    Default Etrex Legend HCX Problem

    Hello, everybody!
    I have device Extrex Legend hcx. The device works without problems.
    I want to transfer about 400 waypoints from this device on a new one.
    But there are problems when I try to connect a PC to the device. Joystick is active untill the selection of the interface.
    But the joystick becomes inactive when I enter the page of the selection of the interface. Only Zoom appears when I try to select a line (it is impossible to select a line).
    There is USB- driver at the bottom of the page. It is hightlighted and I can't move up to the position of the interface. If I simply press on the joystick, the device will select USB-driver, but only micro-CD. I can't see the memory of the device where the waypoints are stored. I tryied different wires and programs (Base Camp, Ozi Explorer, Map Source) but without success.
    Can someone come across a similiar problem?

    @chelove,

    Try EasyGPS or GPSBabel both are free.

    Pass the files to your Laptop and then connect your new GPS and transfer them.

    PS make sure you have a Garmin USB cable then you will not have problems.

    To connect the Etrex go to Main Menu then Setup then Interface and connect.


    You are set to go

    This device support only PVT and so you cannot see device memory as fact. You can use gpsdaemon to obtain memory dump of memory region.

    Please explain how you setup your Etrex on Ozi Explorer as there should be no problem with downloading your .wp, .plt or any other Data from your unit as I setup a M8's one ages ago without any problems.

    You can't see the device as an external drive per say the software just downloads from the device.
    My M8 has the Legend and I still use my Yellow older unit and mine is RS232 interface.

    I turn on Ertex Legend Hex, shoose the settinngs then the inferface but the joystick becomes INACTIVE. There is only USB-driver on default. It't impossible to move up to Garmin. But PC don't see the device without shoosing Garmin.

    I connect my eTrex all the time to my PC both Windows 10 and 7 with no problem at all.

    Once I am in the interface I tap on the joystick where it shows connected and the screen changes to show eTrex and PC connected.

    There is no moving of the joystick just press on it one time.

    Tap the Joystick in this screen

    For using EasyGPS no need to do any of this.


    Just connect the eTrex to the PC and start EasyGPS and click on receive. see my post above.
