took out of package (partailly charge battery). tried to hook up usb adaptor with a/c adaptor to computer.would not state battery was charing.now battery is dead and will not charge.
I had the same problem with mine, the AC adapter fails really quickly. Try to go to Radio Shack and get the 3-12v switch able AC adapter that is 1 amp, and select the 4.5 volt setting. This setting is a whole .5 volts less than the one that comes with GPS, but its the Amps that matters. Make sure you get the correct plug with the adapter, I got the "B" plug and follow the directions that came with the adapter to match the right polarity, or you will fry your GPS. Also, the computer just supplies enough power to run the GPS, but not to charge it as long as you have the USB 2.0 ports.

I tried to update my magellan explorist 400 firmware. A sudden power interrupt forced my computer to interrupt the update. After that my GPS is allways turned on with a blank display. I have to move battery off to shut down the GPS. Please tell me what to do to fix it and see it working again.

My 3225 doesn't know where it is I went somewhere and when I put in home it didn't know where it was or even attempt to provide directions I think I read somewhere that if it is not shut off it stops working
