folders and location of JVC file
14 years
|
I think I have sufficiently confused myself enough that I need help.
For some reason my two 3597s are acting different. When I connect one to my PC I get a item in File Explorer labeled "Nuvi 3597" with a nuvi_drive blue triangle icon next to it, not a folder icon. There are 2 drive icons under that labeled "Internal storage" and "Memory card".
The other 3597 gives me an actual drive entry labeled "Garmin nuvi (G:)" with a nuvi_drive blue triangle and another drive entry labeled "3597-5453 (H:)" with a std drive icon next to it.
The folders under them are also slightly different.
My POI files are on the memory card under the Garmin folder in a POI folder. The JVC file, which I had to separately download, is in the JVC folder under Garmin folder on the memory card also.
There is a .jvc folder, which is empty, in the internal storage on the G: drive but not in the "Internal storage" folder on the entry that has no drive letter.
One unit also shows a yellow computer and the other a gray computer.
Any explanation for why these are different and if I should rearrange anything. Both units appear to work properly but now I am not sure.
Yep
One is set to mtp mode and the other is in mass storage mode, Windows displays these 2 modes differently.
Where there's a will ... there's a way ... DriveSmart51LMT-S, DriveSmart50LMT-D, Nuvi 2508LMT-D, 1490LMT, 1310, Montana 650T, Etrex 20
MTP vs Mass Storage.
Sussamb nailed it. For more detail, check Charlesd45's FAQ: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/41416
