Nuvi 205W Part 2

[muurali]

Hi all, is the usb cable that came with the 205W different from the normal usb cable?
I can't seem to get connected to my PC.
It displays the error "USB cannot be recognized".
Please help, thanks in advance

Try changing USB cable.

Do not plug through external USB port extender, Plug direct into PC/Lappy port.

Use different USB port

What version Windows you using ? 98 upwards should be plug and play.

Hi silverbeauty,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I tried 3 different USB cables, I plugged in directly to my PC.
I tried various USB ports.
I'm using 64bit Windows 7 RC1, I wonder if it's because of the incompatibility with Windows 7?

I had the same problem b4, but when i changed my usb cable to the one which similar to the gps charger where there is a round bulky thing on the cable, it works...so bro why don't u try to use this kind of cable....

I do not have Win7 in my lappy so cannot comment.
Suggest you try in a PC with Vista / XP and see if it works.

Bro can help me see your usb cable, the mini usb side, can help me see if there's 2 pins inside?
The included car charge one has 2 pins inside and all the usb cables i tried dont have it.

Is there anyway to update the maps from the SD card?
Tried putting the latest map in a sd card but my 205W doesnt seem to detect it.

Is the map in the .../garmin/... folder in the SD card?
