Freeing up space

I've deleted all languages other than English. Deleted vehicles and voices that I don't use. On my unit there were photos,coordinates (I'm assuming from some of the programmers), photos of various Garmin locations, etc., got rid of those too.

I had the same question way back when on the text file removal.Can't find the post that I found it on but English text files are contained within the nuvi's non-user accessible memory area.Checked my text file folder and it is showing empty.As always make backup copy before removal.

Please make a backup before deleting anything

Thanks for the info Will make backup for sure

I keep all my custom POI's and photos on the SD card.

GUPDATE.GCD is only used when updating the firmware of a Garmin GPS. After that it just takes up space (6 MB on my Zumo)and can be backed up & deleted.

How do you delete,the pictures that came on my 1450,Garmin home etc.

just plug in usb open the unit file find the photos folder and delete the pictures.

Can you give a few more details,if you plug in the usb you can't get into the gps.Thank You

Have you done a backup?

What you need to do is use a USB cable to connect your GPS to your computer. When you first plug the cable in, your GPS will usually show a picture of the GPS and PC being connected and there will be a status bar that moves from left to right (my bar is green)

When the connection is complete, you should get a pop up window asking what you want to do. Some of the choices might be to:
look at your pictures
play your music
or
open folder to view files

Take the option to view the files.

Navigate to the JPEG folder and you will see the photos. If you want to know what they are, left double-click one. This will usually open "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer". If it did, the left/right naviigation buttons are one the bottom left of the icon bar beneath the picture.

Delete any you do not want.

Backup first!!!!!

1.Connect gps to computer using usb cable.
2.Go to my computer and look for the drive for the gps.
3.Click on Garmin folder.
4.Look for Jpeg folder.
5.Click Jpeg folder and delete the pictures.

Note example for XP

I have deleted many files suggested here and elsewhere. I have 270MB free space remaining. McDonalds only uses 1.02 MB and Walmart 612KB. I do not plan loading pictures or voices, only custom POI. Do I have enough free space?

Yes you have plenty 1 mega bite (mb) is 1000 kilo bites (KB) so you see you have plenty.

I Pluged in my GPS Garmin 1450 to the computer and after several minutes it is still showing Garmin and underneath Garmin a Gps connected to a computer.My system is windows Vista.Thank You

Your computer is connected to the GPS and the GPS will show up as an attached storage device with one or more drive letter assignments depending if you have a memory card in the GPS.

Thank You very much,that did the trick.
