    Can anyone advise me how I backup up sat nav before I update the maps? Its my first time.

    Is the route similiar to this?
    or not
    • plug the device into computer with USB cable.
    • Click My computer
    • Garmin device
    • Garmin folders/files
    • Copy files to another location (i.e external harddrive)
    • Create folder in external harddrive called Garmin.
    • Paste the Garmin folders/files into the new Garmin folder on external hardrive.
    Advice would greatly be appreciated. Just want to know whats the correct way of doing the above.

    Thanks,

    If you can copy/paste via explored thats the easiest & the best way.
    Newer devices on some brands no longer allow this sort of access.
