Nuvi 650 Update Issue
  15 years
|
I updated my Nuvi 650 yesterday. Then I went to Tools, Map, then Map Info at the bottom of the screen. It beeps but doesn't go to the info screen. Last year when I updated I had to go there to select the map, I can't this time. What have I missed when I updated??? Here's what I did:
+ I have an 8g SD card in my Nuvi
1) I used a 15g flash drive with only \Garmin on it.
2) I copied GarminDevice.xml from the Nuvi to this directory.
The files installed on the Nuvi, in the Garmin directory are: gmapbmap.img with no date and gmapprom.sum dated 3/31/11.
3) I disconnected my Nuvi and ran Garmin MapUpdater. It d/l gmapprom.img gmapprom.gma, & gmapprom.uni to flash drive.
4) I then copied the 3 files (.img, .gma, .uni) from the flash drive to the SD's \Garmin folder.
The Nuvi seems to work ok, haven't really been out to checked it. I'm wondering why I can't pull up Map Info from it.
Did I miss something?
Rename
You need to rename the files on the SD card from gmapprom.* to gmapsupp.img, gmapsupp.gma and gmapsupp.unl.
Here is a FAQ detailing the "cloning" method for installing a map: http://www.poi-factory.com/node/39231

Ok, that did it. I can now
Ok, that did it. I can now access Map Info and it shows the map name that I loaded. Thanks, I guess I missed that step.
