+sweet yet evil Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I have just gotten my Magellan 210 and my computer keeps telling me that the UBS device is malfunctioning. Has anyone else had this problem? I am using windows XP and the magellan website says that it is compatable but I cannot get the Geocaching program to work nor will it even detect the device. Does anyone have any ideas on this problem?! Thanks!!! Quote
+Evshro & son Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I have had this problem before and I believe it could be a couple things. First, I think that there was something about making sure the USB cable, when attached to the GPS and PC, should be as straight as possible. Second, the cord could go bad as mine did. I bought one on ebay for an inexpensive price. Good luck! Quote
+letmein Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 The most common problem is that the cable must run down (not up) the back of the unit. Rotate the cable 180 degrees and try again. Quote
