+frenchtart Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I wonder if anyone can advise me. I have owned my Garmin Dakota 20 for the last 3-4 years. It has been playing up for a couple of months missing some caches that I have manually downloaded. Today I have plugged it into my laptop deleted all the caches I have stored, so that I can download another pocket query. It starts off ok with the picture on the gps screen of the gps linked to the computer but after a few seconds it vanishes and each time I try to down load it is giving an error message saying gps not attached!!

+frenchtart Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yes I have tried another cable and also tried my daughters desktop computer. The gps turns on ok when not connected to laptop/computer. Quote Link to comment
+frenchtart Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks for replying.How do I do a hard reset? Its not long ago since I updated to latest software, in fact the problems may have started then. Edited February 26, 2013 by frenchtart Quote Link to comment
+frenchtart Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Always best to do a hard reset after a software update. Save any waypoints, routes etc as they'll be deleted, then see here: https://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId={6c1afe20-b718-11de-6a18-000000000000} Quote Link to comment
+frenchtart Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thank you so much, it works now. I have managed to down load all my geocaches, so now I can go out. Thanks again Quote Link to comment

It's been running OK for the most part, but I have had some caches not showing up after being loaded. Quote Link to comment
