Removing a Map

 

I have a Nuvi 680 and loaded a second map called Fishing spots. Anyone know how to delete this map from the unit?

.

Where did the map come from? How did you load it?

Typically, supplemental Garmin maps that are transfered to the unit become a file named gmapsupp.img. Deleting this file deletes the map.

DO NOT DELETE OR MOVE ANY OTHER .IMG FILES.

it was loaded using mapsource the maps came from a cd

Ok, great. I had just never heard of a map named Fishing Spots. I'm guessing that maybe it's a topo map.

Anyway. hook your unit to your PC.

Navigate to the GARMIN drive.

Look for the following files in the Garmin folder.

gmapbmap.img - this is your basemap file
gmapprom.img - this is your preloaded detail map file
gmapsupp.img - this is a supplemental map file

You should delete the supplemental map file. If you are at all in doubt, copy it to your computer first, then delete it from your unit.
