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.

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.
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.
DO other devices work with connect to USB-C?
Try booting to Safe Mode which takes minutes to boot.
