- - PC;
- - navigator;
- - USB cable;

Instructions
Step 1
In stores, navigators are sold both with pre-installed electronic maps and without electronic software. If your navigator does not have preinstalled maps, you will have to connect the device to your home PC and download the required licensed software yourself. The new navigator may not be detected by the computer system due to several reasons.
Step 2
Check if the cable connected to the device is working properly. Its inconsistency can also be the cause of the conflict. Use another suitable cable. Remember, the set of connectors on your navigator depends on the specific model, but usually GPS devices are equipped with standard USB inputs. A defective USB connector is also one of the causes of conflict between the PC and the GPS device. Take your navigator to a service center. Experts will determine the exact reason.
Step 3
If, when connecting the device, the computer displays the information "USB device not recognized", try checking the USB parameters in the navigator itself. Some devices may not be recognized via the USB port due to mismatched connectors. USB is a universal data transfer interface. It differs in both current and data transfer rate. For example, there are USB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 connectors. The connector of the navigator must match the parameters of the USB interface on the PC. When connecting an unsuitable external device, a conflict may occur due to a USB mismatch.
Step 4
For correct recognition of the navigator, you may need to install additional programs on your PC. For example, ActiveSync - programs for synchronizing various mobile devices with a computer. Total Commander or another suitable file manager. This program will help you get information about the system, see invisible devices and system files.
Step 5
If the GPS device has a removable memory card, it may not be detected due to media malfunction. Try replacing the storage medium. The PC will not detect the navigator if the system does not have the appropriate software installed - the driver. Connect only a fully charged navigator to your computer. Due to the low battery charge, the PC will also not detect the device.
Step 6
The computer may not be able to see the receiver due to a device malfunction. The cause of the malfunction will be determined only by the specialists of the service center. In this case, the navigator will need to be repaired or replaced.
