Error when downloading waypoints from Garmin eTrex summit. I have preferences set to Garmin, Com 1,. Download is complete, then Topofusion shuts down.  I get an error window from Windows that tells me this is the error

Quote

AppName: topofusion.exe AppVer: 2.6.0.0 ModName: ntdll.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00001010

It looks like down load gets completed as the "save as" window opens up under the error ( send error info window) opens up, but I am unable to save as the program shuts down.

computer is XP home, fully updated. connection is a non-USB cable

Any help would be appreciated.

This is odd.  We haven't had any bug reports in serial GPS downloading for some time.  

Can you try downloading your tracklog and see if that also crashes?

Also, try creating a new file, then after you select "Download Waypoints" choose that file in the top drop down box.  This will add the waypoints to that already selected file.  See if that works.  It might be a problem in the save as... dialog, or it could just be in the wrapping up of the GPS xfer.

Thanks.

The windows errow windown pops up on of of the save as window when the download is complete, there's no way I can get to the save as window to tell my files where to go.  I can make a screen shot of the error if you want, or copy and paste additional information from the error screen.

 I made a new track today, maybe that one will work, stay tuned.

Sorry, the I mean the file selection drop down at the top of the GPS dialog screen.  Try selecting the file (any file, really) to download the points into, instead of the default of "-New File-" which brings up the save as... dialog.

I'll bet downloading tracks works, but it will be interesting if you can do a save as... from the merge dialog.

sorry if I seem dense. Here's how I am attempting to download.
GPS ( Garmin Etrex summit turned on, hooked to computer by non-sub cable.

I open gps>gps transfer> get gps communication window> "new file" is only option ( I did make a new folder within the program but it doens't show up in the drop down window)

Are limited options a function of the demo?

Download tracks is checked.  Download goes into effect, and then I get this: ( screen shot loaded on my web site)
