Reply With QuoteMost probably an issue with the USB cable or the USB socket. Have you tried with different USB cable or on a different USB port on your PC?
I can't remember exactly but try to copy the *.gpx files in folder x:/Garmin/GPX on the SD card and check is it working.

Added new maps to my eTrex 20 -- and lost other things?
I added a new set of gpsfiledepot.com maps to my eTrex 20 last night -- not to the unit itself, but to a micro SD card. Plugged the card in and, yes, the new maps are there.
Unfortunately, I lost two important sets of data -- a .gpx track and all of my cached routes (80 or so).
I have the .gpx saved on my computer but when I put it onto the SD card it's not showing on the unit. When I plugged the eTrex 20 into my computer I got an error message on the GPS I have never seen before: "The USB cable is connected to the wrong adaptor". The GPS does show up on my computer.
The old tracks are nowhere to be found.
So -- what does the message mean? Why does the .gpx track not show up? What happened to my carefully cultivated set of cached tracks? Thanks for any help.

Ah, no I have tried neither of those. I'll give it a try tonight.

It maybe varies a little depending on your OS i think: Control Panel>Device Manager>Universal Serial Bus controllers and click to expand it. If any entry has a little yellow triangle with a '!' inside, double click it to see the properties window to check for problems, old drivers etc.
But as you said, plug something else 'known-to-work' into the socket and see if it works also.'Thanking Posts' are banned.
