Good Luck and have a nice day.

Hello There, I have a Magellan myself, besides me knowing some things or two about GPS'S

Give this a try, seems to work for me and others most the time.


Try this for me to see if this works: Let me know. It needs to be rebooted. Turn off, by holding off button down. Then once it is completely off, then turn it on, BUT when you go to turn it on, keep on button depressed, all the way until it turns on and then some for about 15 seconds, now you just rebooted system. Let me know, if does work, please click on the thumbs up to showed your a happy customer. Thanks Mike

please call the customer service.

normally, connecting a gps to a computer results in file explorer opening and displaying the file structure. A phone does the same thing. The gps may need to be set for that - Garmin is automatic. a program that takes coord input needs to have the gps set to match what it wants as in nmea, garmin, etc.

The battery is probably dried up. They are only good for 3 or so years.

For $75.00 I'll tell you how I fixed it!!

Update here step by step process-- How do update my Garmin Maps Garmin Discussions on Fixotip

its probably not charging...very common problem with this and many others.

make sure green light is on the car charger and let it plugged in for awhile, then hold the power button (upto ten seconds) until it starts..if that fails

the following magellan 2000,2200t,2500,3000,3100,3140,4000,4040,4050 and the 6000 are known to have faulty dc connectors...if your magellan gps is not charging or will not power up, its most likely the dc power port...

you can get it repaired, here
or buy the port here

if you need further help, just let me know.
