Excellent automotive GPS but always had issues updating the maps with Garmin Express. Most times I had to repeat the update several times before it would actually finish. Never had this issue with my Nuvi 40.
Both units have Lifetime Canada/US maps included.
Again last week, I tried 4 times to complete the update, (2021 US/Canada maps only) without success. Each time, the Nuvi 56 update would quit at around 80-90% and Garmin Express, once reloaded, would always state "updates available".
I finally, decided to format the external MicroSD card for possible corruption etc...
BUT...
In my frustration and need for speed... I proceeded to foolishly format the built-in primary drive... BIG MISTAKE!!!
Now, neither Garmin Express or Windows10 can detect the unit. No Drive letter.... zip.

Garmin's phone help informed me the unit was toast : "good for paperweight" and they offered to sell me a new one at "discount price".
Since I find this "help" sorta hard to believe... and although I know my way pretty well around Windows 10 (20H2), I am no programming Genius. So... there might be a super-duper individual among you who could possibly show me the way, once he/she stops laughing at my "get her done!!!" insanity.
