No, that's where stuff like BaseCamp databases are stored, not maps.

Wow, got 6 maps to delete!

Thanks

How many Gb were they taking up ?

I'll confirm the map location next time they do one, however, they also save the firmware and other updates in the same place so next time I get any update I'll get the bloodhound out.

The biggest Garmin downloads are stored on your PC in the place where Sussamb said in his first post on 12.7.16 ie C:/ProgramData/Garmin/Core Service.

Note that C:/ProgramData is normally a hidden folder. To see it, you may have to press View...Hidden Items (or similar) depending on your operating system.

When I briefly had that DriveAssist last week I updated the maps to 2017.10

Once complete I searched for the saved map, but it hadn't.

I used the trick:

CTRL + F then type 'size:gigantic' into the top right search box and there were no Garmin related files in the list.

I reckon it only saves the downloaded maps if you tell it to for use with Basecamp, which I did once but since turned off.

I know they were there a while ago when my SSD filled up and I deleted them but they aren't there now and that download didn't save them.

That gigantic search only revealed 4 large files and they were nit related. After those 4 the rest were down under 1Mb so outside the limits.

Thought: I can't remember which way round but I do hide either hidden or system files, not both. One of the options reveals loads of desktop.ini files so I turn that one off.
