Very nice... it shows where they work and more importantly where they do not work.

I don't know if it matters but the GPSmap 60c should be GPSmap 60 cx which is the unit I reported as working. However, for guidance purposes with TLDCN I think the 60 series (cs, cx, csx) will all work. So you might just specify GPSmap 60 series.

Thank you moderator, but you knew this was going to happen.

I cannot get my pharos 500 to work with 2011 campground navigator. I am using windows vista. This same gps works fine with navigator 2007 on same computer and also on another with windows xp. Neither will work correctly with navigator 2011 They will start up ( a little slowly, and then suddenly the marker will disappear from the map, although the coordinates and other info stays current. There is plenty of ram to work with as the computer has 3 gb of ram. I have checked the info for the pharos, it is running on com 8 and at 4800 baud for both 2011 and 2007. Also using the 32 bit driver .

To confirm, are you saying if you backrev to TLDCN 2007 on the same computer, with the same OS (Windows 7), and everything works fine? and when you are using TLDCN 2011 did you also install TLDCN 2011 SP1 (Service Pack 1)? If you have done this and the only difference is the TLDCN software, then it sounds like something different in TLDCN that is now preventing this from working.

If this is the case contact TLDCN tech support via email. Here's their email address: support@undertowsoftware.com

I have successfully connected my Qstarz BT-Q1000XT Travel Recorder using TLDCN 2011 with Windows XP.

I have a Garmin 1450 LMT. But I also received a GPS (?), receiver or something with the Program. However I could never get it to work. That is nothing new for me and this computer stuff. Maybe I did it wrong. I plugged it in and waited and nothing happen. ????????

How did you get a GPS with the program? I didn't know they sold it with a GPS! What type/brand of GPS is it? And, where did you get the program/GPS package from? I have never seen them as a package.

Anyway, if you just plugged it and just waited for something to happen, nothing would happen You've got to do something, like find out what port the gps is connected to and then tell that to the program. I think the program has a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it, under the help option.

Xavier, not sure what the OP is talking about. To my knowledge, the navigator program was never shipped with a gps receiver.

I certainly didn't get one with my copy of the program

From the list above I understand the BU-353 GPS works with this software but what about a BU-353 S4? The new S4 version supports the Sirf 4 version of GPS tracker. I have heard that a GPS using Sirf 4 may not work with software and utilities that support Sirf 3.

Does anyone know how this might affect TLDCN or RTN? Does TLDCN/RTN care about the Sirf version of the GPS? Has anyone used a BU-353 S4 with RTN and had success?

I am currently using RTN2012 and using a Garmin GPSMap 60 series handheld GPS but want to convert to a much smaller and lighter BU353 and would prefer the newer generation S4, but only if I know it's gonna work. I am guessing it should work, but I would prefer knowing for sure.

Art, I don't have that specific device, but I can't really see why it wouldn't work!

Can someone please update the list of GPS devices supported? Some of them are so old...
