I am attatching the return e-mail from Garmin on how to fix this problem if it should arise on anyone elses computer. The e-mail replies returned after I called the company and the women went online and hooked up to my computer and fixed the problem. So I broke down and called and e-mailed Garmin.

I went and got new cables and drivers and that still did not work. Thanks, Kevin, Gary and Redhawk for your help with my pm's to all of you and posting it here. That's along the same line as what Kevin said. When checking your port settings on your cable, MapSource and the Updater programs will only recognize ports 1 through 8."

Garmin cables require specific drivers to be installed and they will show up in your Device Manager under "ports" as a Serial to USB Port Com “x”. If this is a Garmin cable, then you can use the CD that comes with the cable or contact Garmin Product Support for replacement drivers. Check with your cable vendor or manufacturer to ensure proper installation of your cable drivers. What brand or manufacturer of cable are you using? Each brand requires it’s own special setup or drivers in order to create the virtual communications port.
I am using a USB to Serial Converter Cable to connect my unit to my PC and still cannot connect. This is the content of the Faq on Garmins website I have 6 devices hooked up to usb and all are working fine. It may be that with XP using generic Microsoft USB Drivers they don't show up to Mapsource. I'm assuming that you are referring to Garmins Mapsource. There may be a bug because mine (which is the latest for both topo and metroguide) says there are no drivers installed, yet I just added a USB 2.0 card to the machine a short while ago and I have two usb 1.0 ports that are built onto the Motherboard.

Open Help - About Mapsource in the drop down menu and click on the "USB Driver Version" Button to see if Mapsource shows any USB Drivers installed. There's no default com number because, depending on what devices you have installed, it changes with each PC. I forget exactly how many you can have, but there's a lot of numbers available.Įither manually set the com port in control panel->device manager->communication ports and double clicking the device, or in the mapsource/Topo software just keep changing which com port the device is on until you finally find the right one. These ports are also referred to as communication ports, or "coms". You can change which of the available port numbers it will use. Once that's installed it will appear in control panel->device manager as a "port". Mine needed software from a disc, included with the usb/serial adapter. could this be my problem? My new computer did not come with that serial port.įirst thing is to ensure that any driver software included with the usb/serial adapter is loaded. I have the adapter that hooks it to a usb port. The last two I akm sure are ok but I do not have a seriel port. I tried to download a map from map source topo us and it comes up not hooked to serial port not set on garmin interface, or gps is not on. Garmin MapSource installer will not prompt that you don’t have existing Garmin MapSource anymore.I got a PM from a member having issues with a usb/serial port adapter and figure maybe we could ask the community for their input.
