This utility, (no longer found on the internet, thus no link) reads tracks from the etrex and transforms them into a long list of waypoints, readable by Turbo4. Not the best nor most elegant solution, but workable for those determined to stay with Turbo CD 4.

Usage:

  • Download the tracks2turbo utility and unzip to any directory.
  • On the etrex: Set com protocol to GRMN/GRMN
  • On the program (these are saved and need to be set only once):
    • set GPS to Garmin
    • Set COM port
    • Set the filename to save the track
    • Click Save button
  • On TurboCD:
    • Set file type to LAT/LON WGS84
    • Read Nav file and choose the filename set above
    • In the likely case
