Thread: hydrografx

Hey Cane Pole do you have a usb to serial adapter that will work with Vista 64 bit if so could you let me know I would like to buy one. I just got one this week that will work for 32 bit but not 64.

Brad, sent you a pm. I might be able to help you with that hydrografx upload. I transfer them directly from a computer to a garmin map 76. Also from computer to a hbird 997. You have to use Humminbird PC and Easy GPS. Thanks to canepole I'm learning!

If so, boy am I stupid. Wasted a few hours of my life, and got a lot of strange looks from the neighbors sitting behind the wheel of my boat in the driveway entering GPS waypoints. I really need to get with the times.

Have you tried running in the compatibility mode?

Go to program shortcut. Go to properties. Tab over to compatibility tab. Change compatibility window to something like: XP ser pack2. Be sure to click the little compatibility box next to compatibility window. You might get lucky.



If not, this converter below works. Be sure to go back and un-check your compatibility box.
