Tracks Display on GPS, Don't D/L to Mapsource

 

My Nuvi 205w, yes, it's old but a real workhorse, seems to have an issue. Lately, I can not download recently generated tracks to my Mapsouce s/w.

Let me clarify...I can download tracks to a newly opened Mapsource file with no issue. The tracks clearly shown on the GPS display generated prior to 26 Sept 2013 download, but the tracks generated after that date, clearly shown on the GPS display, are not coming down to Mapsource.

They're all on the GPS display, but not all are coming down. I've checked every .gpx file on the internal memory and external card and nothing. The latest .gpx file in internal memory modified today 5 Oct 13, which I think is named current.gpx downloads just the tracks before 26 Sept 13. Why can I see the the full gamut of tracks on the GPS display but not the later tracks in Mapsource?

Thanks

Solution to Tracks Display, Don't D/L to Mapsource

I was able to solve the issue with the help from Garmin Customer Support. It took 4 different techs but the final one was a senior tech who suggested I save all my saved waypoints to a mapping program and then do a hard reset.

That solved the issue. Apparently sometime on 26 Sept the OS lost it's mind .... who knows why. But the hard reset found it's mind again. All new tracks show on the display and transfer correctly to both Mapsource and Basecamp. I have reloaded all my saved waypoints with no issues. Of course ya have to reconfigure your favorite settings again but that's trivial.
