How do I remove maps?

Hi folks,

I have searched thoroughly but cannot find this anywhere so....

I have a Nuvi 300 and have been messing around with it and maps of Europe. Getting extra maps on is easy, but how the devil do I remove them again and just leave myself with the UK & Ireland base maps. The internal memory is almost full (should have bought as SD card first I suppose)

best regards and thanks.

I thought old maps were deleted when you loaded new ones, so if you now load UK & Ireland that's all there will be on the unit.

Hmmmm,

Thanks Anita, now the unit says it only has v9 UK & Ireland, but the internal memory has 396 mb used and only 19mb free. I thought there would have been a lot more free space with only the above maps installed?

Just thought I would update this....

After installing a bit if Italian map from mapsource onto the SD card, a single file named gmapsupp.img appeared.

When I checked the internal memory of the unit itself there was also a file of the same name.

Assuming the gmapsupp.img was an addition (supp = supplementary?) I copied it off the internal memory and started up the unit, then lo, maps are fine and free space has appeared!

The gmapsupp.img file on the unit contains all the maps on the unit and the gmapsupp.img on the card contains all the maps on the card. It is not a file of supplementary maps.

But as the unit's woking Ok now it doesn't really matter! :D
