 Garmin PC connection problem - Focusless
My Garmin 205 connects happily with the PC for software updates - I updated it earlier today - but not for maps. On the Garmin Map Updates web page the spinning icon thing indicating it's trying to connect just keeps spinning. Any ideas?

To clarify - it's a Garmin satnav. Software updates are performed using a downloadable application (works); map updates are performed through the browser and a plug-in which you have to download (doesn't work). I've tried Firefox and IE.

I've experienced something similar trying to update my colorado - I'd uninstall and reinstall the latest Garmin Communicator software onto your PC if that's what it uses to updates the maps

It uses the browser and a plugin which I had just downloaded for FF and IE, so I don't think it's that.

Mmm... just remembered that Adblocker has caused at least one issue in the past; will try disabling that (and check the above). Ta.

Mind you, the time mine takes to download and update maps, it's a safer bet to download them onto the pc and update from there.
