Trouble installing Topo Active 2024.10.

Unread post by truckinguy »

I have a 3 yr old Montana 700. It has 2021.10 I believe and express will not install or can't 2024.10. Isn't topo active NA supposed to be installed free? if so doesn't it delete the older version? I got a message about no memory left. My disk check say's the 700 has 6.3 gb space left

I attached a pic of the 700's map segments.

Can't I delete manually the older versions? and the central america etc which I don't use? if so what would be the name for those.

Garmin Express can be a real mess when it comes to map installation.

You can remove unwanted maps from your device manually (suggest copying them to your HDD in case you want them again later).

Please see GPSrChive > How to... > Maps > Map Names > Garmin Vector Map ID for a list of known map names.

Please also read the Forum Posting Guidelines.

Thank you!

I'm back to where I want to delete maps from the 700. I only see maps with A at the end. I specifically want to delete Canada and Mexico topo's. I had installed 24k and a a few states of an older 2008 Topo I've had. But can't seem to figure out the ID number for those countries.

JaVaWa Device Manager can tell you exactly which map is contained in each img file.

So which maps did you find on your device?

We're they not in the list at the link provided earlier?

If not, sharing that info will allow us to add them for the next person that needs help!
