The file is actually called

Code: Select all

.Position.gpx

so it may not be visible for you because Windows by default hides files starting with a dot.

All Garmin handheld GPSr have a ".Position.gpx" file in the Garmin directory. This file is hidden by default on most devices, so you will need to enable hidden files to be displayed on your host machine before you will see it.

May I ask why you want to see this file? It is of little or no use for us.

Because my 65 has it and just wondered if it affects accuracy in anyway not being there? As my 67 doesn't go to 6 feet accuracy as quick as my 65 does when in both in the same place.

Do you use a Mac, our has a Mac ever been connected to your device?

No, Windows only.

Hi, I plugged my 67 into my Samsung Chromebook and it shows the position file. My windows wouldn't show it even though I have the "hidden items" check box ticked to show hidden items. The windows shows it on my 65s. I can't plug the 65 into the chromebook as the chromebook doesn't pick it up like the 67. So it is there pheww.
