Hi all,
The computer I was using at work to download my GPS data with Realspeed crashed.
I am now attempting to do it from our laptop at home. I spoke to Mal and I am now trying to download Realspeed.
When attempting to download the Garmin version it asks me to run the program.
I do and it asks me to unzip the file.
I get the following message......
"Cant create output file:C:ProgramFilesRealSpeed1.928GPSTCGMNGPSBabel.dll"
Im so confused
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks
Larko.

Hi Larko, I hope I got what you said right.

When trying to download, select save and not run, save to desktop, when downloaded to your laptop just click on it and it'll self extract

Cheers,
Bob.

Edit, either that or PM me your email and I'll send it

Guys, I have tested this again just now and it seems to be working OK. So just try the following procedure to see how it works for you.

Click the "GPS TC GMN.exe" on the intallation page of my website.
Select "Save" and save the zip file to to your desktop.
Double click the "GPS TC GMN.exe" file on your desktop. Winzip extractor will run.
Click Browse and select the folder you wish to save the installation to. Choose something like "c:Program FilesRealSpeed 1.928" or "c:Program FilesRealSpeed 1.928GPS TC GMN" (the default). Hit OK.
Now click "Unzip' to extract all the files to the folder, and click Close to close the Winzip Extractor.
In your File Explorer navigate to the folder and run RSpeed.exe to ensure it runs OK.

If you want a link to this version of RealSpeed on your desktop then just right click on your desktop and select New/Shortcut. Then browse to the folder you extracted the files to and select RSpeed.exe. Hit Ok and thats it.
