Is there anything I can do, or is it likely a 'bad' 2597 unit I acquired? It operates fine as a navigation device. I did the 'Add a Device' tab in Garmin Express and it could not find the 2597, and the GPS screen remained in the navigation page as if it was just plugged into my car cable and car.Īt the moment I am updating one of my Nuvi units (an old Nuvi 1300) since the 2597 won't talk to my computer. To make sure my cable was good, I plugged in two other Garmin GPS units and they went straight to Update Mode and Garmin Express recognized them right away.
I just acquired a used Nuvi 2597 and plugging it into my computer via a genuine Garmin USB Cable, the unit starts like it ready to use to navigate, and NOT like it is in the 'Program Updates' mode.
