Garmin Interface problems
I just got a garmin handheld with Bluechart, wow what a bear to sort out. Just thought I'd let folks know about the capatability issues if anyone is looking at them. My pc's usb wasn't compatable and its a fairly new pc. After messing around for hours and hours I called up garmin service and they said yep it probably won't work and were aware of the compatability issues. I had to get a pci card that didn't have a via chip. I found this out after getting the first pci card and that didn't work either. Garmin recomended a NEC chip but any pci cards I could find were made with via chips. There aren't many pci's around anymore because everything is sd cards and wireless. I finally found a pci card with a cmd chip and I was finally able to download some software!!!
