Help with Magellan RV9490

Well, I just did the dumbest thing with my Magellan RV9490T. It got hung up on an update and wouldn’t boot up. The screen displayed “Not enough disk space to boot, remove personal files to free space”.

I then connected the unit to my Mac and proceeded to delete recent files with File Manager. Now the RV9490 simply says “No Map Found”. I have all of the files saved but (here comes the dumb part), unfortunately, I can’t restore them because I don’t know exactly where they go.

Attached are screen shots of my current RV9490 configuration. If there is a tech savvy person out there that can post or send me screen shots of their RV9490 (folders and sub-folder contents), I will deeply appreciate it!

The last screen shot is just the first few lines “Maps” folder. It’s large and I may have put this data back in the wrong place… Let me know if your Map folder looks the same.

Screen shots are at:

  • like Trackrig said.

    call Magellan... updating maps are tricky sometimes. and can BRICK a GPS..

    I had reliability issues with Magellans... 5 in 6 years.. but warranty was good.
    they always replaced the dead ones. but being without for weeks at a time is a pain.
  • Call Magellan - hopefully they can sign into your GPS and straighten it out like Garmin can. If they can't, don't buy another Magellan.
