On the device, a screen appears showing the Garmin logo and  
the USB symbol. On your computer, you should see a new  
removable disk drive in My Computer on Windows computers  
and a mounted volume on Mac computers.  
My device is connected  
to the computer, but it  
will not go into mass  
storage mode.  
You may have loaded a corrupted file.  
1. Disconnect the device from your computer.  
2. Turn off the device.  
3. Press and hold the Rocker while you connect the device to  
your computer.  
Continue pressing the Rocker for 10 seconds or until the  
device goes into mass storage mode.

Garmin drives. See the Help file for your operating system to  
learn how to assign drive letters.
