    We have a class using MapPoint as a business tool and we are trying to upload mappoints to this program from a GPSMAP76 unit but without success. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I have no experience with $MapPoint$ but I do recall that when transferring data between a Garmin unit & other Microsoft programs, the GPS serial data format had to be set to NMEA. This setting should be found in the Garmin setup menu.

    When I had looked at the settings the first time, all that showed was Garmin because I had not toggled down. There it was- NMEA – and once chosen the program worked like a charm. I do thank you because you pointed out what I needed to change. The MapPoint manual was not even close to that suggestion.
