Lost Custom Vehicle After Upgraded Nuvi to 6.20

 

FYI...

After upgrading my Nuvi 350 to the latest software from the Garmin site, I noticed my custom vehicle was no longer displayed and wasn't selectable, even though it was still in the vehicle folder. I found that if you restore a copy, overwriting the existing file, it will once again be usable. Just throwing it out there!

Interesting, when I updated

Interesting, when I updated the software on my 350 some time ago, I didn't have the same experience. My custom vehicle icon stayed in place with no problems noticed.

I assume your use of "custom vehicle" means that it wasn't a Garmin supplied vehicle.

I had that also, with one of my custom vehicles. One day its there and next day its gone. Still lists on the unit but its not usable. Deleted it and put another copy of it on. Same thing would happen. When i convert it to a png to view it shows up as something completely different. Delete it....move on. All my other vehicles are fine.

Edit:
I just noticed that my two pedestrian icons are no longer accessible. Maybe you have something here. I just updated to version 4.10 3 or 4 days ago. All was fine prior to that. I'll have to play around a bit.

The more i play with it the more it goes weird.
Got vehicles loaded that don't show up and have vehicles showing up that have bin deleted. I've gotten fresh files and still it goes weird. One would think that all you would have to do is delete the srf file in Vehicles and it should be gone. Then copy one in there and it should be there. When i look at the files in Vehicles it jives with what i want. Not even close when i fire up the unit though. Makes no sense.

Custom Vehicle

Do you remember the name of it & some sort of description? Maybe someone here has it and can send it to you to reload yourself.

Good source

To add to the last comment, I highly recommend the website www.vehiclesforgarminnuvi.com

High quality stuff, and all free.

And yes, if you would let us know what your vehicle was, perhaps someone can assist.

I remember one person once asked an SRF of a forklift. I wasn't able to help him at the time, but I know if I ever find one... I'd also enjoy any type of professional rig - a crane, a tractor, anything of the same bottle. If someone has such items, would they share ?

This is a great site that I forgot about thanks.

They even have an RSS Feed

That helps me "not forgetting" them smile

Fixed

No idea why this should be this way. I ended up deleting all the vehicles. Then when selecting a vehicle a window came up and told me to go to garmin to get some. Then i just reloaded my custom vehicles and all was fine. Frustrating, i had vehicles showing up that were deleted. Some were listed in the directory but i could not select them. If i turned the unit off and then on, some would disappear. Easy fix from now on, if it happens again. This should work for you also
