When a USB cable is connected between a Garmin Mass Storage Mode GPS device and a computer, the GPS device enters mass storage mode. Every Garmin Mass Storage Mode device contains a GarminDevice.xml in the Garmin subdirectory of the device. The GarminDevice.xml file describes the device’s identity and capabilities as well as information about currently installed software components and compatible software components. The device volume is usually named GARMIN but may be named after the device; i.e. GARMIN:\Garmin\GarminDevice.xml or nuvi:\Garmin\GarminDevice.xml.

When your device is in USB mass storage mode, a picture of a device connected to a is in USB mass storage computer is shown on the device screen. Also, you should see one or two new removable disk mode? drives listed in My Computer. nüvi 30/40/50 Owner's Manual 25
