Hi
Going away on holiday tomorrow to Lanzarote and would like to update the maps on my device.
It's saying I don't have the space. The only thing on there is the European British and Ireland building maps and UK voices ... I've deleted the voices I don't use so only have 3 on there but it's still saying that there's no space. Can I uninstall the maps that are on there and re-install the updated version? If not, how do I get more space without deleting the maps?
Thanks in advance!

The best option is to install a Micro SD Class 10 Card so that from now on the unit can load the current and future updates on the Extra memory. The Old map will be removed as part of the Update process but do NOT try to delete the existing map yourself as the unit will not boot up as it needs a map on it.
If you attach your GO40 to the PC and go to MY Maps in MyDrive Connect and click on the picture of the Map listed there as on the unit you will get an option to change to a smaller map. I think you will find the smallest map will be the European Map with Scandanavian Buildings and that is only about 70mb smaller so I cannot guarantee that is enough pace to help you .
One other thing is that the GO40 needs 400mb of spare Memory capacity on the internal memory for operational purposes. and I would assume that you must be at or less than that already. Reduction of the Spare space affects performance and at worst cause major issues.. Another benefit of fitting the Extra memory as it will free up a huge amount of space on the internal memory.
