Upload Data To Unit - Garmin PC150 Owner's Manual

The PCX5 software will only record to the selected almanac file satellites
which are operational in the GPS constellation.

6.3 UPLOAD DATA TO UNIT

This option will upload an ASCII file of waypoint, proximity waypoint, route,
track log or almanac data from the PC to a GPS unit. The upload file must
be in the proper format. You may use a file previously created during a
waypoint, route, track or almanac download (refer to Section 6.2), or you may
use a file which you have created using the waypoint or route editor (see
Chapter 5).
Prior to beginning the Upload operation, the proper COM port must be
selected from the Comm | Comm Port Menu (see Section 6.5 or Chapter 11
for the GPS 150) and the input/output selection on the Interface Setup page
of the GPS unit must be set to "GARMIN/GARMIN" and "HOST" mode.
Existing waypoint, proximity waypoint, route and track log data in the unit will
be updated with the new information from the PC. Uploaded waypoint,
proximity waypoint, route and track log data are appended to the data
currently in the unit; except when data exists in the unit with the same
identifier (waypoint name or route number), in which case the original
unit data is overwritten.
