2. The next thing on this month's Podcast is Ian’s FAQ’s, the frequently asked question he gets asked whilst supporting our customers.

It has become apparent over the last few weeks that one or two of our customers are going in to the Internal Storage of their Garmin or Satmap GPS and altering/adding/deleting various files and folders or using their micro SD map cards to store all sorts of things on them.

Please don’t do it. I can only think of these times when it would be appropriate to do so.

Garmin

Corrupt gpx file – the link for the instructions is here

Deleting FIT files – the link for the instructions is here

Backing up Birdseye mapping – the link for the instructions is here

Satmap

With a new Active 20, sometimes the Route folder doesn’t initially appear and needs to be created. In this instance

Mac Finder/Windows File Explorer>double click Satmap internal folder>right click in the space>New>Folder>ROUTESDisconnect the Active 20>power button>Main Menu screen>Folders>Internal Storage>Refresh>the folder should then appear

Wearables

Deleting FIT files – this is exactly the same as for that for a GPS

Courses – these can’t be deleted via Basecamp.

Connect the watch to your PC/Mac>Primary folder>Garmin folder>Courses folder

Map cards

Please don’t store anything on them. They are there for preloaded maps only

Don’t forget we have lots of tips and solutions to your questions in the GPS Training online resource - go to – gpstraining – click on – online resource – on the top menu bar – and then log in – select your unit and you will see the top tips for that unit down at the bottom of the menu of units.
