I deleted your other copies of this request.
Since you ignore not only our rules but also all the information we provide I will only answer if there is a real problem on your end.
In the meantime simply start by readin our rules, followed by the tutorials and the red sticky thread in the general discussion area.
If you wish to install a new Navcore you might have guessed by now that we also have a section for this "problem".
So, good reading!

Being new does not mean we have to repeat everything that is already explained in detail.
Especially for noobs tutorials and instruction were created, so please use them.

Yeah, you got to invest some time and wit to investigate the forum for the path to your new roads.
But it can be done. There is a wealth of information here.
Lots of tutorials, lots of tools, lots of maps.
Read, read closer and act accordingly!
If you do run into a problem following up the tutorials, you will get help when you clearly specify the steps you took and the situation you are in now.
One thing's for sure: there is good software and up to date maps waiting for you and your Go 910

Yeah I have the same thing and updated my 910 today.
I used universal navcore installer to get the required navcore (Go 64Mb). It didn't find my drive so I got it to extract into a temp folder and then copy (and overwrote) over to my 910's drive.
Then I copied the new map to a folder.
Finally I used Easy Activator and followed on screen instructions.
Personally I wanted to format the internal memory and start scratch. I didn't see very obviously if the above would work on a fresh internal memory.
Though I do have an entire 'dd' image of the harddrive but it will take a while to restore.
