Change the mini usb cable. Some mini usb cable are for charging and not data. It happen to me and used the externo hard drive usb mini cable and zapppppp my computer nows read the gps and gave it a drive (h:\). hope it works for you.

Is Windows (?) detecting the Garmin (USB devise)?
Is this the original cable? Is this one labeled as "USB Charging Cable" it's will not work.
Maybe you need to install the USB driver.

Connect the USB cable directly to a USB port on the computer.

Have you installed the USB drivers for your GPS to your PC? You can download the drivers from the Garmin website.

Go to garmin website www.garmin.com and download the latest USB drivers. After installing the latest USB drivers reboot the computer. Now attach the Garmin to the computer using USB cable. You should see Found new Hardware on your computer.
