    Default Formatted my BMW Motorrad Navigator V!

    Hi everybody
    I recently had the great idea of formatting my BMW Navigator V (not the SD, the actual internal drive...) and OF COURSE I did not have a backup. My fault, I know.

    Question is: is there any place I can download the files and put them back on? Firmware version is 3.40.

    At the moment I can get the Navigator to start but I see no maps whatsoever and garmin express does not recognize it.

    Any help would be appreciated - I already tried to contact Garmin Support but they weren't much helpful

    Thanks.

    Look if your device is formated in fat32 if not, then format it to fat32.

    Then:

    On empty device create empty folder with name Garmin.
    Turn device off and remove from PC
    Turn device on
    When you on Where to screen turn off device
    Connect device to Pc and start garmin express and will recognize your device
    If you wish, you can [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
