EXCHANGING DATA WITH A COMPUTER
To exchange GPS and watch setup data between the watch and your
computer, you must connect the watch’s Interface/Charger Unit to the
computer and mount the watch on the Interface/Charger Unit.
Important!
• Sending even one landmark, track point, or waypoint (route plan) from your
computer to the watch causes all of the landmarks, track points, or
waypoints (route plan) in watch memory to be deleted and replaced by the
data you send. If you need the data in watch memory, be sure to make a
backup copy before sending data from your computer to the watch.
• Never remove the watch from the Interface/Charger Unit while a data
communication operation is in progress. Doing so can corrupt the data in
watch memory.
• When preparing for data communication, be sure you put the watch into the
PC INTERFACE Mode before you mount it onto the Interface/Charger Unit.
Note
• Before you can perform data communication with a personal computer, you
must install the Watch Application bundled on the CD-ROM onto your
computer. See the documentation file on the CD-ROM for information about
how to install the Watch Application.
To connect the Interface/Charger Unit to a computer
Connect the Interface/Charger Unit to your computer using the serial cable
that comes with the watch.
• Plug the serial cable into the proper ports, making sure it is connected
securely. Proper operation is not possible if connections are not secure.
• When using the Interface/Charger Unit to connect to a computer, there is
no need to connect the AC Adaptor to the Interface/Charger Unit.
• When connecting to a computer, make sure the temperature is as close to
room temperature (around 23°C) as possible.

negative values. In such a case, the first
(leftmost) digit of the value becomes a
minus sign.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make all the
settings you want.
Measurement Unit Conversion
The watch uses the values to convert from the metric system to other units.
See “To specify the distance, speed, and altitude units” for information about
selecting units of measurement.
Distance
• 1 mi = 1.6093 km
• 1 NM = 1.852 km
Speed
• 1 mi/h = 1.6093 km/h
• 1 knot = 1.852 km/h
Altitude
• 1 ft = 0.3048 m
