Etrex Legend not connecting to PC

Hi,

 

I just bought an etrex legend and I am trying to connect it to the computer so I can update the firmware and activate the waas before I get the known issue with the old firmware. I go to interface but I can't highlight the Serial Data format. I tried restoring default options but nothing happened. Am I missing something here?

Ecologito, I don't mean to sound insulting, but did you install the driver for the USB adapters you tried? Since they are a USB device, you have to install the driver BEFORE plugging in the adapter.

 

About adapters. If you have a choice of chipsets, the FTDI chipset seems to work a little better than the more common Prolific 2303 chipset.

 

I use a FTDI-based USB adapter with my old blue Legend all the time. Works fine.
