Mac OS Monterey will not recognize my Garmin BMW Navigator VI (USB-C to Micro-USB) or my Edge 510 (USB-C to Mini-USB). It passes power to both devices, but does not recognize them. Both work fine on the same system with Mac OS Big Sur 11.6. I have tried new dedicated USB-C to Micro/Mini USB cables and USB-C to USB3 adaptors with the old cables. Same cables on another MacBook Pro with Big Sur 11.6 work fine.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
Update - a user in the Gamin forum posted this solution from Garmin, which also worked for me:
Garmin BaseCamp Not Detecting Devices on Mac Catalina 10.15 or Big Sur 11.0 and Newer
This solved my problem also. I needed to repeat the process for both Gamin Express, for the Edge 510 to be recognized, and for Basecamp, for the BMW Navigator to be recognized.
I have a Forerunner® 245 Music that works fine on Monterey with Garmin Express.

Interesting. Maybe it's the M1-Pro + Monterey. I'll roll back to Big Sur and see how that works.
Thanks for the response.
Yes, USB-3 flash drives work, connected to USB-C through an adapter. Also, my G-Drive works, connected in either of these configs:
1) G-Drive USB-C port connected via USB-C cable to Macbook Pro16 USB-C port
2) G-Drive USB-C port connected via USB-C cable on G-Drive end to USB-3/USB-C adapter to MacbookPro16 USB-C port
Booted in safe mode, and Garmin is still not recognized through Micro-USB to USB-C port, although it still passes power to the device.
DO other devices work with connect to USB-C?
Try booting to Safe Mode which takes minutes to boot.
