GSAK wont send gsk file

Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2011 8:26 am

I am trying to send from GSAK to my Garmin Colorado 400T my current PQ. All I get is an error message "Unable to create file: F\Garmin\gpx\geocaches\gpx Check to see if file is open in another application."

It is not open anywhere else.

Any ideas?

This happened to me yesterday. I shut down GSAK, unplugged the Garmin, reconnected and it worked. If you've tried that already...dunno.

The path looks incomplete unless you purposefully deleted the file name for your post. Otherwise I would expect to see F\Garmin\gpx\geocaches\FILENAME.gpx

Shouldn't that be F:\Garmin\gpx\geocaches\FILENAME.gpx?

the file name is ok, I just forgot part of it.

Tried turning everything off and on.

Also did a hard reset on the Garmin, which is what Garmin advises.

still no luck

Try just using Windows to copy the file to the Colorado "drive". If it doesn't work, you can be sure there is something wrong with the GPS or the driver. If it does work, the problem is your GSAK setup. Assuming nothing changed in GSAK, be sure to check your Garmin driver. It is possible that it got corrupted somewhere along the way.

I downloaded a macro along the way that figures out where to send the file on the oregon and does it .. will try to find that linky again.
