After a destination has been entered on an automotive device, it may sometimes display the message, "Route Memory Full" or "Route Calculation Error: Not Enough Memory Available."
These messages appear when the device has reached its maximum available memory for the route that is being calculated.
Each turn in a route is stored in the device's memory. Once the memory of the device is full, it can no longer continue calculating and will display one of the above error messages. To best resolve this issue, break the route into two or more smaller routes.
For example, if you are entering a cross-country trip, create a route for each day of travel instead of plotting in one long, continuous route.
If the route is already fairly short and the device should have sufficient memory to calculate it in its entirety, these messages may appear due to out-of-date software. To correct this, please download Garmin Express and follow the on-screen prompts to complete a software update:
http://www.garmin.com/expressIf the message persists after a software update, you may need to delete archive files on your device.
