you are absolutely right neil. i have so many 41.bin files in the unit's RWFS. all of those i have created with so many file names are in there. that's one thing to note also.


way to find out is...
View Map....
Press Speed....
Speedometer shows up.....
Press the center of the speedometer for few seconds until the Diagnostic Page appears.....
Scroll down to RWFS Settings...
Tick "Show in Mass Storage"

Exit the Diagnostic Page and shut off the unit.....
Connect your Unit via USB to your PC and in your Computer Drive, you will find 2 Garmin Directories one of them will be the RWFS which contains hidden file .System and your 41.bin file....

(this is assuming that your MTP settings is set to "Mass Storage")
