Now that the SLT resident retard has been silenced, let us continue with a sensible discussion. Once you have the ADM file working, maybe you need to think how to safely keep it and add marks at your leisure from the pc. Garmin Homport is no longer available or supported, which is a shame as you could use your charts with it, however I have a copy if you want it. Another alternative is to download Garmin Basecamp, which does the same thing but without the charts, you just enter the GPS co-ords, which plots as a mark. You can then save all the marks as a ADM file to a micro SD. To update the plotter, just plug in the card and when prompted, tap the ‘merge’ button. If you hit the replace from file button, then all your marks on the plotter will be duplicated ! Edited May 11, 2023 by GPSguru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF That might not be entirely true. Go to ‘view’ at the top of the screen and select ‘list’ and show ‘file extension’. That will then give the true file type. I am doing this from memory as I am on the school run for an hour or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
