Windows computers and a mounted volume on Mac computers. 
I cannot see any new 
removable drives in 
my list of drives. If you have several network drives mapped on your computer, 
Windows may have trouble assigning drive letters to your 
Garmin drives. See the Help file for your operating system to 
learn how to assign drive letters.
Some of my data 
is missing from the 
history. When the device memory is full, your oldest data is overwritten.
