Garmin Camper 760 LMT-D Update.

**Wooie1958** · 26-09-2016, 17:56

Anyone else noticed just how big the latest ( 4th quarter ) Garmin Camper 760 LMT-D update is

When i first got it i connected to Garmin Express to start everything off and was surprised to find that once it had done the first installation / update the Internal Storage was showing red and nearly full

I followed the advice and put a 8GB micro SDHC in and let it decide which way to split the data which it duly did

It split it pretty evenly and left it with 3.26GB free on the Internal Storage and 3.50GB free on the Memory Card and both showing a healthy blue

After this latest update there is now only 743MB free on the Internal Storage and still 3.50GB free on the Memory Card.

That means the latest update was 2.517GB which has all gone on the Internal Storage and pushed it into the red again

I`ve had a look at the files but can`t work where all the extra data is

I've just bought one...haven't a clue how to use it compared to my Tomtom. Any tips Wooie? 😕

First job is to get Garmin Express and get it installed / updated.

Then get the Garmin POI Loader and follow the instructions on here to put our POI`s on, it`s very easy.

I have got one and I bought the Garmin wireless reversing camera, which is tiny but very good.

I cannot get updates on mine because I threw out my phone line and BT contract for phone and broadband. My mifi cannot handle huge downloads for some reason (neither can my Fon). I just pop up to the Daughters house and use her Virgin superfast broadband.

I've got POIs on. I've been using it in conjunction with my Tomtom for long journeys, but can't do simple things like choose type of route as I do with the Tomtom, eg, fastest route, avoid motorways etc.

Have you done the latest update ? I did mine earlier this evening. It wasn`t there last week.
