Another great way to find out what plugins that are loaded into Firefox is to use the my config option in the Mr. Tech Toolkit add-on you may want to check the show descriptions + filename in the options menu to display the DLL file and Version info.

Why wont my garmin 200w connect to pc

Hello,

Installing the Garmin Communicator plugin should resolve the problem. In most cases, th USB drivers are included with the Communicator plugin that are required for the nuvi to be detected. If it is still undetected after the installation of the plugin, it may be necessary to download and install the latest USB drivers.

Garmin 265 wt is charging via USB cable.It will not connect to the garmin website.

Hello,

The Garmin Communicator Plugin needs to be installed on your computer.
http://www8.garmin.com/products/communicator

Also check to be sure that the data cable is the correct one.
When connect between the nuvi and the computer, the nuvi should show that it is in mass storage mode by displaying a computer on the screen.

The correct cable is Garmin part number 010-10723-01.

Once I conect my GPS to a usb cable, I get the black screen that says conect to computer, that being connected to the car. I thought that the gps needed to be coneected to the internet to get updates, I...

The screen your describe on your Garmin Nuvi is quite normal. It's the PC communication mode of the Nuvi. When disconnected from the PC it will automatically restart.

To update Nuvi software and maps - connect the Garmin to a PC / Mac using an USB cable. Then start your web browser (Internet Explorer / Firefox or similar) and go to MyGarmin.com.

To update the Garmin - MyGarmin.com will check if your webbrowser has been installed with the Garmin update plugin. If not it will say so and will lead you through the procedure to install the Garmin web browser plug-in.

After the web browser plugin is installed it will ask you for your Username and Password at MyGarmin.com. If not registered, then register yourself with the serial number of the Garmin Nuvi.

From here it's possible to update your Garmin Nuvi with new Nuvi software and maps using your username / password at MyGarmin.com
