|
|
Hi guys,
Very hassled, have looked everywhere, but cannot find a solution and I think it may be a simple error I am making?
I have a Nuvi 360 and have gone onto the Gamin unlock site and used my second unlockfor my partners Nuvi 310 so I can put the european maps on the unit.
The problem is I keep getting an error uploading from Mpasource.
I highlight the maps, then click transfer to device, it locates the Nuvi, maps has a tick in the box. I have an empty 1gn sd card in the unit.
When I click send I get an error message saying "There was a problem communicating with the garmin device"
Any ideas? |

Firstly, is the card formatted? I would try putting a small mp3 file on the SD card and see if the Nuvi can play the music - which would imply it's happy with the card.
I would also suggest you try the card in an SD card reader directly on your PC - this is likely to be a much faster map transfer, so well worth it for speed alone, and it may well fix your problem.
Can Mapsource download, say, favourites from the Nuvi - this would confirm you don't have a generic USB / driver type problem...? _________________ Please don't be offended if I do not reply to a PM - please ask questions via the forums. |

I have managed to load all the maps to the sd card (which was formatted)
But when I put it in the Nuvi nothing happens? (It burns as a img file) I have turned the Nuvi 310 on and off, but no change, on the map section it just shows UK & Europe
If I try and download anything from the Nuvi to the PC it does not work either? |

It would certainly appear the problem is PC related.
Have you got the latest MapSource version installed? Have you got the latest USB driver from Garmin installed? _________________ Please don't be offended if I do not reply to a PM - please ask questions via the forums. |
