Nuvi 310D -how and what do I backup?

[pauliebanger]

I am getting ready for a trip to France and I want to update the firmware on my Nuvi and to load the relevant maps.

I have downloaded the V3.90 firmware and updated MapSource to the latest version.

I know that it is prudent to backup current position before making changes, 'just in case', but what should I backup and how do I do it?

Can anyone help, please?

Connect the Nuvi to your PC. Make sure Explorer is set to show all files, including hidden files, and then go to the top directory of the Nuvi internal memory, and select all, and copy. Then, in an empty directory on your PC, select paste. This will take some time, and will use upto 2Gb of space (more for a 360/660).

Once you've updated the main firmware, you may want to use WebUpdater (please download the latest version of this too) which will offer some minor updates, such as the GTM update, a Bluetooth update etc. etc. and a few extra things like new vehicle icons.

If you are about to go, please try out the Nuvi before you go - you may find little issues (eg re-pairing your bluetooth mobile phone) - these things will be easier to resolve whilst you are happy in the UK, not about to travel on the wrong side of the road.

Have fun with your holiday though.
