[OSM-talk] [HOT] Problem with an Etrex 20

[Pierre Béland]

I prefer the solution to use an SD adapter were I insert the micro-SD and connect directly to the computer.

On a some forums I noticed a few reports of Garmin devices misbehaving with standard USB cables - for example charging but not supporting data transfer. As far as I could find, this does not look like Garmin misimplementing the USB specification at the electrical level but could be an issue with Garmin connectors just fitting better : some other cables might connect the VBUS wire and maybe the ground wire correctly, thus powering the device while sometimes having at least one of the other pins loose - thus interfering with data transfer.

    transfer succeeds, then testing other cables might be interesting to
    determine what connector shapes hinder proper seating.
