It is very doubtful I would ever need any more than the default North American map, but if I did, I would just ...

If the 590 is not booting past the Garmin logo, there is no point in discussing configuration settings and storage modes.

My hope is for a battery too weak to complete the boot process. Starting it in a powered mount might work.

I fear that the battery may have been too weak during the update ...
