Open NAVi link program, hook your GT-11 up to desk/lap top.
Start GT-11, scroll though to NAVILINK, click toggle, it will highlight its in this mode. Go to desktop and select COM port, and then tab the READ tab. It will download. You then need RSpeed to read the download.
You get stuck email it to me and I can read it for you.

ok thanks, I did what Nebbian said to do. Lots of gobbledygook. So now I need realspeed? Hang on a minute. I see I need to register to find my computers machine id number to get a registration id. What if my laptop is not on the net. Which it isn't, I can only access the net at work or at the library. And I am looking for another job so the work one is not an option.

Just a small question about rspeed, looking at the web site it says to pay 20 euros - is that just optional or necessary ? I know I sound like a cheapskate but after a new board and a GPS my wife is starting to get a bit edgy ! I only sail in the ocean on wave gear so the GPS was just for the fun of it and to see the tracks on google earth (I've only used it 4 times and top speed so far is only 33 K)

TIA

Thanks Firiebob, I was a bit embaressed to ask the RealSpeed people, I tried the trial version and it does seem quite good. I also have tried the gpsar program which has some neat features as well. The GT11 I bought does produce .kml files directly, which open in google earth and let me get the map of where I have been, which was one of the main things I wanted. Now all I need is some wind !
