Re: Nuvi clearing help

In Windows Explorer/My computer, browse to the G: or whatever drive is NUVI on your PC.

Open up the Garmin folder. Is there a file named gmapprom.img in the folder (or thereabouts) when the Nuvi is connected to your PC?

How big is the file?


In order to 'clear the maps' from the nuvi you'll need to erase gmapprom.img. However, that IS your mapping...all of it I believe. So, you'll need to also have the tools to reload the mapping.

If you have that downloadable CityNavigator 2009 NT update, check out this thread:
