Before we start

Some GPSes require drivers. This is especially true for GPSes with USB connections. Please make sure that your GPS is recognized by Windows and that the drivers are installed. For more instructions, read Installing the GPS.

It is also important that you have configured the track 'n share client to communicate with your GPS. This is done in the settings screen. Please refer to Entering the settings for more information.

Open the "From GPS" screen

The "From GPS" screen is opened by pressing the button "From GPS" in the wizard. If the button is greyed out, press the "Reset Wizard" button first. This button closes all open screens and returns the wizard to step 1. When you open the screen, you will see two buttons, start and cancel. Turn on the GPS and press the start button. The client will now start to download the tracks from the GPS. This can take a few minutes, especially if you have large tracks. After all tracks are received, the screen will automitcally close and the track editor screen is opened.

No communication?

Sometimes, GPS communication is not properly established. This can happen if the GPS is not properly installed (see Installing the GPS) or the GPS is not found (did you turn it on?) or the settings in track 'n share are wrong. When you first encounter this problem, it might help to wait a few seconds and try again. If ht problem persists and you need additional help, please post a message on the support forum.
