I tried the instructions and after a couple false starts, I got the wayopints, routes, and tracks copied over to the Montana.

I did end up with duplicates of anything that copied over on the Montana. I just deleted from the unit. There was probably a better way, but this is what I knew how to do and had plenty of time.

Thanks for the responses. I'll try this suggestion and report back later.

I am a new member. I have read and learned a lot on this site and now I have a question.

I have an older Etrex vista, which will not lock onto a sattelite, but will hook up and talk to Map Source via the old style slide coupler hooked up to a com port on my computer. I have a couple of routes and tracks on the vista that I want to transfer to....

My new Montana 600.

Here are the issues:
I cannot get the Etrex Vista to talk to Basecamp.
I cannot get Map Source to talk to the Montata. It does not appear to recognize the usb or serial port, only the com port.
I thought there was a way to force the Etrex into mass storage mode, but I do not see that in the owners manual. I was hoping to capture the gpx file and just copy it to the new Montana.

I also have a fully functioning Etrex Legend that has the same tracks and routes on it, a buddy has that one right now, but I suspect the same thing will happen to the Legend as has happened with the Vista in trying to transfer these routes and tracks.

I also have a CD with something called Trip and Waypoint manager that I have never used it. Not sure if that would help transfer the routes and tracks either.

Any ideas, and thanks in advance for your help.
