When I connect this to my gps it goes into computer mode (like updating maps), I bought this to charge the gps and use it. any help is appreciated.

It's a piece of junk. I'm pretty sure you can get a no-questions-asked refund from Amazon though (without having to ship the item back).

same for me; it does not work; I ended up buying a Garmin charger (which was ~$20)

First thing you need to do is make sure that the GPS you have will be able to sit in the unit and connect to power. In my case, the unit blocked all access to the power cord.

The cord needs only to be plugged in for charging purposes or to use the traffic notification feature. Otherwise unplug from cord carry it around using the gps internal battery as power source. Hope this helps.

I don't know this one just put my GPS in data mode no charge. It useless because Mt garmin will not work.

I'm not sure why, but this is normal procedure for several Garmin models (it was the same for my 260, that is, when I plugged it into the computer to charge -- I don't have an AC adapter). On the other-hand, I can use my 765t during charging.

I purchased a gps long ago and I'm very satisfied with it, I DON'T UNDERSTAND why you sent me this email asking me about this nonsense question, I sent positive feed back a few days after a started using the device, so please double check on your emails, it may be a mistake in your behalf. Thank you. !

Good question..it happened to me too. I can't remember exactly, but I think it was because I turned on the GPS before I had the transducer plugged in or the transducer became unplugged after GPS was on. Try plugging in transducer then turning on the GPS or if it becomes unplugged after GPS is on, the turn off GPS, plug in transducer, then turn on GPS. Obviously, the battery hookup must be on before everything. If that's not it then Garmin has a good customer service tech support number on Internet. Lamar

Hi Tina, I'm sorry, I can't help with that. I'd contact the Garmin people and ask them. They are very helpful and knowledgable. What I ended up doing was sending the Receiver I got from Amazon to Garmin and they sent me the Receiver that worked for my unit at no additional charge other than what it cost me to ship it to them.

you bet... a feature you didn't know you had or wanted ... hit the reset switch on the top of the gps then turn it back on. not only does my unit do that, I have to put a rubber band around it to hold in the power cord.. if you return your unit to Magellan they will send you a remanufactured unit that most likely be even worse. good luck.

Switch the the tab to GPS and start your app. They connect via the port on the bottom of the ipod. Have you charged the battery in the cradle? It has it's own battery and may need charged.

If you have the brand Garmin then only buy a Garmin charger. I have bought several cheaper chargers and they are not compatable to Garmin products. Hope this helps

The GPS has USB mini input.The charging cable has USB input on one side and on the other mini USB

The car charger attaches to the holder for the RV 9365 LMB GPS. It is what I think they call the mini USB end. Check this website and see what the mini USB ends look like; https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=mini+usb . There are USB cables that on one end will plug into your computer and the other end is the mini USB end that will plug into the GPS for hooking to computer for updating. That cable also came in my pack when I bought the unit.

I am not sure how to fix that. Mine works just fine. You may need to send it back for a replacement unit. Also I didn't have to plug in my GPS sensor.

The same thing happened to me. I actually called Garmin about this and was told by one of their "technical" people that the receivers can actually wear out and will no longer function. Since the cord also serves as the "power cord" for the unit itself, the GPS will continue to work just fine. You can do a couple of things to remedy the problem: 1) buy a whole new GPS, which Garmin would LOVE you to do, or 2) you can buy a replacement cord/receiver from Garmin ($59.99) or any of a number of vendors on Amazon. I purchased a used one from a vendor and it is working just fine! Hope this helps ... The same thing happened to me.

I'm not sure if it will work with your GPS. If your old charger is charging the GPS, then it's a GPS issue.
