If you are not using the latest version of Mapsource, upgrade to it. Older
versions of Mapsource required you to switch between USB and Com. The error
messages you got are com port error messages. The new version
automatically detects your GPS and that it is on USB.
Also turn off your computer and restart it. You could also try another USB
port. Does your computer make a sound when you plug in the GPS? Any error
message? Does a squiggly line show up on the top of the display when you
plug it in?
I do not know about EasyGPS, but some programs do not support USB. You have
to buy a serial cable for them. Street Atlas is an example. If it does
support it, you may need to tell it to use USB.

It's a usb connection. And i'm not very familiar with usb. I've only ever
had 1 other device (a web cam) that used usb.
I installed the driver off of the Trip & Waypoint Manager CD like the manual
said but, my 60cs is not being recognized.
I even tried downloading a cache from easygps to the 60cs to see if it was a
mapsource problem or a gps problem and easygps didn't recognize my gps
either. Infact, it still thinks i'm using the vista on com 1. I know there's
probably an easy fix to this but, I don't know how to do it. PLEASE help!
Thanks & God bless!

The GPS is not responding. Please ensure the following and try again:
1. The GPS's interface option is set to Garmin or Host mode.
2. The cable is connected to the correct serial port.
3. The GPS is turned on.
I just upgraded my software, and needed to let it find the proper com port,
and I also had to reset the baud rate to 9600. I have the Legend, but I'm
assuming that your problems might also be solved by changing those options.
Default was 11,000 something and COM1, which weren't the proper values for
my unit.
