GeoAgro GIS is not being able to export successfully to my GPS device. What do I do?
From Wikiagro.com
The GPS module in GeoAgro GIS enables you to upload points developed in the GIS module to your GPS device. It currently supports devices from Garmin, Magellan and any GPS that supports transmission via the NMEA protocol.
If your GPS is not a Garmin or a Magellan, check in your device manual if transmission via NMEA is available, and how to enable it. Please, enable it and try again.
If it still doesn't work, follow the steps below to export your points from the GIS module without using the GPS module.
