Take your 4gb SD and create folder GARMIN in it. To this folder copy garmindevice.xml file from your Nuvi. Virtual Nuvi created.
Connect SD to computer and mydashbord and garminmapupdater will recognize it as your Nuvi.
But 4gb will be not enough for CNE.

Take a Blank USB Thumb Drive (Fat32) >= 8GB
Copy your Whole Nuvi Drive to the Thumb Drive (including the .system hidden folder)
Update as Normal
Now you have all the updated files from Garmin on the USB Drive.
Garmin will delete the files that you don't need anymore.
Next Step is to copy back to your Nuvi.

Advantages of this method.
You now have an off site Backup of your Nuvi files. (In Case your computer crashes.)
You can use this Drive with Basecamp instead of always having to plug in your Nuvi.

interesting i will try! but should i delete the all the files of my garmin first ? i mean before copying them to my garmin

but why doesn't mapupdater use the sd? what could happen in the next update? i have no more free space
i would like to know [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for which models GarminMapUpdater does it
