Firstly, please connect your device to a computer. You will find a folder in the device called 'Garmin'. In this folder will be multiple files that start with the phrase 'gmap'.

Please delete the files starting with 'gmap'.

Once you have done this, please re-load the courses on your device using the Garmin CourseView updater which can be found here:
