Thank you. The Alpha is very much like the 67 series but the menu and hardware are heavily modified for dog tracking via the Garmin collars.
In the Display menu is the option to either be Prompted or Always connect as Mass Storage.
However I also found when going to get these screen shots that if the unit is already switched on and a USB cable is connected then this option pops up:
I'd not seen that before as I'm in the habit of connecting the USB cable before switching the unit on.
Thanks to another post here
Re: GPSMAP 67 - No USB Mass Storage Mode, only MTP? I've downloaded
MTPDrive. I mapped the GPS as Drive O. Now my map programme (MapToaster) and JaVaWa Device Manager connect. MTPDrive has to be started each time - I think. Went to find the Purchase Price but that page says "Temporarily unavailable...".
That's a shame as it looks like the Registered version will automatically connect:
FAQ Q6: Automatic mapping does work not in full (registered) version.
I've emailed to see if the Purchase will be available.
