hi just in this where do i place the new map , garmin folder on device isnt showing anything, i remember a while back some folders are hidden on garmins, how do i view them please

after a bit of work got this and it works fine to show system file

1. To make all of Nuvi files visible you must unhide protected files via Win7 like any other HD.
2. Start NUVI by itself and go to Volume Screen.
3. Press the upper right hand corner of screen for 10 seconds.
4. The Developers Screen will pop up
5. Scroll down to MTP SETTINGS
6. Change from AUTO DETECT to MASS STORAGE
7. Shut down NUVI and hookup to Computer USB cable
8. Start NUVI and it should recognize it is hooked up to the computer.
9. Explorer will now see all files in ROOT directory and the .System directories.

I have to add also that you have to make system hidden files obvious in your windows since in some devices .system directory is hidden
