Garmin Edge 200 issues.

Had a bit of trouble getting courses on my Garmin recently,turns out that the memory on the unit is not massive so a bit of housekeeping is in order.

what was needed was to clear history and courses,courses you can delete from the unit but history you can't so i found out how to do it here forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?31463-Deleting-ALL-History.

I know a fair few of us now have these units so hopefully this will help if anybody is having any issues.

Hi why not buy mini sd card say 2gig.. or will that model not take one ?

That model has no expandable memory but now I know what I'm doing its a relatively simple task to free up some space.

hi there yes it will not take a mini card,, strange really,why not just load your rides to garmin connect/strava (i know you do ) they stay there for as long as you want..i usually delete my rides after uploading to strava..good luck G

Unfortunately you can't delete your history from the garmin , you have to remove the files using a pc.

On the plus side its nice to have filled up the unit ( getting the miles in )

That's odd, certainly can on the 500.

progress for you I guess!!

That's what you get for being a cheapskate, lack of memory

Hardly progress as you can delete history from the 705 which is the older model ... I think Chris is right about the cheap option of buying the bottom spec model!

Hi GS you are correct,go into memory history delete each ride,, does this mean my 800 when it comes will not have the same delate feature if not,, a big leap backwords,,G,,ps i will havaluk at the 800 manual i downloaded,,G

If the 500 has it then the 800 and 810 will Geoff, I think it's more because the 200 is seen as bike computer first and navigation second and so has a cut down version of the firmware as well as lacking the ability to take an SD card for maps/memory.

Hi thanks for that.G

Geoff, I can confirm that you can delete both activities and courses directly from the 800.
