How about using Active Sync which is provided with the unit on CD. This worked fine for me.

I tried that first, didn't think I needed to state the obvious. thought it was an issue with the disc but no.

Activesync worked first time for me.. you didn't plug the GPS into the PC first did you? I've got Activesync on another PC (for my Windows mobile 5 phone) and it worked first time also.

Just use the version on the CD, don't download a new one or it might be the wrong version.

Sounds daft i know but have you switched the satnav on before you plug it in to the computer?

in connection settings, the usb setting goes from connected to usb is available and back like a slow pulse???? tried 3 diff cables and this is on 2 pcs, all cables are working and usb ports and sat nav is on.

If you experience issues with device to PC connectivity, please upgrade to Activesync 4.5.

Where does it appear in the device manager? Under USB?

If I attach and disconnect my 205 it changes nothing under the device manager, but I do get a green light on the 205 so power is getting there.

I would expect something to change as it is a dynamic list.

I did a hard reset and got connected
