Garmin Nuvi 2557LMT problems with Win7
When I travel, I store each campsite in my GPS. Last year I traveled with my 2557 and an XP laptop. No problem connecting to my 2557 and reading the updated waypoints daily. This year I have a Win7 64 bit Pro laptop. I initially found that it wouldn't recognize the GPS unless I rebooted the laptop then connected the GPS. Now I reboot 2 or 3 times and it still doesn't recognize the GPS. @#$%^&*!!
The GPS display shows the "USB screen", but the laptop doesn't show the GPS as a connected "portable device".
I emailed Garmin support and they sent me the usual boilerplate "check this, check that" reply. Nothing fixed the problem. This a.m. I downloaded the latest USB drivers from the Garmin site, but still have the problem.
Anybody else using a Garmin 2557 (or similar) with Win7?
Thanks,
