    Answered my own question. For those who are wondering - some micro USB cables are charge-only and won't do data transfer. In my case I was unknowingly using a non data cable and had tried several other similar cables. Once I used the supplied garmin cable it worked just fine. For what it's worth however the GPS track is still complete and total garbage, embarrassingly errant compared to my old 820. Using every second recording and GPS+GLONASS

    A lot of us are struggling patiently with the gps accuracy.. mine is particularly horrendous off-road but weak at best on the road as well. Hoping something gets figured out soon
