I have the following problem: even though the internal storage is empty, it keeps showing that only 3,78Gb from 7,02Gb is available.
What is the issue?
Can someone help me to solve this?frak123 Reviewed by frak123 on . Garmin Driver 40 I have a Garmin Driver 40.

Maybe is because you don't see the hidden folder \.System.
This folder contains the main Map (gmapprom.img) and others stuffs.
You must uncheck "hide hidden and system files and folders" in Folder Options

Excuse me, my advice was not complete.
Garmin Drive serie are MTP Devices, you must enable "Mass Storage Mode" on Device to view \.System folder
To enable the "Mass Storage Mode", like the previous series, proceed as follows:
- From the Map screen, touch the speed icon to access the Travel Panel.
- Press and hold the Direction / Speed indicator for about 10 seconds until a hidden Diagnostics menu appears
- Scroll to "MTP Settings", set to "Mass Storage" and Save settings.
The Menu should appear like follow
MTP SETTING
MTP Auto Detect
Mass Storage
Mass Storage Single Session - Now your nuvì is exactly like those of the old series (including .System folder)

Thankyou for your help.
Now I can see all the folders.
Do you maybe also know what the best map is to set on the Garmin?
Or do you know how to unlock a map?
Thankyou

Garmin Drive series use NTU European Map but ...
You must Patch the Firmware to read Unlocked Maps, or anything else not installed by Garmin Express with an eventually Life Time account.
You can find the patched Firmware for your model here:
Drive and DriveSmart 40-50 (2267) fw5.90
For others stuff read the section Tutorial of Forum

For a Garmin Drive 40, and Full Europe coverage you have:
- Main Map (All North gmapprom.img) in folder \.System
- Additional Map (All South D6210100A.img) in folder \Map
- JCV (D6166100A.JCV + D6136100A.JCV) in folder \.System\JCV
- Address Search SID Files (D6160100A.SID + D6214100A.SID) in folder \.System\SID
- Insta Search SID Files (D6163100A.SID + D6213100A.SID) in folder \.System\SID
- ExternalPoint Addressing SID Files (D6168100A.SID + D6134100A.SID) in folder \.System\SID
- FastRouting SID Files (D6222100A.SID) in folder \.System\SID
- Country State Search db Files (D6161100A.DB + D6216100A.DB) in folder \.System\SQLite
If you use an external microSD Card, replace \.System with \Garmin. Everything else remains unchanged
NOTE: While Maps and JCVs are essential, SID and DB Files are optional
