I have downloaded USBDrivers_221 from Garmin web site.
I followed the instructions and then connected my Nuvi 350 and automatically detects as a generic USB mass storage device and I can not install the Garmin USBdrivers_221.
The unit seems to work but when I try to use IMG2GPS.
Img2gps does not detect the unit. the message tells me to make sure I use the latest Garmin USB Drivers
Can you Help?

trying to get street updates and an extra memory card / can not do it on the computor?

I have a couple of ideas based on the information you gave:
1. That Nuvi has an SD card slot. If your PC has a memory card reader, you could insert an SD card into the machine, copy whatever you want onto that, and then pop the card into the Nuvi.
2. While the Nuvi is hooked up to the PC goto the hardware device manager (In XP right click -> My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware tab -> Device manager) and see if anything has an ! or a ? next to it. If so, that's probably related to your Nuvi and resolving that usually involves reinstalling the driver or updating to the latest driver.
More detailed info on what you're trying to do and the result of the above could get a more specific fix.

I had same problem. I called Garmin customer service who connected me to a computer rep. Garmin hooks with your computer that you have your Garmin plugged into.They can upload the proper software in no time at all.
The rep told me that after I updated my Garmin I might have turned off the unit before it completed updating the new software. You need to wait until the screen with "Where to?" appears.
It works great now. Prepare to wait on hold for a while. I waited just over an hour on Monday, their busiest day.

I have the same problem of the Nuvi 850 being recognized by webupdater. I downloaded 4.30 firmware update using this link http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=4043 plug the unit in and ran the update. It will ask you to disconnect once it is done. The unit will boot up after a few update progress bars. Plug it back in and launch webupdater.
Enjoy,
Fellow 850 owner.
