Thread: 3597 LMT problems connecting to PC

If your unit does not disconnect in MSM either with or without a card inserted i would be contacting garmin support for their opinion. Maybe try on other PCs/OSs first and reload the firmware first.



Sure, upload them to zippy or somewhere private and send me the link by PM or remove your UID and codes then you can safely attach them by posting in this thread.

You may have misunderstood what I asked about the PC behavour, I wasn't meaning for GE but for the behavour in Windows Explorer generally. Also, did you see any differences in the card's xml before and after it's used in the unit is what i meant, not in differences between the unit & card xml files if you seemed to think. I was interested if the unit is writing to the Card's xml as it writes to the on-board xml.

I'll send you a PM with links to xml in few minutes.
Unit is in MSM mode for sure. I know the difference between them. And it is grey for sure. I do not like gold and even do not wear it. )

I'll check and on other PC did the unit will disconnect properly.

@dasilvarsa
I'll check with friends which has same units did they have xml on SD and will report.
