I have a Go 6000. My Drive Connect shows the device as "Connected". Content shows 3 updates available. The three updates have a total loading of 7179 MB. I have 27 MB free in the device with a further 22225 MB free on the 32 MB SD card. I can call up the updates, tick them to select them and click on "Update Selected" and that is as far as it goes. This problem is repeatable time after time. As far as I am aware the software for both My Drive Connect and the device are at latest versions.

Hi, Vikram. It was not the map size or available space that was the problem. I am pretty sure it was a glitch in the software. Tackling the problem in a different way - see my post above - finally resulted in clean update downloads and removal of duplicate maps from my system. Also, at last, My Drive Connect and my GO 6000 finally agree on what maps are installed on my device. For the moment at least, alles ist gut.

Hi
@ttrider2
Gald to see you are sortedUpdate to my query, above. Odd. I tried downloading the two smaller updates (Voice and Speed cameras) and the downloads went without a hitch. When I checked "Content" the big download for "Europe without buildings" had disappeared and my device was shown as "Up to date". However looking at the maps I have installed there was an update for "Europe with Benelux buildings" shown, - this was not shown on my pending updates list. This update is currently downloading.
The update for "Europe with Benelux buildings" said it was successfully installed. - Hm, I now had two copies of the same map so it was a fresh install, not an update. Through "My Content" I found which version was which and clicked on Uninstall against the unwanted version. That seemed to work. Now, it seems, My Drive Connect and my Go 6000 finally agree upon what is installed (Snip)
As far as I'm aware If you use the default MyDrive Connect menu structure to update the device....
Then MyDrive Connect only monitor's the 'Active Map'....

What wondrous thrills await me next?
I think this query can now be closed, I just wish I had the faintest idea of what was going on.0 -

No, I had already tried all the usual "fixes". This problem has been ongoing for several weeks. I think I have now resolved the problem but have no idea what was actually wrong. I suspect a software glitch somewhere as tackling the problem a different way seems to have effected some sort of cure. I can now switch between the installed maps now which also would not work whilst the problem waspresent.0 -
Hi
@ttrider2
welcome to the site...
The early NAV4 devices like your GO 6000 the Maps fitted easily onto the 8GB of on-board Memory, but the Map sizes increases with every update...
If your device has the 8GB limit on-board Memory size on the NAV4 devices is an unfortunate, but real Catch22 situation....
@VikramK or @lampard one of the Forum Moderators pick this type of problem and add a new smaller Map set to the Account to get past the 'Catch22'
Note... You may also receive a 'No Maps Found' error warning on the device....

The 32GB SD card already had data written to it so there should not have been a hitch due to available capacity. I shall have a look at the link you provided.
BTW My last bike was a 2012 YamFaz8 ABS. Don't ride now, gave up at 82 three years after a nasty crash at Cadwell. For me it was Supersports bikes really, the Yam was a nice bike but not a track tool like my CBR RR. That crash taught me that old bones don't bounce well.1 -
