Hello Des I´m also using GPSmap62 This GPS gives me trouble downloading and uploading via QGIS... So this is how I do:
Use Explorer to find your Garmin Unit Click on GPX Find the GPX file Waypoints_dd_mm_yy.gpx Copy the file to your disk. >From QGIS Click on Plugin>GPS>GPS Tool Choose Load GPX file Your waypoints will be loaded in the mapwindow. For adding extra coloums, you have to save the GPX as a Shapefile. RightClick on the file in Layers Change CRS RightClick on the waypoint-layer and remove Add Vectorlayer Open Attribut table Toggel Editing Mode (Ctrl E) New Column (Ctrl W) Regards Lene Fischer Ass.

I wonder if anyone can help me with a query. I have a hand-held Garmin GPSMAP 62s GPS with which I collect waypoints while out in the field, stored in a *.gpx file. Within QGIS I wish to: Import the gpx file and have the waypoints plotted as points within the BNG projection (EPSG:27700), each labelled according to their individual ‘wpt’ tag held within the gpx file. Create a new column within the table created from the gpx file and populate this with the OS Grid Reference for each waypoint (e.g. SD4568798345). Add a Google Earth layer as background Any help with achieving this would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Best wishes, Des ﾭ
