When you are at MyDrive, My Content, what does it show at the bottom in the 'Device' line for MB Used and MB Free?

3482MBUsed236MBFree i just try the updates it went thru fine no biggie gps fix and map share
other wise how can i free up some space.??

236MB is just over the 200MB that the unit reserves when updating firmware. It first loads the code to the unit (which is what takes the extra space), then runs a checksum on what it has loaded, and only THEN overwrites the old code with the new. So whatever you're updating had better be pretty small.

As for space, you can review all of your custom content by going to this url with your device connected:

We've had some conflicting information on this model, but I believe there's a good chance that your 1505 has a uSD card slot in the bottom - and that could resolve your space problem. Can you confirm?

Think it may depend upon the serial number as to whether a SD slot is included or not in that model. See here:
