Help please, my nav V is 98% full, am I still able to delete parts of Europe I don't need at the moment, I'm thinking of removing eastern Europe. I have installed a 4GB micro sim card for my music. I recall being able to delete parts of the map on my previous nav iv but cannot see how to do this on the nav v. Afraid to press the wrong command!! Advice please.

Not much help I know - but I also have a Nav5 that I find endlessly frustrating. Wish I'd bought a basic bike with no Satnav prep and no audio. I was much happier with my Zumo 550 and autocom. As afr as I can figure out, after 3,000 miles of usage, there is precisely nothing that the Nav5 does better than the 550 and a whole bunch of things it does less well.
Guess that's progress for you...

For my 660, I followed the advice from Garmin customer Services and deleted all the non English files on the device, in particular the `Help' files and `Voices' this freed up enough space for the last `update' . I did a backup first though, just in case, but have had no problems thus far. Also now bought a 16 gb SD micro card which I will use next time. It was suggested having a couple of cards to `alternate' for updates in the event you need to reload a previous version for some reason and that a 8gb would be more than sufficient ( and minimum recommended ), but a 16 would obviously be better, as gradually these updates seem to be taking up more space each time there is a `new release' . Just delete files via you Computer

You might find difficulty trying to delete some of Europe as its not un segments any more. Just put a bigger Micro SD in. I have owned the V for over a year now and find it far superior that the Nav IV/660.

Hi Glencoe, try this Link for a card I'm currently using a `ScanDisk' but these are supposed to be quicker.

Many thanks for your help, I'm otherwise rather pleased with the current V, I've not had many other hiccups with it, it generally works as requested and does seem to be much superior as you say RTman10. Thanks stelyn, I shall try your suggestion. Take care all.

Found this on UKGSer, "Internal storage is almost full. You may want to purchase a memory card for this device to ensure sufficient space for future updates."
No such problems with my Garmin Zumo 660, Internal Storage is 54% Full, 1.7GB Free.
Full Coverage of Europe 2015.40, plus 3D Maps are installed.
I have a 4GB SanDisk SD Card too.

I have a 32 Gb San Disk 32gb Ultra card in my Nav5 with 2.16gb of music on the card. No errors have shown upto now! In Garmin Express I do have a warning about 'using' a memory card to ensure sufficient space for a future updates, with only 333mb free of 7.03gb.

When you next do an update it will `see' the SD Card and you can select this for the update.
