change Nuvi from MTP mode to Mass Storage

[ps56k]

Just got a new Garmin Nuvi 2555 to add to our Garmin 250, and 260.

Connected to the USB port to copy some files across,
and the Nuvi 2555 came up as a MTP Media Device ???
What ????

I did some quick searches and found that the MTP - Media Transport
Protocol -
is the default and can be reset to the familiar Mass Storage via some hidden
screens.

copied this from a forum... pasted here for general info and future
searches.

I just received my received my 2595 today and did the backup of the NUVI
when I received it.
Here is the procedure I used.

Make NUVI DIR & Files visible for Backup
1. To make all of Nuvi files visible you must unhide protected files via
Win7 like any other HD.
2. Start NUVI by itself and go to Volume Screen.
3. Press the upper right hand corner of screen for 10 seconds.
4. The Developers Screen will pop up
5. Scroll down to MTP SETTINGS
6. Change from AUTO DETECT to MASS STORAGE
7. Shut down NUVI and hookup to Computer USB cable
8. Start NUVI and it should recognize it is hooked up to the computer.
9. Explorer will now see all files in ROOT directory and the .System
directories.
