520 memory and activity issues

hi,

just bought used 520 and already having some issues. 1st issue is with memory. I have read a lot of threads with it but it seems that its a bit different. I do not have any memory at all while having 1 activity on my edge which is also not working. I did factory reset, deleted all previous routes, tracks, segments etc and still have ~30kb free space. I can only have around 1h and 20 min rides before I get a message that memory is full. Not sure which files should and could be deleted in order to fix it.

2nd question is about my last ride. I have a 1 ride which shows under Total rides with distance but if I click on Summary it says its invalid and does not sync with Garmin Connect or Strava. Ride was recorded and everything seemed to be fine

Really frustrated by these "bugs" as I want to use this great device but I can't

If anyone could give some tips and tricks or how to fully reset the device and re-download maps if that would help that would be great unless there is an easier way to fix these.

Thanks

Attached my files from Garmin

Your map file appears to be very large and taking up most of the available space., so installing one with a smaller coverage area will free up some space.

Maps can be downloaded from here https://extract…

ok, tried to remove .fit file from Garmin and put it back but it was written that its not enough space (not sure how it got filled as I just removed file)
Downloaded Garmin Base Cap, uploaded my .fit file, and exported as .gpx and re-uploaded it to Garmin Connect and now I can see my ride.

Maps can be downloaded from here https://extract.bbbike.org/ (use the latin1 format, not UTF8) and select a map area to give a file size of say 70Mb max so there’s still adequate space left for your activities and courses.

This is the older of the dcrainmaker guides which has a specific section for the 520 installation process.
