Garmin USB Support for Topo USA 5.0

I loaded service pack 2 and any time I start the GPS the program hangs and stops responding.

I have tried powering up the GPS before I start Topo and also after topo is up. Nothing works.

Since there is only one change, there are a couple of suggestions:

1. Reinstall SP2.

2. Uninstall and Reinstall Topo. You might have to re-link any data files you installed on your hard drive ( Map Files / Add / Data Locations)

3. Try using the Search link to see if anyone else had this problem.

I have T5 with SP2 and a Garmin, I haven't experienced this problem.

I uninstalled Topo 5 and reinstalled it and put on service pack 2 and it still stops responding if I click start GPS.

What GPS settings are you using?

Is it plugged into a USB port, or a converter (if it's a converter, the port has to be set to com port, not USB).

Sorry, I'm just fishing because a number of folks have said their Garmin 60CS works fine with SP2.

Here's something else to try:
Download EasyGPS (when it locks up, it only takes a few seconds to kill and reload)

Make certain you have a good connection with your GPS--you can upload and download information to it.

Quit EasyGPS.

Start Topo 5 now that you have verified you have a good GPS connection and try again.

I downloaded Service Pack 2 and was able to download from my Garmin GPSmap 60CS with no prblem.It worked great. I still have a lot of learning on the use of the Garmin GPS and the Topo 5.0 as I've only had them for a few weeks.

I had a reliable connection thru COM1. My GPS is a GARMIN 12 and does not communicate thru USB. I guess I should not have downloaded this service pack. How do I set it back?
