My new Win7/64bit pc cannot find and install a magellan roadmate usb driver so my gps will connect to the pc.

The computer looks for the driver but for some reason it keeps telling me it cant find & install the driver.

My driver updates are on & uptodate!

Regards Fuzzy

    I guess you have not been reading the previous messages.

    I found a solution to Magellan's GPS unit update.

    It's called Stanley 2-lbs hammer, and no more Magellan products for me.

    magellan gps reviews 2015

    I havemagellan 9020t-lm and It sucks, it took me through the backwoods of America, gets me lost everytime, I came to update it, the computer does not even recognizes it and their own software too!

    Horrible Company, Horrible software, Horrible GPS. Save your money people! Stay away from this lazy a** company who can not even support their own device for millions of users.

    Magellan Sucks.

    I had similar issue on a Dell laptop with 64 bit Windows 7. Magellan GPS Roadmate 1424. Everything used to work fine. I had used their Content Manager application to update the maps on the GPS etc. Then during trying to do the latest map update, it stopped working. The GPS unit stopped showing up as a drive in explorer. After several attempts of disconnect/reconnect USB, reinstall Content Manager etc etc, it all came down to changing the USB cable! For whatever reason, the cable I was using was good enough for the GPS unit to draw power from the laptop but not for the laptop to see the unit. I tried a different cable on a hunch and the device was recognized and everything worked fine. I don't believe you need the exact same cable that you got when you bought the GPS but try different cables before going down the path of reinstalls and reboots.
