I'm really confused (location of the jcv file)

Same results for me.

There are numerous posts regarding this file. It is only on those units that have junction view.
I have seen referance to it being in the .system folder as well as Garmin/jvc folder.

What Garmin device do you have? If you let us know that, we can tell you exactly where it resides.

I have a 3790lmt. I can't find the jcv file either.

On my 765T, the .jcv files (one of them is .SUM) are in the "Nuvi"\Garmin\JCV folder

The JCV file on my 3760 is in the Nuvi\.System\JCV folder.

Edit: Properties shows it to be 97.2 MB.

is the model excuse me for not adding that large bit of information. I've read what everyone has said and what is on several other sites and using the mac it doesn't list the files in the folders corresponding to jcv files. I saw it once for a split instance because I had never seen it before and I haven't since. It was in New Orleans when I did see the junction view. I just wanted to see what mine was like is all and to try putting the maps on a micro SD card.

I don't see a nuvi file in the Garmin sub folder.

My ".System" folder is not in the "Garmin" sub folder.

When I hook my 3760 to the computer and the Garmin Nuvi window appears, there is a ".System" folder in the window, located just above the "Garmin" folder. The JCV folder is in that ".System" folder.

That first red arrow should be pointing to the line above.

Just found my junction view file.

Folder Options...Show hidden files...

Garmin nuvi/.System/JCV/D3191010A.JCV...

237 MB

I'll have to try it on a pc because I can't find where on a mac to turn hidden files on.

It works with a PC but I couldn't find out how to turn on the hidden files in a Mac.

Can you send me your 237 MB jvc file lost mine in the update

Robert

You'll get another one shortly. New maps are due anytime now.

Where is it in the 3790lmt. Just looked for it and could not find it.

Scroll up and read Gary Hayman's post. It tells you how to find the file.

This is what I found in my PCs 765T 2012.10 backup:

C:\NUVI backups\GARMIN\JCV\D3060010A.JCV
5/29/2011 367,560 KB

My JCV file is now D3191020A.JCV... 446 MB

Anywhere you can upload it?

All, great information. I will be coming to the USA at the end of the month on vacation. I will need to add the maps via my microSD card, can you let me know which files I need for to ensure that the 3d and junction views will operate correctly.

Thank you in anticipation!

mgarledge - Are you using a 2450LM? I have one that is showing currently:
D3191010A.JCV 243,431KB right now (before the 2012.2.

Thought I would check before I took the plunge.

I went ahead and took the plunge and installed the new update.

Details:
Previously: Installed US and Canada maps
D3191010A.JCV 243,432KB (on version 2012.1)

Installed the 2012.2 version (just US maps this time - not sure if it made a difference or not)
D3191020A.JCV 457,055KB

Sorry for not seeing your question sooner. Yes, my Nuvi is 2450LM. I install all the maps offered, so you probably would have received the same JV. if you install everything.

My post on 8/6 showed I had the 243 jv with the 2012.1. Looks like the made our jv larger this time.

Looks like you are new here. Welcome to this great site!!

Did you get a jv file. Don't have any place to upload.
