If I remember correctly, the Legend CX uses a USB connection. If it is properly connected, your computer will let you know. Without knowing specifics, here’s what I’d recommend:
Check to see if your USB port is working with another peripheral.
Be sure the cable is properly plugged in, both to the computer and to the GPSr.
Make sure the GPSr is on.
Try another connecting cable if possible. My GPS Map 76 CSX uses the same cable as my digital camera.
If these don’t work, you might have either a software problem (which I would think odd if other peripherals work) or a hardware problem, which would require technical support from Garmin.
Anyway, should you be able to read the GPSr’s presence, then downloading waypoints shouldn’t be a problem. Either your programme will have the drivers for that or a simple add-on needs to be installed.
Hope that helps.
