Hi all, as title says is it OK to delete old maps. Have found the thread about deleting the express folders but was not sure about the maps.
TIA and a merry christmas to all.

Thanks for reply. It is the maps on the computer. I only need the latest? or do I need them for other things.

I've never found a use for old maps and they do take up a substantial amount of storage. You can delete them from a PC just as you would uninstall an app. Go to Settings→Apps→Installed Apps→Garmin City Navigator 20xx.xx , click the three dots and Uninstall. You can also just delete them from File Explorer, but that may leave garbage in your Apps list.

You don't even need the latest if you don't use BaseCamp

Thanks I use basecamp all the time. I'm not very good at it but it does everything I need. I don't post a lot but do a lot of reading and thanks to everybody for making my life easier.

Hi another question. I have deleted all old map except the latest which are NT_2023_10.gmap and NTU_2025_20.gmap. When you go to ProgramData>Garmin>Maps there are 3 folders :-
City_Navigator_Europe_NT_2023_10.gmap
City_Navigator_Europe_NTU_2025_20.gmap
RMU
The RMU folder contains 1 folder called EU which contains 3 folders :-
2024_10
2024_20
2025_10
These appear to be maps can these be deleted?
TIA

All you need there is the folder with your latest map, the rest can be deleted as can any data in the CoreService folder.
