Garmin map update memory full

Thanks, Kanopus. Just three remark! But new data will again record by passing time limit in hardware - 20 archived files is about 20Mb and if you do not have reservation for that volume, device will not have sufficient memory for recording service files sometomes that is not good. Due specification file system many little files as help required more space on disk in about four times. I agree with you I have checked help files size, including file system peculiarity, savings can be up to 10MB.

Nice tips but also remember the superfluous parts of a map. If you have your maps up and running in mapsource, then remove the areas you don't need. This will soon save hundreds of mega bytes. How can I restore those folders. If you want specific routes to follow you can load them onto the Garmin as routes. Garmin Connect and then syncing with Express in theory can do this though I found it rarely worked I find Express a bit flaky anyway.

If you only need English, delete everything in there. The languages take up a lot of space. Thanks for the replies. I had a fiasco on my Montana when I last tried to update the maps. Garmin NON Support first told me that there was nothing I could do to remove the extra maps, but after I insisted for almost an hour that this was unacceptable and demanded they provide me with a new Montana to replace mine, or tell me how to free up the memory, they finally determined that I could delete the extra maps.

I suspect the same thing has happened on my z I bought my z from another user that moved a zumo XT , the Map Updater has installed a second map instead of Updating the Maps. The Updater suggests that you install the new maps to the SD card but does not tell you that you will never be able to remove the old or new maps from the internal memory! If your is a North America model with NA maps either full NA or lower 49 , you will need a micro SD card to perform a map update, as there will not be room in internal memory for the full map.

I would suggest a 8 GB card although you might get by with a 4 GB card. Garmin WebUpdater is a freeware software download filed under mapping and made available by Garmin for Windows.
