Way Points.....

Post by tnbearhunter211 »

How do you take stored way points off of one astro 220 and store them in another astro 220?

Download a Free program called Basecamp.

You can download the Files and waypoints, then plug in the second GPS and quickly dump them to the New GPS.

Here is the Free Download for Basecamp

No problem,

When you run the program and plug in your garmin, YOu'll see it on the Upper Left side, when you click on the device, you can copy all the waypoints tracks, dog track etc etc to the Part called "my Collection" which is basically saving it on your computer.

Then just copy the Stuff out of "my collection" to the new device. I probably wouldn't copy the Dog tracks

Last year a friend lost a dog, so we actually did copy the lost dog track over to several devices so that we could all know where the last location was, Which turned out to be helpful. so we could split up and walk in from different canyons.

Basecamp is one way, and not a bad idea to get use to using it. Although your 200 came with a program called trip and waypoint manager. It's a little more user friendly to use at first. Still a real good idea to start using the basecamp. There is a 3rd way, but that is a bit more complicated. Does not require any software though. Just need to be a bit more computer savy.
