Hi pietu

Which latest jcv file would I download for my Nuvi 1490T to get full screen view.

Tnx in advance.

[Tiny]

I'm going with the 40a for my 1490T will let you know how it goes.

[Surething]

I suspect that D2563130A has been included in error. That's the same 480*270 JCV file which was issued for the previous version 2014.40. The GMAPTool Info in Post #1 is identical for the file with the same name issued for 2014.40 map, note the compilation date:

Data JCV:  length 48669425, name D2563130A.JCV
	date 14.01.2014 12:00:30
	006-D2563-13
	picture size 480*270

This map is not yet officially released and no doubt the error will be fixed before Garmin starts offering it for sale and for LM device download.

The correct file for 765 & 1xxx series is D2563140A as Tiny surmised for his 1490. On a side note, 13/14xx can display picture size up to 480*272 so it can also use the split-screen 212*234 file D3531110A meant for 3xxx & 2xxx, but it will display 'stretched' to fit the full screen and will be 'wash-out' looking compared to the native full-screen files. D3532090A is for xx series [nuvi 30/4x/5x] and is encrypted differently so cannot be used by any xxx/xxxx nuvis.

Btw, if anybody wants to add JCV function [and Speed Limit Indicator, Lane Assist etc] to junior models 12/13xx just ask an i'll post a tut for it.

Yeah I noticed that too, just dismissed as user error, these links usually come from other forum posts & can be a bit odd.

Thanks for that info, cool

Don't muck about, my friend, post up a tut for it. Lot's of people will want to know.

[Surething]

Yes, it probably did. However, ultimately this al came from Garmin as a 'pre-release' so the old jvc file may have been included by them accidentally anyway. Sorta sticks out like the proverbial dog's gonads that there's two files with the same numbering progression though. Stranger things have happened, but "I no complain".

Thanks for that info, cool

Not all that hard to work out what's for what, because of the numbering progression that I referred to above with the odd-ball 480*270 file. D3532080A was the 2014.40 jcv file for xx series, so D3532090A is a cert for that series with this map.

Don't muck about, my friend, post up a tut for it. Lot's of people will want to know.

Well, I'm basically lazy and I only posted that to see if anyone really wants it here. Your 1490 is the 'senior model' so there's nothing to enable in it, but as it seems you genuinely think there would be enough interest I'll make a thread soon.

I have lots of other tuts rattling around in my head I could post: Add some 3790 functions to 3750 such as DEM and 3D buildings & all 3790 functions incl ASR to 3760; add some functions to 3x90 such as mp3 & video player; convert nuvi 2460 to dezl 560; convert nuvi 2x5W to truckies nuvi 465 [with BT for 265W]; convert 2x5W to Asian to enable JCV & LA, convert 37x0 to 34x0, nuvi 2797 to dezl 760, nuvi 5x0 to zumo 220. But there's some effort in compiling the tuts so register your interest guys if you actually have one of those units and I'll do them for you. Nothing in modding is without risk, but there are some 'fail-safe' methods to minimise the chance of any bricking or at least make it fixable.

Sorry, a bit OT here so PM me maybe if you want to do any of the above and I'll make the relevant tutorial.

Hi pietu

Can we load this map set into Mapsourse so we can check it's features or errors before loading into the Nuvi?

I don't see any .msi installer package files ect in any of the downloaded files I done so far to do this.

Can these be included as well or is this only a unofficial beta release.

Your efforts appreciated greatly.

Tnx in advance.

[Surething]

@Blackbiro

The gmap folder is all you need. Traditionally, we are used to having a 'MapSource' version [PC Install Version if you like]. All you need do now is drop the gmap folder into the correct place depending on your Windows OS:

In XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\GARMIN\Maps

In Vista, Windows 7/8/8.1: C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Maps

You'll then be able to view the map in Mapsource or Basecamp/MapInstall. BTW, using MapSource is not the best way to compile images with modern CN NT maps, you can get errors because it's just not designed to handle them properly. I highly recommend usging only MI to install images to devices. Only use MS to view maps but not to compile image files.

If you want to add the registry keys which are done if you install the map, that can be done using Protected Garmin File Toolkit [aka PGFT], just google it. However, the gmap folder will work fine without the registry keys. You can also use PGFT to unlock the locked gmap folder.

Hi pietu

What's different with this Image Original file compared to your original Image file on 23-04-14

Tnx

[Blackbiro]

Hi Surething

Using Win XP I did as you suggested above and it worked a treat to view the maps in Mapsourse.

If I like the map set then I usually manually load all the files into the 1490 as per the standard method.

Thanks for your input.

[Surething]

What's different with this Image Original file compared to your original Image file on 23-04-14 ....

I haven't downloaded either of pietu's image files but a fair guess would be that the image in Post 1 was generated by MapInstall from the PC Version [Map Source Data] gmap folder. This map was only officially released on the Garmin servers a couple of days ago therefore on 23rd April nobody would have had access to download an original image to their unit using MapUpdater or GarminExpress for instance. The second of pietu's images posted on 1st May would be such an original [as he's indicated] and will have this in the Header: V 20.15, Ms 0, D248514AG03. The file generated by MI would initially have: V 0.00, Ms 1, 000-00000-00 i.e. the version and product number all zeros and the MS flag set as '1'. At least pietu would have changed the MS flag to '0' for sure before uploading i'll bet.

Other than that and possible adjustments to the info in Data MPS in the MI generated image, the actual mapping data will be the same in both. Many ppl simply prefer to use an original [or untouched] image as there is less chance of it being corrupt than with a generated image. On that subject, best to abandon MapSouce for any such generating and use only BaseCamp/MapInstall. MS is still fine for viewing maps [as you said in the post above] and other PC based tasks though, but the way MS compiles images is not fully compatible with modern CN maps.

Hi Surething

OK, so I've done it Tiny: . But I did muck about a bit before posting it, sorry. We'll soon see if anyone's interested I guess. No one has PM'ed me to ask about any other tuts yet. Funny that

I forgot a couple in that list of tuts, particularly convert nuvi 40/50 to 42/52. Some ppl might be interested in that conversion too. Very safe and gives the funky 2013 range icons:

Hi Surething,
That PGFT you wrote about isn't as easy to get hold of as I thought. Any chance of popping it onto Filefactory please?
thanks in advance either way,
phil

[Surething]

G'day Philbo,
Usually there's a degree of sarcasm implied when ppl do this to you: However that's not my intention at all. I'm unsure of the possible ramifications of (a) My posting a link here to a [nudge nudge, wink wink] concurrent GPS forum [actually I'm pretty sure it's quite frowned upon at the very least ], and (b) The attitude of the inventor and poster of the fine piece of kit known as PGFT if I uploaded his gem to a hoster site [actually iI think he'd be quite p*ssed off about that if I did it without asking him].

So no offence intended, that's just the best way for me to put you on the right track Mate!

[Philbo]

No probs. Surething. I think I saw it elsewhere but there may have been a registration involved and with me thinking that was just another source for the file it may have been easier to have it put up on filefactory or whatever.
I'm usually quite astute but the nudge, nudge, wink, wink did and still does confound me. It's not ringing bells for me. Maybe I should get out more!!
phil

[Surething]

If you're astute then i'm sure it's not the meaning of 'nudge nudge, wink wink' itself that confounds you, rather it's the reason why it's actually there that does. Top hit in the google search [nudge nudge, wink wink] my friend. Just click that.

Hi which jvc file for garmin 1390T??

would be nice if you include description so people know which JVC file to use

[Surething]

Easy to see what file your 1390 uses. Just look at the currently loaded file name, it will likely be D25631x0A.jcv depending on which map version you have loaded now. The number increases by 10 with each version usually. The previous 2014.40 was D2563130A.jcv, 2014.30 was D2563120A.jcv etc.

Take D2563140A.jcv for this map, but your unit can actually also use D3531110A.jcv the largest split-screen 212x234 picture size file as well. Btw, it's nice to say please too.

Thank you. So which one is better split screen or normal?? like for driving which one provides better detail and less confusing and not mix up the lanes lol
