I'm having a similar problem with my GPS unit. I have an eTrex Legend (the one with the clear blue case, I know, I really should upgrade, but they take abuse so well) and I need to upgrade the firmware to take care of the WAAS bug problem. I downloaded the Garmin USB driver package and started it up. I got to the point where you turn on the unit, then plug it in and wait for windows to see it. The "New Hardware Wizard" popped up and Garmin tells you to just make it proceed with the "automatic" search and install option. But then, for me, that option doesn't work. Windows just tells me that it couldn't install the device, and the Garmin package tells me it couldn't complete. I have the unit on and the data exchange setup to "GARMIN" like the instructions say. No dice. Any ideas?

Well, I'm using it with a third-party app for Linux but I'm going to try and install it on a PC and connect it with that. Probably Wine isn't working properly. I'll try it this evening and post the results. Really the only problem was that it wouldn't see the device.

I bought a Garmin ETrex Legend (the one in the blue translucent case) from a friend of mine who got it from Ebay and decided he didn't want it anymore. I have been experiencing a problem with the unit glitching out and have been told that I need to upgrade the firmware to solve the problem. The problem with that is that I need a data cable for that and the one my friend got with the unit is the USB cable. Apparently this cord with not work with the Legend and I need the 9-pin parallel cable. I'm looking the see if anyone would be willing to trade me cable for cable as the USB one is useless to me. Please comment and let me know if you can help me. Thanks alot. --Dreams
