Does anyone know the correct format to go from GPS Babel (Google Earth Source) to a Garmin 73DV. I know it is suppose to be GPX, however it tells me no data is there to merge on the Garmin side. I use the same Google Earth source file to my Lowrance and it works perfectly.

Garmin handles either .gpx or .adm. ADM is the proprietary file format. Go into the unit menu at User Data, Data Transfer, File Type. In your case, select .gpx. The default setting is .adm, and with it set to this, the unit is only looking for an .adm file on your SD card.
