I bought the data cable and an keyspan adapter with the hopes of updating the data base myself. My notebook computer does't have a 9 pin serial port so hence the recommended keyspan adapter.
I uploaded the data loader software and tried to get the data base key number from the GPS unit as directed by the software and manual.. Problem is I get a msg on the GPS that the data loader is not ready. I talked to the help desk and they took me through the steps to check the keyspan adapter which was connected and operating. They say the wires to the data plug might be wrong... bought unit from Vans prewired.... before I start opening wire bundles, has anyone else had this issue. I have to think its a problem with the computer interface( keyspan).. any ideas?
