    GPS Question

    I was wandering if anyone would an answer for me:

    I've got an SD card from my previous Garmin GPS 750 with all my waypoints and tracks on it.
    My current GPS is Northstar and also takes an SD card but it doesn't read the card at all.
    Is there any way that I can transfer my waypoints to the Northstar GPS M84 that you would know?

            What format does the Northstar GPS ask for?
            GPS Babel program should convert easily to suit the northstar.

                The easiest way to transfer to and from Northstar/Navman is via a PC hookup using GPSU and NMEA format. They use a C-Map format for waypoints so if you don't have C-Maps PC Planner they are a pain. If you are happy to pay someone to do the transfer Trymax Marine at Capalaba has the gear to do them.

                Regards
