My litte old 200W has 1.85 GB of memory. Red Light cameras, speed cameras, and many special custom way points of interest that use my custom wav files. I stll have 724 MB of free space.
Fuccowie, did you dump any of the foreign languages. Also you might dump some of the vehicles. Why have things on your unit you don't need. I had a number of pictures I installed. You might want to dump some that came with your unit.
