2013.30 NA

Darn, I was afraid of exactly that issue. I guess I'll remain dependent upon folks with nuvi 7x5 map updates to offer the JCV file to us in the future.

Does anyone have an understanding of why, even when there is plenty of storage available, the larger split screen JCV file is not downloaded during update?

I have a 2370 that I have installed the Europe maps to SD card giving me over 2gb free internal. When I recently updated to NA 2013.30 my large file of 400+mb was removed in favor of a JCV of around 150mb.

This really makes no sense when there is 2gb free. I know the large file exists but it won't be installed during update. If Garmin has all this junction data why wouldn't they give it to you? Am I missing something incredibly obvious?

BTW, I've been lurking here for a few months and have learned much from all the helpful members of this forum. Thanks to all of you. Scotty

Using Garmin Map Updater, I was able to load 2013.30 onto an SD, which uses 1.6GB on the card, then 200MB or so of basemap and such stays on unit. Whatever map that remained on unit was wiped by installer.

I see talks about JCV, but I don't even see a JCV folder inside the system folder.

Can I use JCV with 1350? How do I go about installing it once I get my hands on the large file? Can someone help me out? That link still is getting me to bandwidth exceeded error.

Your 1350 does not have the junction view feature.

I know I'm late getting here but I've just emailed you.

I, too, have a 1490T that works great.

For folks looking for the large jcv file offered by rame1012 (the 774,550 KB full screen JCV file in a 756.4MB zip file to be used with the current 2013.30 map update), I just checked and dropbox is again allowing downloads of it:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mka71p3saa16il6/qqiYV2tIxJ

Hurry, though, as after some number of downloads, dropbox will likely again suspend access to the file.

Good luck all.

It downloaded just fine.

no large JCV file going forward irritates me. Part of my decision when I purchased my device was "LMT" and the Junction View feature.

I see my only option going forward is no more map updates unless someone can turn up the large JCV file and share it

Look back two messages from yours....

thanks for your reply. Somebody else gave me access to the new file last week and it's working well. I'm just thinking about the next update and whether we'll have any access to the large JCV file.

The dropbox mentioned has 3GB limit per month.
PS: On my recent trip to TN AR KY & Branson MO, I was impressed with all of the photo-real images. Some of the non-interstate highways also displayed junction views.

Yowser, that's only about four downloads per month. I wonder how I managed to be one of them when it was first posted.

This definitely isn't a great solution given the number of us needing the file. Bummer.

But only because I don't understand.
Dropbox still shows I have 757MB used of 3GB. I see that at least 7 people have downloaded my shared file. Does that mean that I can HOST 3GB of files each month?
Rame1012 writes that he plans to leave the current JCV file up until the new one is released.

I found this in dropbox's support section:

Bandwidth limits

If your account hits our limit, we'll send an email notification to the email address registered with your account. Shared links will be temporarily disabled, and those who try to access the links will see an error page instead of your file.

So it may be that 25+ folks can download the large JCV/ day with no problems. What I didn't see in the support faqs was any statement about how long a suspension will last once it's kicked in.

One option for us and future map updates would be to set up a support page using PayPal or something to contribute and let the host of the file download upgrade to a premium account that allows more activity per day.

HI.. what do you have installed on your PC that informs of you of NEW updates?

Thanks

I am a member of poi-factory. News of updates are published here before anywhere else. Stay tuned.

Had no problems when i updated

I have 'Garmin Lifetime Updater'. It is an .exe program, and tied to the owner's specific Garmin GPS unit (with model number & serial number). I keep a shortcut of the 'Garmin Lifetime Updater' .exe program on my PC's desktop where I can just click on it and it will tell me if there are any map updates for my Garmin unit. Works like a charm!

Or make a Wiki. You can put files there to download and the site is free.

Hi Koot...I had Garmin Lifetime Updater.exe sitting on my PC & I thought I had installed it. So I'm DL'ng the latest version. Thanks.. BTW: Will GLU automatically DL its latest version?

Cheers

PJGMIG - Yes, I always use the GLU to download the latest version without any problems. It always works like a charm every time for me...

One issue with the lifetime updater is it is an agent which sits running on your computer all the time consuming some (nominal but not zero) resources and must be loaded at every boot, but only needs to run four times a year.

One other issue is that for folks who routinely monitor the Garmin forum here (even if just around map update availability dates), users who are Factory readers will find out about and be able to use myGarmin/myDashboard to update their maps sooner than if they wait for Lifetime Updater to report a update's availability, almost without exception.

Additionally, for folks here with older nuvis that offer Junction View who get a tiny default JV with each map update, they can hold off on doing the update until they see that the large JCV file is available for manual installation to the new map update.

Thanks, going to try it out soon

Maps installed and look great on my new cpu w/windows 8.

Thanks! Worked like a charm for me.

The correct JCV file for 2013.30 NA is D3478060A.JCV
Can be downloaded from torrent

http://torcache.net/torrent/363932BE921AB8F72BB8F64643FDB130...

Location in sd/garmin/jcv as usual.

...yours is not the only correct JCV file, as you imply in your post. rame1012's file is just as correct, and likely to be more popular than yours. Reason?

rame1012's file provides photoreal junction views, meaning it looks like a camera image. Thus each image in the file takes up more data. Yours use a generic background and have elements added to the top of it, thus a smaller file size.

Thank you for the link however. Someone strapped for space will appreciate it.

"LegalDude" advising downloading from torrent... that right there is funny - I don''t care who you are... LOL...

^This^

Freakin' hilarious!

Have to admit, the irony wasn't lost on me. However, didn't Garmin mention they had no issue with sharing of the JCV files?

Hi...I just dl 2013.30 NA to my PC.. What is the simplest method to put on my G465T ?

Is it to just copy City Navigator North America NT 2013.30.gmap folder to my SD card into my Garmin folder?

It wouldn't work if you copied the .gmap folder as that is specifically for BaseCamp. Run MapInstall to copy the maps to the GPS.

Very interesting.... run mapsource and then use the built-in feature in Mapsource to put files on my GPS. How does it differnetiate between my GPS and a SD card ?

It's recommended to use MapSource over MapInstall. It's explained why and how to do the following in tutorial 5.

Here's another link explaining the same but which is somewhat easier in understanding.

Have fun and let us know how it went

You could have loaded the maps to both the PC and 465 in one operation.

Thanks, yes you are correct.. I was having issues so tried to simplify it. I looked at the above process on how to load from PC to SD card/GPS, it appeared to my simple mind to be more than I could handle. I will dl only to SD card with high speed connection.

Hi.. here we go again... I DL'd the maps to my SD card, went well.

Now I look at my SD card and I see the prev version there..

1) Should I delete those files ?

2) Should I rename the ones which were just DL'd to the file ext mentioned by ALANB?

Source:

when putting on SD card... Rename files to
-gmapsupp.img, gmapsupp.gma and gmapsupp.unl

tnx

did u type something?

I think you may delete the old files to free up some space.

THANK YOU !!

I updated today on my 3790LMT using the express and then I looked at my JCV file on the unit and it showed D3191070A.JCV with a size of 448 KB. In reading this thread I found the large JCV file is D3060080A.JCV with a size of 774,500 KB. I downloaded that file from Drop box and thank you.

Question: Can I just delete the smaller JCV file from the device and replace it with the larger one by copying it from my PC or is there an installation necessary?

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Aren't we on 2013.40, now?

Not yet. Hopefully this week.

What is the number of the latest available garman north america NT map?

The current map is 2013.30. Maybe ... this week we will see 2013.40.

I had the same issue - no map shown... very frustrating! Yes using Garmin Express - after several tries, finally installed.

Thanks. Time to load up.
