This file is MSN Direct related, flight status and perhaps weather related too. It is created by WebUpdater or with a
Mygarmin dashboard session.

Changes made from version 2.50 to 3.00:
◦Added support for new MSN features - Weather Radar and Alerts, Send Routes to GPS, and Flight Delay Status.

PS: this gpi makes crash Basecamp, better to remove it. Unless you are using the MSN direct it is not needed.

Backup it first in case you need it again.

@trumbert
Even if it's a true dedicated MSN Direct capable device such as a 285W/785/885 [all discontinued in 2010] the service has not been operational for 3 years now, since 1st January 2012:

All NA localized nuvis had the limited service MSN Direct file 006D135900.gpi onboard as OEM until 2010 afaik. I didn't think that any other localized units such as EU had that file but it's now useless anyway and can be deleted. However it's not the file causing you to still see old Cyclops cam files:

But i can see some old one and they are from 2012 ....

Which model nuvi and localization is it, and can you say how you know these are 'old one ... from 2012' i.e. how are you seeing and identifying them on the unit?

My model is Nuvi 1390T and i find it in Tools-Settings-System-About and then Extras and Safety Cameras.
And my nuvi has only 4gb intern memory so i must use a sd memory card to get my lifetime updating.

OK, well here are two screenshots from a 3790, no card. The first is with only a single Cyclops GPI on-board without any other safety cams or other custom pois of any type, the second is after the file was deleted:

Spoiler: screenshots

If you have carefully searched the unit without the card in the unit and are satisfied there is no .gpi file hiding anywhere then [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] because perhaps the unit is 'remembering' an earlier file in it's non-volatile memory even after it was removed.

When i do a clear nonvol must i not have the card in or not??

It doesn't really matter, but best just remove it first before you clear nv and then check Tools>Settings>System>About for continuing presence of 'Extras and Safety Cameras'. If it's still listed you definitely have a gpi file lurking somewhere in the unit's file system.
