Is there a simple way to backup contents of my Nuvi 1490LMT including what's on microSD card ? I am currently running 2013.4 maps with large JCV files. I'd like to backup to my hard drive / DVD before downloading latest mapset.

I've plugged my Nuvi into my oomputer to view installed files. Do I download everything or just contents of "Garmin" folder ?

Thanks for the quick replies.

Do either of these methods take into account what is on microSD card or do I have to follow same procedure for the card too ?

In either of the backup methods, treat the SD card as a "Drive" and just repeat the steps for the second "Drive"
