Thread: How to backup Nuvi NV (region41) with sd

This initially appeared to be working (SOFTWARE LOADING / LOADER message, green progress bar and reboot) but did not give me a 41.bin file in the root of the microSD and it resulted in a corrupted update.log file (unreadable).

Used another microSD, cleared NV and tried again (using 1:/). All symptoms look fine, this time I even do have 41.bin in the root, but the update.log file is still corrupt.


Edit:
The 41.bin file on the microSD also seems corrupt as I am unable to copy it from microSD to the HDD of the PC. Will try a third microSD and try again but will not be home until 8 hours from now. Could it be the nüvi 2545 does not write the files properly onto memory card?
