What computer is it? Mine worked fine and actually installs the garmin software. Are you administrator on your PC? You might also try and instal the garmin software first. Download it from the garmin website. Good luck.

go to Garmin.com and download the driver necessary to make the connection. This way you can get updates, etc.

Any computer should be able to detect a new device using a USB connection. However the necessary drivers and information is at the garmin website. The fact that it is charging means your computer knows it is there.

Yes, I have attempted several times to make it work, but it just won't. I have also tried with an older iPod touch and it still doesn't work. The battery keeps the ipod charged, but no go on the gps, which is why I bought it. If anyone can help me, Id appreciate it!

Thanks for your suggestions, Bubba. I did try to charge it from my computer as well without success. I've had the iPod for a little over a year and probably didn't use it enough. The functionality of a GPS would have increased its usefulness to me immensely, but adding the cost of a battery replacement to this cradle makes this a rather expensive move. To be sure, I'll follow your tip and try a different cable, but I'm not overly optimistic at this point.Edit: The USB cable *was* the culprit. Got a new one today and just ordered my GPS cradle...

I got the new power cord and it's worked perfectly. And it gets abused. Yours is defective or your GPS has a short

If you are using the GPS when driving, then you are likely plugging it into the auxiliary thingy in the car. You can also plug it in to your computer, as others mentioned. If you don't use the GPS for a while, you may wind up with a low battery and it will take a few minutes to charge. Meanwhile the screen will not be fully lit - your GPS is working fine, and it will brighten up as it acquires its charge.

i dont know but with my old GPS II+ works perfectly!, i just installed the driver USB to serial contained in cd. Set the Interface GPS Garmin II+ to GRMN/GRMN. In my case i used Mapsource & all is ok.

My GPS came with a cigarette lighter charger.I also bought a usb cable to attach to my computer for map updates and it will also charge it.

I have a different model Nuvi. If your model is listed then I am sure it will work as well. As far as the ****** PC mode, I found that I had to connect the NUVI to my computer with a USB connector. I then had to let it run its course and give me an opportunity to sign off and disconnect. Once I did that then the GPS no longer was searching for a PC connection whenever anything was plugged into its USB port. Good luck.

Thanks, I had already ordered this gps, and didnt see what it had with it.. I wanted to know if it had a vehicle power cable or just a USB cord or something... I'm glad it has the vehicle power cable!

You should also have a connection on the side of your Garmin! We have an older Garmin and we have the extra spot on ours to plug it in.

I had to double check all my wiring connections from the camera to the transmitter. I've also learned that the camera jack has to be COMPLETELY plugged into the GPS to work. Hope that helps.Happy Thanksgiving!

I used a Samsung SGH-A437. It took me 2 days trying to synch the phone with Nuvi and just now it finally paired. I realised both the phone and the unit would be paired faster if they are fully charged or both connected to AC charger! Then I found out "No data available. note: not all phones support this feature." Now I don't know if I should return it!! I bought the GPS for bluetooth usage!!!!

I am having the same problem. It won't show up on my control panel and the computer won't detect it as a hardware device. I have some pretty important stuff on it too. I don't suppose you found out how to make it work since you posted this comment?

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

pretty sure u need an internet connection to download the maps, since they arent preloaded. but after they are, gps should work offline
