Words of advise.
I trolled the net to find some simple advise.
If you have a foretrex 201. Make sure the serial cable is plugged completely in to the adaptor/connector that is attached to the unit. There should not be any silver showing on the plug. It's a tight fit and you do need to use some moderate force.
Then buy a mac.
Then plug the cable into any usb adaptor and connect to google earth. Select tools GPS and select garmin.
Your tracks waypoints and routes are there and done.
