Set it like this:

    .
    Before disconnet the device from the PC i made a screehot of the .system folder. In this picture you can see the gmapprom.img in the .system folder has changed his size. It went from up to 4 GB into approximatly 2.6GB. Now i disconnected
    and reconnected it the device from the PC as the updates are completed. Now GE shows again the same updates as before.

    The screenshot of the deployed .system folder afteer update shows the gmpapprom took his original size again up to 4GB. See picture:

    So nothing has changed. The device even dont show the map exepted only the basemap. I do not understand what i have could been done wrong.
    Anyway thanks for your patient,

    Francis
