missing waypoints?

[derricknehrenberg]

Hi,

I'm using TF 3.95 on a Mac running XP and a garmin 705.  The 705 has all updates.  Yesterday, waypoints I entered on the garmin were included in my tracks, today there are no waypoints.

Here are the issues I've checked through:

1. Toggles on/off (obviously)
2. File properties, no waypoints in the list even though waypoints are on the garmin unit.
3. Show points on/off
4. Checked GPS type = Garmin USB
5. Uninstall/Reinstall TF
6. Poking all over TF
7. getting mad at my two year old for trying to overtake my computer poking for "thomas the train" U-tubing.

Read through support topics that fell out of "waypoints" search, but had no luck

The sudden disappearance of the waypoints is odd and suggests some sort user failure, but I can't seem to correct the issue.  Any suggestions?

Hmm, I don't remember off the top of my head how the 705 deals with its waypoints and how they are archived.

They should be in the Garmin\GPX\current\current.gpx file (when the 705 shows up as a USB drive).  That is the file that TF pulls in when you use the "Download Waypoints" command in GPS transfer.  I don't think you can get both tracks and waypoints from a single download in TF.

What you can do, however, is load the above file (current.gpx) and both should be there.  You can then edit and re-save that somewhere on your hard drive.

Let me know if that helps or not.

I added the current.gpx file as you suggested and the waypoints work perfectly. 

Thanks for the quick response.
