I have been notified of a problem with my OCX where getting datetime
form the GPS fails. I checked into it and noticed that getting position
also fails.

I set up a test program using the sample code found on Garmin's website.
This code is also experiencing a similar problem.

The USB packet is supposed to have a 14 (hex) 20 (decimal) as the first
byte of the packet. Periodically, this byte is dropped. It may take
50000+ iterations but it will fail eventually. Has anyone else seen
this behavior?

It seems like this might actually be a problem with the USB driver or GPS.


I have seen the problem, so far with the GPS 18 and GPSMap 76C

I also have problem with my old Garmin GPS II Pilot and unable
to do the update ...even if it was prepaid. Then Garmin is now
on my blacklist ;-(

Our issues have nothing in common. The GPS II is serial. My issue is
with the Garmin USB protocol.
