Changed the cable? Tried a different USB port? Tried a different PC?

Do you have a friend with a 660? If so, can you try their device in your PC?

Make sure that you have only one program trying to access your 660. Ie close down Basecamp if trying to use Express. and vice versa.

Also, if in Windows, CTRL ALT DEL to load task manager. Find any Basecamp or Express applications still running and terminate them. Also any other Garmin programs. They sometimes stay resident in the list of running programs, which can cause problems.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
