freeday Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Had the same problem. Reason: gps was plugged but still had no contact. plug the gps complete until block. I think you can plug it 1/2 to 1 millimeter more!! Quote Link to comment

freeday Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Did you install nRoute? I had the problem after installing nRoute. Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I seem to recall an thread that the new X series uses a different protocol and until an update to E-GPS is done you need to use the serial port for transfer. Quote Link to comment

Team "Trail Bugz" Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Don't know if this will help or not, but I had trouble with mine not recognizing once also. I ended up removing the memory card and replacing it. Although I had not touched it prior to this, and it appeared securely locked in, after removing and putting it back in, all was fine. That was a couple weeks ago, and I haven't had any problems since. Worth a try. Good luck. HD1 Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 City Navigator is the Garmin product. It will work because the new protocol is being used. Quote Link to comment
+Team Duckit Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Took the card out put it back in still nothing Quote Link to comment
Team "Trail Bugz" Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Duckit..Another thought - make sure your PC USB port is still working properly. I have one that will not work at all, it just quit one day. The other ones work fine. I am far from computer literacy, but it is worth checking I guess. HD1 Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Man, I hate it when I speak and no one listens. The X models use a new protocol. Until this is implemented in the third party programs you won't be able to use EasyGPS or ExpertGPS to upload your waypoints. Check out GPSBabel's page concerning the protocol changes here http://www.gpsbabel.org/garminx.html Quote Link to comment
+Team Duckit Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 webscouter I down loaded from Easygps just two or three weeks ago, it all worked fine then but nothing know ????? Quote Link to comment
+Team Trail Walker Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) duckit, I had a similar thing happened to me. I installed the usb driver for my unit and all worked well. I then moved my usb cable to another port and my GPSr was no longer recognized. Strange! I reinstalled the usb driver with the unit plugged into the second port. All works well now. Try reinstalling the usb driver. Edited February 15, 2006 by Team Trail Walker Quote Link to comment
