Is there a simple way to do this apart from 5 nights and a carton of beer manually installing them?

cheers

I use it and it's excellent. You can download a trial version.

1. How does GPSU connect/download data from the Navman?

I can only reflect on my experience:

I have transferred from Garmin to Furuno, Navman to Furuno, and Furuno to Humminbird. It requires the base file from the origin machine, in my case using a memory card, and it converts that to the target format, which you then transfer to the target machine.

The list of converters supplied appears to be pretty exhaustive.

Works a treat, thus far...

Cheers,

Tim

Tim i think satnav has a point
Depending on what model Navman is being used.
If the Navman is running a Cmap then you need the approiate C Map card reader.
I believe the latter model unit run an Sd card which is not a problem using GPSU
and a standard card reader!!
p.s Jake is saving up for Boston Whaler 255 ;D

Thanks Timiboy,
I had the older one which I have a blank c map that downloads the whole GPS, it seems to need a special reader to install on the computer, Garmin runs off a standard sd card. 2000 weighpoints will take some time.
Will load in by hand over a few beers

cheers
