Are you trying to upgrade the firmware for the GT-11, or upgrade the version of RealSpeed? Mal will send you a code to unlock most of RealSpeed's functionality - this code is not needed for upgrading the GPS unit. Also, what is this CD you speak of?
The latest firmware for the Navi, is available from the Locosys website; you probably dont want to use anything on CD, as it will get old quickly, ie: if you are intending on updating the firmware, you probably should upgrade it to the latest version, not an old version.
The GPS-download functionality within RealSpeed is _only_ for the Garmins -> dont use it for the Navi. Rather, simply "file->open" the data file directly from the SD card (ie: eject the card from the Navi, and put it in your card reader).
Also (my memory is a little blurry on this), I think the fact that RealSpeed says "device not connected" indicates that your version of RealSpeed already has the unlock code - without the code, you cannot even access the GPS-download functionality.
Hope this helps...

Cheers, Ok, so tonight I will try to open the files from my folder on my pc, Im sure that will be the same as opening a file from a card in a card reader.

Hey Mathew,
Some of that I acually understand
I can see the files .txt which is good so I am only trip, fall, stumble away from getting it all firing.
Thanks again and I will report how I went tomorrow, thats if the wife finisshes with the pc before midnight
Again your patience is appreciated.
Regards GT
Minto, the best way to read your speed files is to copy them from the card and onto your PC. Then open the .txt files directly in RealSpeed (once you get the unlock code)
The only time you need to connect your Navi to your PC is if you are doing a firmware update, and by the sound of it you dont need to do that at the moment.

So I appreciate all the help, eh Mino
even the fools are helpers
Did you guys hear that???
It was the penny dropping
Mal sent the lic number 
I followed Roo's guide and set the divisions, saved the txt files as gpx, opened google earth, opened one of the gpx files and there was my track on google earth, from home to work and me walking about outside
I am blown away with this gear and how it all works, I cant get over the fact that I basically have a couple of satellites at my disposal whenever I want.
Thanks guys for all your help
Cheers GT

G'day Mino,
Had ear marked today for study, but the pc decided that it needed Word and Outlook to fight with each other which stuffed my idea for study, other than that I only have a springy and I like being wet when it's hot.
I know how addictive chasing PB's can get but I got a lot of work to do around the house before the bub and the sailing season get here if I intend to get to sail this season.
I see that it was a pretty hard slog, well done to you and Propercarter for getting out there.
Cheers GT
And others have a steamer in their kit
was bloody cold but
Get a blast shield from Windwarrior, you wont need a steamer
And I couldn't work out how Elmo was able to get my speed data and compile it into a nice little file, that showed all I was looking for. However, after much hair pulling, I worked out what he meant by converting to G7toWin files. extracted G7toWin zip into same folder as my RSpeed and it and hay presto I got it.
