Problme with transfer from Garmin to TF Pro 3.32
« on: June 15, 2008, 02:55:47 PM »
I started having a data transfer problem.  When I transfer tracks from a Garmin Rino 120 to TF Pro 3.32, everything appears fine until I try to save the track.  Then I get an error saying something like "Could not get date format from win.ini".  This happens 3 times then an error message for type mismatch comes up.  At that point TF shuts down leaving the list of tracks open.  It takes several attempts to "End Now" TF from the windows Task Manager.  TF finally ends after several attempts (2 or 3).  The track has been saved and is usable when TF is opened again.

I have not tested this problem on different computers.  I have tested it with a yellow Garmin eTrex and 3 different Rino120's and it happens on all.  It is happening on a Dell laptom running Windows XP Pro.  If I recall when this first started I think I had just updated TF BEFORE the latest version (about a year ago?).  I had hoped the 3.32 version would fix it, but it did not.  Once it started,  happens on ever attempt to save a track log.

Love the program.  Keep up the good work.  Will post suggestions for improvements separately.

Hi,

Hmmm.  I have a hunch that something got messed up in your time/date settings in the TopoFusion.ini file.

Do you use any international settings, or switch between them (especially date formats?)

Try removing (or moving do a different directory) your TopoFusion.ini file.  If starting with fresh settings gets rid of the problem, could you email us the offending .ini file?

Otherwise, if you could get the exact error message, that would help.  It shouldn't be too hard to figure out what's going on.

Thanks and sorry about the problem!
