Mio Spirit 480 - connecting to my PC to update maps

[bobbyelliott]

Can anyone tell me how to connect this damn thing to my PC?

It doesn't come with a PC cable (only a car charger) so I used a standard mini-USM cable but my PC will not recognise the device (nothing happens when I connect it to my PC).

Am I doing something wrong?

Do I have to do something special to get my PC to see this device?

How do I update the maps on this device?

Cheers.

just a standard USB to Mini-USB lead and the NavDesk software from Mio (which came with the unit) - if it doesn't find the unit, I would suggest it may be the computer settings, so try on another computer if you can...
