I am unable to send a
route to my
Garmin GPS 72 from my
Linux computer (Ubuntu 14.04,
OpenCPN 4.8.6). This used to
work just fine. It still works with Windows 10 running
OpenCPN 4.8.6, just as it should. I used the same cable, same USB adapter, same
GPS. I know I had a good connection between the GPS and OpenCPN on both
computers because both showed a good GPS position and both showed data flowing in the debugging window.
The transfer appears to complete on both
computers. The dialog box appears, the progress bar moves across the
screen. But the GPS never gets the
route from the
Linux machine. At the end of the transfer from the Windows machine the GPS reports "Transfer complete".
In both cases I used the
NMEA interface at 4800 bps for position data. I switched the GPS to
GARMIN mode before attempting to transfer the route.
