Go Superior not enough memory

[SRD]

My Superior 6 has updates pending for the eurpoe may but says there is not enough memeory for the update. It is the only map loaded, the one it came with plus the subsequent updates.
My old TT had a card slot but this one seem so be unexpandable for memory

GO Superior has 32GB of internal memory, so you have plenty of free space to update the Europe map.
If you are running out of space, it is because you have other maps installed, delete some maps to free up space.

No other maps. Update is over 9GB

I have had to delete a number of countries on the European map to update others. Not ideal or what I expected

 

[Willy875]

It is not possible, as already said on GO Superior, 32 GB of internal memory available.
You have the possibility to install several countries of the world
So you must have installed other countries of the world.?

Have you looked on the GPS to change map?

have reset original map, deleted east europe and updated to solve.
No other maps loaded on device

Any decent sat nav would have an sd card slot. The fact that the newer TomToms lack this advantage is a backward step. My old TomTom has Australia, New Zealand, Canada, USA as well as Europe, all saved on the SD card. Whoever decided that it was a good idea to remove this great advantage is an idiot and a nuisance.

"Any decent Satnav" would have enough memory to hold all of North America and Europe at the same time. But ...
Yours already does.

Have NO idea what's up with your 32GB storage being 'full', but it should not be.

Give this a moment's thought, would you? You've got Australia, NZ, most of North America and at least Western Europe all on an SD card. That would be an SD card that is no larger than the 32GB card that your old device supports. So if there's a lack of memory on your new device, there's a different problem - not a shortage of memory, but what's being parked in it.

Unfortenately I suffer from the same problem of lack of memory space on my GO Eccelent 7. Bought in aug -24, the Europe map preinstalled. No problems with updates of maps at that time. In december, we went for a trip to US, and I loaded the California map. After comming home again, the update routine told me I lacked sufficient memory space. So unloading the US California was obvious. Despite that, my TomTom keeps telling me that I have to delete maps to get the new updates. I have subsequentially deleted a lot of the less important Eurpean countries. But for every time I try to update the current European maps on the device, it still claims lack of space. Right now Europe update is 11.2 GB, and I can't get it in without deleting more maps.
I don't drive that much, and not loading anything else than the recommended over wifi.

Are you sure you release memory when a map is deleted ?

"Europe update is 11.2 GB"
No, that wouldn't be an update. That would be the full European map set.
When we talk about an 'update', it's the incremental changes to the existing map set.

I'm beginning to think that the old maps aren't in quite the same format in some way or another, and won't co-exist with what is being downloaded, requiring the elimination of what was stored before the new data can be saved.

So, now I have deleted all maps för Europe. No maps remained after that, and I could successfully install a new version of the Europe map. So my conclusion must be that you have had a mismatch in recognition of updates to existing maps installed from delivery, and therefore cannot install incremental updates. Instead it tried to install double versions of European maps, which of course resulted in lack of memory space. So with that comment I'll leave this thread.

Can I just ask as I have the same problem. You deleted all the maps then reinstalled Europe? Did it take long for the old maps to be deleted? Thanks JB

It does take a while to delete, yes. And of course, a while to download and reload.

Thank you.
