You can download necessary software from a pc. I have an Apple, was not able to solve the problem! Item was to inexpensive to loose sleep over, When I have time I'll use someone's PC for the downloads! I was not happy with this deal.

You must have the same Garmin 12 that I have. The Garmin web site will have a down load which migith help.

Your computer O/S will recognize that the USB cord has been plugged in, so very probable the driver is for the Garmin. Sorry can't be positive. I purchased this not as a data cable but to enable me to use a 12 v plug for power on a boat. The Garmin chartplotting GPS eats AA's.

Download the software from the Garmin. It should automatically see your GPS and download what you need for an update.

No drivers are needed, garmin to computer will work, however the prigram you us must be about to work with Garmin.

The same thing happened to me. I actually called Garmin about this and was told by one of their "technical" people that the receivers can actually wear out and will no longer function. Since the cord also serves as the "power cord" for the unit itself, the GPS will continue to work just fine. You can do a couple of things to remedy the problem: 1) buy a whole new GPS, which Garmin would LOVE you to do, or 2) you can buy a replacement cord/receiver from Garmin ($59.99) or any of a number of vendors on Amazon. I purchased a used one from a vendor and it is working just fine! Hope this helps ... The same thing happened to me.

I honestly don't recall, but I am using my USB cord that is simply a standard one. I use the same USB cord to charge my phone, MP3 Players etc. Nothing special. I even used a simple standard USB cord to charge this GPS and also update the maps. So , just in case yours does not come with one, you can find them virtually anywhere, ie, 7 Eleven, Walmart, Amazon, Kmart, Sears, eBay etc. Please let me know if you need more help. By the way. the GPS I got is GREAT for the price. Very surprised and the battery life and performance for the price. Enjoy.

I would suggest a couple of things. Check for power. Check that you are receiving a satellite signal. Do you have Garmin Express loaded on your computer? Are you connecting to your computer correctly with USB cable? If you are still having trouble, go to garmin.com, register the unit, and contact support. It's just a phone call away:)

That's a real bummer, Christophe. Have you tried rebooting? You do this by sliding the on/off switch to the on position and holding it there for 15 to 20 seconds. If that fails, then it's off to Garmin. I wish you the best of luck.

Garmin sells a 5 meter cable for the Dash Cam but it is pricey at $35:http://g.factoryoutletstore.com/details/17541-96883/garmin-010-12114-02.html

You can do a web search for the drivers and download them. Other option, find somebody with a cd reader and email you the files.

I would suggest cleaning the socket and the ball joint and allowing them to dry fully to make sure there isn't dirt or grease in there causing a problem. My connection worked great since the beginning and still works well so it might be a compatibility issue between your particular Garmin unit or perhaps its a defect from the manufacturer.

I bought a used garmin and a cable later. They did hook up after I loaded Picasa (sp?) however either my device was too old or I was not the original purchaser and could not up date my device. But I might be wrong because I am an internet idiot. I am a writer. On SCRIBD I publish as SpecialDad.

Same thing here. After their troubleshooting instructions (or anything I could find online) didn't work, they suggested that their crappy firmware update just "brought out some pre-existing hardware fault," and then wanted $75 to fix it. No, thank you.Don't buy a Garmin, they will just try to explain away their own mistakes.

That's a good question... the seller I bought mine from doesn't exist anymore. The current Amazon seller is IWINW, maybe they have an online website you can download from. Most of the reviews I've read are negative, but mine works fine. The trick is getting it started correctly out of the box, the programs are there... you just need to find the right start-up file and then it will start-up correctly every time after that. It is made in another country and it doesn't work like any of the standard brand GPS units... Magellan, Garmin, TomTom,...

You need a USB cable to connect your Garmin to your computer. Then go to Garmin.com. It will recognize your Garmin, follow the instructions. You can get a USB cable at Best Buy or similar stores. Take you Garmin with you so they can sell you the correct cable.

This comes with a mini and a micro usb that connects to a wall outlet with a standard usb. If you gave a mini or a micro slot on your Garmin, I should work.

There was no adapter, only the disk. It was what I needed to update my Garmin GPS.

Shouldn't be a problem with a USB extension cord if it's just "straight through" USB. I never tried an external GPS.

When my RoadMate died, I tried everything without success until finally contacted Magellan customer service. They offered involved factory reset procedure which must be followed exactly whereby their special file is downloaded, unzipped to micro SD card, -which worked for me. My Magellan GPS is now working but am not sureabout trusting it, -find myself feeling more like reusing old Tom Tom and keeping an eye out for a great sale on a Garmin.

I got one with mine. It's not very elaborate, pretty small, and easily fits in my golf bag. Did you buy a new unit or reconditioned one? I'm sure Garmin would send you one or if you contact their website it might be available for download and printing.
