All I want to do is be able to download waypoints from my computer
into my Volkslogger - I used to do this with a now-obsolete Compaq
3835 - not to use in flight - just to put in waypoints. I am quite
happy using just a VL in flight.

Well, someone suggested Seeyou so I bought it. I spent HOURS trying to
figure out the out-of-date Help file and still am confused. The Forums
were just as bad. The program appears to be very (likely excessively)
complex for those who want to compete or like flight computers. I
definitely do neither. Then, suspicioning that if the problems I was
having with just the Seeyou waypoints would be worse loading onto the
VL, I suddenly thought...and right I was. A "help" search turned up
nothing at all for Volkslogger. I am asking for my money back from
Seeyou. Yes, if a user is already skilled in the use of these gadgets
and in-flight computers this Seeyou may be ok, but for a newbie?
Absolutely pitiful.

Can any kind person help? Surely it cannot be that complex to load a
datebase of TPs into a laptop and select some to download into a VL
flight... or can it?

I used the free "Volkslogger Manager" program from the manufacturer,
available athttp://www.garrecht.com/index.php/en/support/download/14-software.
It's simpler - really upload/download only. *I have since moved to
StrePla.

I agree the usb to serial and com port settings are the key. I use a
keyspan converter, and it's very reliable.

That's a step by step using "SeeYou".
