GM fails to register GPS data

jako

Hi.

I have a problem with GM 12.02 (64 bit).
It fails to register the connection with my Garmin nüvi 1490.
I use the usb connection.
it works fine with an old Garmin streetpilot c330.

Hope you guys can help.

Jako,

For some of the newer nuvi models it is not possible to use them as a external GPS device as they connect as a USB Mass Storage device and don't provide the GPS position information in any way. However see http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=129612 for a possible solution that works for some nuvis. I don't think this will work for the 1490 though, but it might be worth a try.

Thanks,
