Try a different cable, some cables become defective or are only one way info transmission. I notice the same issue with my Android phone, some cables work others don't.

The first thing you may want to do is locate the address or location on an online map service (google maps, mapquest, etc.) If it's not there chances are it will not be in the device. When search for an address you may try by typing in the zip code first. If that does not work try by city first. What is the exact address you are looking for?

Does the initial Magellan screen appear? If it doesn't display anything and it's just blue... :( Normally means that something on the main board is your problem. Which, means your out of luck. What happened to it? It just suddenly stopped working? Let me know. R/
