OK, I just got a set of waypoints downloaded successfully from a Magellan eXplorist 300, using the third party data cable from Hong Kong.
I have no idea why it finally worked; I've tried a couple of dozen times over 18 hours, had the Mac freeze repeatedly (had to power cycle it several times); had to rebuild the directory each time.
Somehow, now, I've got a file on the computer.
Registration paid, I'll hang on and keep you posted. pointer welcome if there's abetter topic for this feedbacl
