I cannot eject the device mentioned above from BC. With my dezl 560LT and nuvi465T it works just fine. Only way is to just remove it from USB connection.

Is this a bug or a feature? :D

    The 2595 and other new Nuvi's behave differently from older models because they are not recognized as USB Mass Storage devices - they are MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) devices. I don't have one myself, but I suspect this might have something to do with it. See:

    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.

    It is a feature ;)

    MTP devices do not appear in the "safely remove hardware and eject media" in Windows as well. You just unplug it when you're done.
