+swala Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 OK, I'll try to summarize problems I've had for the past few months. I have a 60 CS and use GSAK have been doing well without problems for over a year. I put in a USB 2.0 card and the next time I tried to load waypoints into the 60 CS it didn't work. I got an error message "Label 1, then error sending waypoints, error sending 12 bytes, 0 successfully sent." The 2.0 USB port works fine with other devices as do the old USB ports. I have tried the 60 CS in all the ports. Next I uninstalled and reinstalled all the USB ports and it worked! Mistakenly I thought all was well. A few weeks later I went to update my caches and it gave the same error messages. Again I uninstalled and reinstalled all the ports, but this time it didn't work. I kept doing it and on maybe the 3rd uninstall/reinstall it worked. Guess what? now it doesn't work again. It does not seem to be a problem with GSAK, because if I go to mapsource and 'get unit ID' it does not recognize the device. I called Garmin and after 2 hours of holding and trying a couple things they suggested updating the software version in the unit. I was able to do that on a friends computer and now have the most recent version and it still doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! My nephews are coming down to visit next week and we always go caching!! Quote Link to comment
ImpalaBob Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Many devices have problems with hubs and add on ports. Plug them into the motherboard socket and they work just fine. Have you updated the drivers for the unit with the latest free offering from Garmin? ImpalaBob Quote Link to comment
+Timpat Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Sounds like you've done this already, but take a look at this USB thread. I had the same recurring problem with it working then not working. I found I caused it by trying to connect my 60C (and 60Cx) to a couple of 3rd party software apps it didn't like. Once I updated firmware/software/drivers and stayed away from the problem apps all has been well. Quote Link to comment
+swala Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions. Impala Bob, sorry for my ignorance, but I'm not sure what the motherboard socket is. I've tried plugging in to every USB socket available both on the front as well as the back of the computer; the original ports and the two 2.0 ports I added on. I have updated the drivers and the firmware with the most recent from the Garmin site. I didn't see anything called a software update. I tried it today on a friend's computer who uses a different garmin gpsr and it was recognized immediately. Thanks again...... Quote Link to comment
ImpalaBob Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 By "motherboard sockets", I was refering to those sockets that come attached to the computer versus those that you added on. Sounds like you tried them all. Are you using any kind of hotsync manager that may be causing a conflict? Also ... try a different USB cable ... as I've seen similar problems occur with cheap USB cables. 2.0 is a much higher transfer rate and some cheap older cables will not handle it.
