Support for Garmin Forerunner 405

[ScottJ]

Does TopoFusion Pro support the Garmin Forerunner 405, which uses the Garmin USB ANT stick for communication between the 405 and your computer?  I just purchased this unit, and have it set up with Garmin's Training Center.  However, whenever I try to initiate a GPS Communications session with the 405, I get the following error message:  "Error initializing COM/USB port, check for other programs using port and that the device is connected and turned on.  If you are using a Garmin USB unit, you may not have the USB drivers installed.  Get them here:  <pointer to Garmin USB drivers>"  I've tried setting the GPS type to Garmin USB, Garmin Serial, and Older Garmin Serial.

No, there is no direct support for units that use the ANT stick.  Here is another topic that talks about how to get the TCX files from Training Center and open them up in TF:

Thanks for the reply, Scott.  I'd already seen the other thread, and was able to successfully export a new run today in Garmin Training Center format (.tcx) to my Topofusion directory and open the file in Topofusion.  I see in the other thread that you intend to support all Garmin devices, and am hoping that hasn't changed.

By the way - I've been using Topofusion for almost four years, and absolutely love it!
