Two map versions?

Former Member over 11 years ago

Earlier today I updated my nüvi 1490T (+ 4 GB SD card) via Garmin Express.

When previously updating I was advised about 'insufficient storage space', and had to manually remove the old maps form the SD card before the installation.
Today was different - I could download and install 'Europe NT 2015.20' (appr. 4 GB) without deleting anything.
After the installation I noticed that the new maps are placed on the SD card, whereas the nüvi still contains the previous map version (2014.xx).
The unit lists Europe NT 2015.20 under map info, and everything looks OK - but my question is: Should I manually remove the old maps to ensure that my navigation is supported by the newest map version??

Thanks, sounds reasonable - I use Basecamp, and the maps may have been installed with pre-Express software(?); I'll follow your advice.

The files inside the Map folder on the Nuvi were probably put there using the MapInstall application. They are just portions of the map. They can be deleted. Throw them in the Trash then Empty the Trash on the Mac.

The SD card looks good.

It appears that you may have installed those older maps in the past using MapInstall or MapSource. You can delete the files with 2014.4 in the file name.

Four if you count my initial recommendation to remove overlapping map products :D

I wasn't ... But seeing you have good music taste I will :-)

I'm playing the MP3 right now. I have a quite a few Simple Minds tracks in my playlist :)

So are the Scots going to secede tomorrow?

Don't think so. Most polls show No ahead by a few points. Will be close though.

I certainly hope not being half English half Scot. Have said if they do vote Yes I'll give up drinking whisky :-)

Well as you know (and can be guessed from my name) I have Scottish ancestry. I've been there. I don't drink Scotch but my mom does. I doubt anything will stop her though :)
