I just picked up this GPS. When I connect it to my computer to update the software and maps the Garmin Express software tells me that no GPS unit is detected and to try again. I've done this 10 or 12 times without the computer seeing the GPS...
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Is your computer recognizing that it is attached? Go to My Computer and look to see that the GPS is there as a drive with a drive letter. It may not say Garmin but just show a drive letter - that was not there before. Click on the drive letter and the internal files will be seen. Then you know that the USB connected the Garmin properly. Then start the software and see if it recognizes the Garmin.
I had problems with Garmin Express and went to the Garmin website - support -and found alternate software to do updates and new maps with. Be aware that just like any Garmin map updates can take hours.
