Nuvi 55 hidden system folder?
Anyone knows how to access the hidden system folder. In the older Nuvi 52, I could access by typing ".system" but this don't seem to work on the Nuvi 55.

tap the speed meter for 10 second until you got the diagnostics page
view map - speed - (tap the meter for 10 sec)
then choose configuration and setting - MTP Setting - Mass Storage
after you choose mass storage u can view hidden .System folder on your computer. You should setting the computer to show hidden folder and system file.

Re: Nuvi 55 hidden system folder?
Actually the Nuvi 55 belongs to a friend and I am trying to help him update maps, etc.
One thing we want to do is transfer the Favourites from his old Nuvi 52 to the new 55. As I understand it, it is simply taking the current.gpx file from the Nuvi 52, rename it to Temp.gpx, and transferring this to the new 55. Is this correct?

Re: Nuvi 55 hidden system folder?
worst then updating maps... 
I load the user POIs into Mapsource then transfer over... your renaming to Temp.gpx may work.

Bro Moey,
Thanks. I still have MapSource and using it a lot, but I have not used it to transfer favourites, waypoints, etc. So, going for the easier way - rename to Temp.gpx and transfer over to the new Nuvi. Trying it tomorrow; hope it works.

I just transferred the Temp.gpx file to the new Nuvi 55 and it worked - all the Favourites are there now!
