Ah...never mind...found my issue and fix soon after my post....it was the darn cable...used a Garmin GPS cable lying around and that didn't work and when I switched cables it worked. Didn't know that cables made a difference even if they are of the same fit. Duh! :-) I switch cables all the time and I never had an issue before. Interesting. I wonder what's so special about Garmin USB cable. Hope this helps someone else having similar issues. Cheers.
There does seem to be something weird with GPS USB cables. My GPS can only be charged with the supplied charger. If i try my other Mini-USB Chargers it will not take a charge, even though they charge my other devices just fine (MP3 players, cell phone, bluetooth headset, etc.). Same issue with their supplied Mini-USB data cable; my various other cables dont communicate with the GPS. I've also seen this mentioned in random GPS reviews some years ago when i was first shopping for mine.
