Whatever you've done already it's the wrong thing to do. You cannot arbitrarily change permissions on every file on your backup using the Get Info window. The result will be a complete screwup of all the file permissions on your backup. You will manage to make a simple problem into an unsolvable one.
    Next time you should ask first before you act rather than after when you cannot go back. Since you did this to your TM backup drive about all you can do at this point is erase the drive and start your TM backups from scratch. Of course this doesn't resolve anything for whatever you tried to migrate to your new computer.
    If you migrated your old Home folder to the new computer then first be sure the account has admin status, then log into the account. You should then have full access to all your restored files. You can then delete the other user account.

  • How to stop importing from usb drive going into root ITMS directory

    First time I imported, everything was fine. I was trying to get rid of some duplicates and got rid of one of the main subdirectories (I had "Itunes Music" folder with two main subdirectories, let's call them "Laptop" and "Desktop." I noticed I had many duplicate artists from these, so I deleted the "Laptop" directory. Naturally, all these showed up with asterisks on iTunes. With no easy way to delete them all (can't sort based on asterisk, apparently), I removed EVERYTHING from my Library and attempted to copy over from the USB drive again. This time, the contents of "Laptop" went into the root "iTunes Music" folder (so there were now ~50+ folders including the "Desktop."
    This isn't working for me, since my objective is to get rid of the duplicate work (duplicate tracks I can somewhat stomach, but I also have some duplicate "Artists" which is driving me crazy). I removed everything from the library, deleting it all (~30+GB) and deleted all of the subdirectories from the iTunes Music folder.
    When I went to reimport it all again. I dragged the "Laptop" folder from Finder on the USB drive into the iTunes Music directory again (as I did the first time), recreated the and everything continues to populate the top iTunes music folder. Is there any way to stop this? I want the "Laptop" folder to stay in it's subdirectory structure distinct and separate from the "Desktop" folder so I can ensure I am not unnecessarily increasing my structure.
    One easy (though extremely tedious) alternative could be to import the folders one at a time... but I'd really like to avoid that. But for my first mistake, this wouldn't have been an issue. I haven't changed any settings on iTunes, so please advise!

    I have duplicate (different) stuff on the laptop versus desktop but some unique to each (and all kinda scrambled up). I first started importing on my old G3 ibook. It was slower and chugged harder and some are at really low bitrate, for example, and also lack album art. My XP desktop was made for gaming and is much more powerful, so I always did high bitrate and was much more careful to do all the album art, etc.
    Now I'm trying to consolidate it all on my new MBP... Mostly, though, it's a mess and I've been putting this off for years and it's mostly my fault. My biggest gripe is the large number of duplicate tracks. I can live with these when they're from different albums (compilations mostly), but not when one is a lower bit. I imagine I'm gonna be doing it the hard way, one album/artist at a time...
