Etrex Legend HCX Problem

But the joystick becomes inactive when I enter the page of the selection of the interface Etrex Legend.How can I choose the GARMIN interface???

Setup OziExplorer properly and it will work.

If you use MapSource just plug in the Etrex do nothing to the GPS.

Start MapSource and tap on Transfer pick From device

When this window opens see screen shot do you see your device?????

If you do not see your Etrex and you have tried Find Device the Try another cable....

If you can see your device then transfer your waypoints.

See screen shot


You should see something like this.

Try different cables and do not change any settings

I connected various cables. I connected four different devices-Oregon 450,Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx,Montana 650,Etrex Legend Hcx.MapSource,Ozi Explorer,EasyGPX -show all the devices except Etrex Legend.The problem is in the device, not in the program or cable.

Then uninstall the USB drive and get the latest version from Garmin Support website

USB Drivers software version 2.3.1.2

As I do not know what version of Windows you are using.......
This should work on Windows 10

Try it:

OK, solved it now. The SD card needed reformatting. It appeared not to as I could still upload/download files to/from it, but as soon as I reformatted it MapSource was able to recognise it and I was able to upload my routes and tracks. Just redownloading my maps now.

Refer also previous post.

@chelovek,

In your post 11 you show your eTrex is connected but the wrong way

See screen shot

The error you getting is because you changed the setting that you did not need to do

That is what the message is telling you that you did something wrong !!!!!!!!

DO NOT Change any SETTING on YOUR etrex

Just plug the eTrex in via USB and do nothing on it.

All the work is done on the software be it what ever software you are using.


There is no joy stick to be moved just leave the eTrex alone

I have just noticed the second Pic of mine "that you may need to Tick the Garmin USB box"
My unit is RS232 with an "RS232 to USB adapter"
You really need to slow down a bit and really look at what you are doing with Software, I have had that situation from Peps, so look carefully before you say it doesn't work.
