Disco man Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 Morning On a Garmin Edge there is map files that takes up quite a bit of space, and I’m sure that they are most probably for other countries. Looking at South Africa and Namibia witch of these files can I remove from my device to make more space?By the way it’s a Garmin Edge 820 TopoActive Africa v3.imgGmapprom.imgD601700A.imgGmapgc.imgGmapdem.imgGmapbmap.imgGmaptz.img Regards
seven Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 You should find the answers here (its for the 1000, but should be the same)...https://forums.garmin.com/forum/into-sports/cycling/edge-1000-aa/107934-can-i-remove-gmapdem-img-without-issue-to-save-space
fanievb Posted August 16, 2018 Posted August 16, 2018 I downloaded the openfiets map in place of the standard garmin map on my Edge 520very easy to dohttps://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/05/download-garmin-705800810.html edit: no need for sd card, just make sure your selection will fit on the device. I only selected EC, FS and parts of GP & WC

Used to calculate routes on roads.D601700A.img - Absolutely no idea what this one is used for.Gmapgc.img - Map for Geocode data, used to look up POIs.Gmapdem.img - Elevation data map, could be usefull for both road and MTB.Gmapbmap.img - Default base map, no real usefull data on it normally.Gmaptz.img - Timezone map, only usefull if you travel between countries with different time zones.
Disco man Posted August 17, 2018 Author Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks all Garmin support feedback is that I will be doing it at my own risk, but that I could remove the following files: gmapgc.img - 2.1Gb gmapprom.img - 3.7Gb I've removed them and the unit still seems to be 100%. At least I've opened up some capacity on the unit.
