GT-200e ?

Thanks for your question.

Normally it should work, but the USB connection is a bit sensitive. Could you please try the steps outlined at https://answers.launchpad.net/igotu2gpx/+faq/714 and report whether they help?

Hi Michael,

thanks for your prompt reply. I am not sure if the command line
version is installed, I get this:

bikeham:~ stevenjackson$ IGOTU2GPX_WORKAROUND=enabled igotu2gpx -v info
-bash: igotu2gpx: command not found
bikeham:~ stevenjackson$

Cheers,

Steve

Normally, the use of IGOTU2GPX_WORKAROUND shouldn't be necessary (it is only if you get hangs, not connection errors). But it should be installed, in /Applications/igotu2gpx.app/Contents/MacOS or sth. similar.

These errors are caused by problems with the USB connection, and are quite hardware-specific (mostly caused by USB hubs), so stuff like
- connect the GPS tracker directly to a USB port of your PC, do not use a USB hub
- make sure that the blue LED of the GPS tracker is blinking continuously before you plug it in
- unplug the tracker, wait 2 seconds and plug it in again (this is often necessary after there were communication errors with the GPS tracker)
are the best I can come up with.

I plug it in, the red and blue lights are both on. I press the button
on the i-gotu and blue light flashes.

I run igotu2gpx and this is returned:

Serial number: 254239

I am plugging it in directly into my iMac running Snow Leopard.

I created a new bug for this, could you run it with "igotu2gpx -v" and add the output as an attachment to https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/igotu2gpx/+bug/442962?
