Garmin Drive units - download GPX?

[Joe Makowiec]

I'm contemplating replacing a long-used and much loved/loathed Nuvi 2360
with a Drive 52. One of the features I appreciate about the Nuvi 2360 is
that I can plug it into the computer and download the GPX file to use in
other programs - geocoding, mileage tracking and the like.

Is this possible on the latest Garmin Drive units? I just tried Garmin
support's chat but "We can only verify Garmin's apps."

My GPSmap 64s downloads GPX files that can be read by other, non Garmin,
apps.

Thanks. My past experience has been that most Garmin units (at least the
automotive units I've had over several years) do offer downloadable
trackfiles. In any case, I got my answer. SWMBO overruled the Drive 52 in
favor of a Drive 55 (so she could talk to it: "Okay, Garmin"). As
expected, the .gpx is downloadable.
