+arabia Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 On my computer, I have installed version 4.0 of trip and waypint manager software; Garmin ommunicator plugin 4.0.1.0, which my computer says is the latest update; and Easy GPS software. When I click on the download button for a cache on the far right of the cache info line on the page that lists about 20 caches, I get the message that my GPS receiver can't be located. I have no idea what is wrong. This is my first try at paperless geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) A few questions: 1. What model of Garmin do you have? 2. Stupid question (just want to gather all relevant information): Is your GPS connected to your computer? 3. Does it show as being connected in mass storage mode? I assume you're running Windows based on your mention of EasyGPS. Edit: Whoops, totally missed the model of your GPS in the topic title. Sorry.

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Usually, when a computer cannot locate your unit, it is a connection problem. Try a different port. I hope it is a USB cord. Serial to USB adapters can be a similar problem -- that connection. I'm not familiar enough with a Summit to know which cord it uses. Also, could be a connection problem at the GPSr end plug.

+StarBrand Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 there is a Garmin USB driver that is needed for that model. See this page: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloadsUpdates.jsp?product=010-00633-00&cID=145&pID=8709 Quote Link to comment
