Hack nuvi

The should have SDHC support built-in. Are you sure it not recognizing the card at all, verus not seeing the map on the card? I am not sure if it not reading finding the map on the SD card or it is just not reading the SD card. I tried another SD card with no avail. When I go to maps in the menu, it says there are no maps installed thus no box to tick. I thouoght it prudent to provide an update. While many people seem to think the software is clunky, it does work. My LM is still kicking and in fact, I just updated to maps.

Jim mentioned earlier about the death of phone battery on GPS. I also noticed that my phone almost needs a small water cooled radiator during live maps use. This limits things considerably. We have a standalone GPS in each vehicle and one to use in rental vehicles I custom mount the GPS making swapping in or out not particularly easy but possible for updates.

After installing the Express software and playing with it a bit I seem to have few issues. It compares device software revisions to the latest and will tell you if you need to update. Since it only gets used a couple times per year, I see no reason to have it park itself as a resident on the computer. Not sure how it works in earlier versions of Windows. I loaded the NA maps, on the SD card no problem. But I also want the European maps. The particular Bay map I found instructed me to create the Garmin folder and call the NA file gmapprom.

If I give it the same name as the NA map gmapprom. What you might be able to do depending on how much space you have on your device is copy the NA map to the internal storage and the Europe map to the SD card.

I have the files downloaded and ready to install but cannot see hidden files. Like this: Like Loading Yeah its pretty cool even if my Nuvi is a 4 inch screen Like Liked by 1 person.

Name required. Follow Following. I brought a sansa mp3 player a couple of months back and was pleasantly surprised to find a program call rockbox that turned the unit into a dual boot device.

I think the Garmin firmware can use some enhancements. Their MP3 player only take mp3 files and is so limited in design. How about wma with drm for other audio books. Why limit the features on the nuvi to only road functions. Add a nice compass and tracking features like the more portable units. Why should we have to buy two units. One for the car and one for the woods.

I know Garmin makes more money. Please don't get me wrong. I like, even love, my nuvi ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more. And the waypoint and track style editors let you create your own map symbols, change track colors, and customize exactly how your GPS and map data is drawn.

ExpertGPS can do it 5x faster! Think about it:. Waypoint comments notes can contain up to characters. How long would it take you to enter all of those waypoints by hand into your GPS? ExpertGPS will save you hours on this one task alone!
