I have had the same problem. I have reversed the cable on the back of my explorist 210; cleaned the contacts with a pencil eraser; tried different USG ports; uninstalled and reinstalled the software; and even installed the software on a different computer. NO LUCK. The Windows messages continues to say that the USB device is malfunctioning (both computers): and the Magellan software says it can't make contact with the device. I am past begining to think the Magellan product is JUNK.

I've downloaded geocaching points before, but suddenly now my computer gives me a "doesn't recognize the USB device" when I plug it in. I have the cord connected with the wire down on the GPS, and I've tried it with it up, to make sure that's not it. What am I doing wrong now?
