plug the device into computer with USB cable.

Click My computer

Garmin device

Garmin folders/files

Copy files to another location (i.e external harddrive)

Create folder in external harddrive called Garmin.

Paste the Garmin folders/files into the new Garmin folder on external hardrive.

Advice would greatly be appreciated. Just want to know whats the correct way of doing the above.

Thanks,

If you can copy/paste via explored thats the easiest & the best way.
Newer devices on some brands no longer allow this sort of access.
