How to delete old pre-installed maps

***For newer Garmin devices where map data folder is hidden***

In case anyone gets irritated by nag screen to update old pre-installed maps and wants to remove the old maps, here's how to do it:

1. Start NUVI by itself and go to Volume Screen.
2. Press the upper right hand corner of screen for 10 seconds.
3. The Developers Screen will pop up
4. Scroll down to MTP SETTINGS
5. Change from AUTO DETECT to MASS STORAGE
6. Shut down NUVI and connect to PC
7. It should now connect in mass storage mode.

As an alternative to step 1 above, you can bring up the Nuvi's "dashboard" screen, then press and hold the speedometer for about 10 seconds to access the developer screen.

Be careful of what you delete though!
