Just wondering how to access the internal directory of Garmin Nuvi 1490T. :idea:

Re: Garmin Nuvi 1490T internal memory directory

If using Windows, plug it into your computer and it should be recognised as another drive. You can then see the directory structure of the GPS.
Just be careful you do not delete anything as the GPS will fail if removing a system file.

Re: 1490 map

Great way of stuffing the GPS. Do a format and lose operating system and everything else.

Location of the origional map file

I suspect the main map file is located in the \.system folder and is called gmapprom.img. Updates probably take the format gmapsup.img Logic suggests the sup stands for supplimentary and that you still need the origional gmapprom.img file installed. If you temporarily change the suffix (extension) of the gmapprom.img file to say gmapprom.imz the map will not appear when you check the maps installed in your device. If you try this, don't forget to change it of course.

Tks info3333333.
I will try!
Sometimes, principal maps updates use all internal of Garmin units.
Thanks a lot
