Why is that so? The right cable is a purely passive cable, the logic is in the radio. If you now see any USB device related to your radio, you have the wrong cable.

Go to Applications -> Utilities -> System Information.

the radio is NOT connected to the cable) and plug the USB cable into your Macbook. To find out whether you got the right cable do the following: Reportedly, a batch of the radios had been shipped with the wrong cable a month earlier. When I first wrote in several web forums telling about my problems with the data cable and USB drivers, I got a reply that my Tytera MD 390 probably came with the wrong cable.

In addition, we will upgrade the firmware of the MD380 or MD390 GPS.Then we will upload this codeplug via a Linux virtual machine.We will be using Tytera’s original CPS software to program the codeplug and setup the channels, contacts and all settings for the radio.Therefore had to find a workaround solution:

I recently received my Tytera MD390 in the mail straight from Shenzhen, China. I am using a Macbook with Mac OS and that makes it challenging to get Tyteras programming software CPS to run, which is a Windows application.Īt first I thought I could simply install Windows 10 on a virtual machine on my Macbook and just upgrade the firmware and upload the codeplug from there.

The challenge: Tytera data cable and USB driver problems Please note that this guide is based on my personal tests with the TYT MD390 GPS and comes with absolutely no warranty. This guide should work with the following radios with or without GPS:Īlthough the focus is on Mac OS, thanks to VirtualBox it should also work on Linux.

Much better than trying it out on the trail.In this article I share how you can upgrade the firmware and also upload a codeplug to the Tytera MD380/MD390 on Mac OS (or Linux) with VirtualBox. Mark Waypoint and then go find them later. The best way to learn your GPS is to use it, use it to go to the grocery, then use it to backtrack home. This just means I have the best version of my actual track stored. It still shows you where you have been but if you plan to share that track later its sort of a low res version. If you upload them to TOPO they lose most of the data, not all the waypoints are kept. When I return I upload my Track logs to Mapsource. Then I print the maps I made with the waypoints, routes, notes on them on my large format printer and take it with me.

Then I download the waypoints and routes from TOPO to my GPS. Then I download the map section I want in Mapsource to my GPS.

I generally plot and plan and make waypoints and routes in TOPO!. Since Mapsource resolution is not really good enough to do real trip planning I do that in Nat Geo TOPO!.

In fact the improvements to Mapsource have been minimal enough it would not matter to me if it was 5 years old. It based on Topography so the good news is that doesn't change much. Just because the Mapource version is a few years old does no make it bad. Mapsource is only 1:100000 resolution except for some for the national park components which are sold separately. Lots of other products will allow you to transfer waypoints, tracks, routes etc.īUT only Mapsource will allow you to download an actual map. I have MAC and run it under VMware fusion. The only software that will download a map to your Garmin is Garmins Mapsource.
