Either
a) Eject the card, put it into a card reader slot
b) Put the GPS into "mass storage mode" after connecting via USB cable. Use
these two steps to find the mode change -> Setup Menu -> Interface . The
GPS then becomes the most expensive USB Memory Stick you ever bought, and
the GPX files can be copied off the device.

Translate/interpret the GPX files with numerous bits of software.

Removing the USB lead will cause the GPS to re-boot and return to normal
operation

The option a) is of course clear, but the b) till now I haven't seen
it in windows explorer. I can see every mass storage device, but the
Garmin card. If I connect the GPS to the computer, it recognizes it
but nothing more. Only Garmin software can handle the receiver. Ok,
I'll try it once more.
Tks a lot.
Palo.

The b) doesn't work. I can't understand it.
