Mass storage mode for VA3M

Hello, I just learned - not advertised anywhere in spots, shops etc, that VA3M has "Garmin mode" and "MTP" mode only for USB.
Is there anyway to get back to good old Mass storage?
With MTP (performances aside) I don't have a drive letter anymore, and therefore I can't import my data on Sporttracks.

There are workarounds, but they're cumbersome and requires several step that could be easily avoided with Mass Storage mode.. Is there a way to force it?

All the Garmin devices with music use MTP mode and none have Mass Storage mode. On a PC there are things like MTPdrive (I've never used it) so you can have a drive letter associated with it. On a mac, you need something like AFT https://www.android.com/filetransfer/ to access a MTP device.

Thanks, will look for it!
