According to the information from Garmin, etrex Legend is not compatible but the etrex Legend C came out after so I'm not certain if they mean all etrex Legend series or not. I checked to see if Basecamp is compatible with the etrex Legend C. I see the etrex in the devices folder but when I try to install maps Mapinstall is not able to find my device (seem's strange that Basecamp can find it but Mapinstall cannot.) I'm also having some troube with Basecamp and my old etrex. I discovered that Basecamp is the successor to Mapsource so I tried installing it. I'm not sure if software I installed since the last successful download could have destabilized Mapsource. I just tried downloading maps today with Mapsource and ran into troubles. A Google search turned up a Windows 7/8 driver that was reported to. I went back to my box of old accessories and did find a Belkin USB to serial adapter and an original Garmin brand etrex serial cord. I have a USB to serial cord that Ive used. If this completes successfully then you know that the serial communication works. Ive recently dug out my eTrex 'original' Legend, that uses a serial interface. ![]() ![]() In fact, I don't remember exactly the last time I downloaded maps to the device but it would have been using Mapsource. Another thing that you can do is download version 2.14 of the eTrex firmware, connect your GPS to the USB to serial adapter and run the 2.14 firmware update in your Windows virtual machine. As we're just coming out of winter, I haven't used my Etrex in several months.
