Garmin nuvi 3597 - Express Unable to Recognise Unit

A dumb mistake of mine in the end was causing me frustration as with everything connected to my laptop, the unit was not even visible as a connected USB device.

After rebooting and all the usual Windows things, I finally found through trial and error that you have to plug the USB cable directly into the back of the unit for Windows to see the device , not via the magnetic mount passthrough.

Windows recognising your Garmin

Also depending on the version of Internet explorer you use it might not recognise it either so I use Google chrome and it works every time. :)

Re: Windows recognising your Garmin

Thanks for the tip re Google Chrome, as I also have a 765 which the computer doesn't recognise occasionally/
