Problem for Garmin Edge 305 GPS Receiver

Can't upload data to computer




By KauaiBob on Oct 25, 2007

" "
Everytime I try to upload my ride data to the computer, I get an error.  The GPS resets and the data is lost.  Also, when I power down I have trouble getting it to turn on again.  I have to press power and mode a few times and then power and reset to get it back on.

It worked fine for months. Now every time I try to upload my ride data to the computer (motion based.com or Garmin training Center), I get an error.  The GPSresets and the data is lost.
