Havin some trouble gettin the device to communicate with garmin connect, it recognises the device but will not load information from device,
can anyone successfully used this device with garmin connect
It is an old device. When I connected my gpsMap 76 CSx to Garmin Express, it correctly identified it but politely told me it could not be used to do anything with it.
Were you able to upload activities from it with the old Garmin Connect/Garmin Communicator combination??
If you weren't, then if you want to upload to Garmin Connect you'll have to go through some extra steps and pains. One first step would be to see it you can get the tracks off the device with Garmin's Basecamp. Then you export that track as a .gpx or .tcx and import it into Garmin Connect. The 'import' link is on the activities list summary page of Garmin Connect in the top right corner. Garmin's MapSource might allow you to do the same thing, but I have not tried that.
I'm able to do that with my old gpsMap 76CSx so I expect you should be able to also. You might have to stop or close Garmin Express to allow basecamp to communicate with the device.
