    You deleted the NaviMaps. You will have to contact RM to get the Maps again.

    Connecting to the computer has nothing to do with the SD Card. With the 720 connected to the computer and on, press the reset button on the back.

    Ok sir I'll start out by saying I know what I did was stupid and idiotic and I don't really have an excuse for why I did it other than I just got frustrated and in a hurry I deleted not only the memory card but I also formatted the gps itself now all it says is system file missing and it says it's connected to the computer but the computer only recognizes it as another disk. I feel so stupid is there any
    Hope of getting in fixed it's a 730 lm.
    Thank you

    Not a total loss... 1st off the 730 does not need an SD Card. Plenty of memory available inside the unit.

    If you are home I can remote into your computer and restore the needed files on the 730.

    Let me know if you are available.

    Thanks,
    Mark
