City Navigator North America NT 2015.20

Who is going to start the 2015.30 thread?

Thanks for letting us know.

Let's start one on Monday

Downloaded it yesterday with Mapupdater and GE.

I'll wait to download.

Don't make us hunt you down, and hurt you...

I'm not ready fo 2015.20!

I used map updater and all went well. No problems at all and the map shows up in Basecamp as it should.
A much better map release than the one before.

just got my 2015.10 setup on my garmin.. Geeze here we go again.

Please. no, not already!

We will see how the new maps work for me.

I never seem to get this option when using GE. It just seems to rev itself up and start the download to the Nuvi automatically without any questions. I usually end up using MapUpdater afterwards to download it to the PC. MapUpdater asks you questions and gives you options. GE just says "Ready" and off it goes.

BTW, MapUpdater still works with my XP laptop, but it ALWAYS errors out on the first attempt. Second run always goes without a hitch. Thanks!

I noticed the new bypass off I65 through Georgiana AL was added with 2015.2.

It's not patently obvious, but poke around a little in the screens and you'll find it. Used it to update the computer, both the 255 and computer at the same time.

went real smoooooooot and fast with GE

My Maps has "CN North America NT" 2015.20 AL, trafficTrends North america 4.25.

Just up my Nuvi 2450 on SC card for the first time
This is what my SC Card has under "Map"
gmapupdate.gma, 3kb
gmapupdate.img, 2312.576
gmapupdate.unl

Is this what it should have? What about junction view files?

Also there is a gmappupdate.gsd, 0kb in Garmin

That looks correct to me although I don't have a 2450. My 2460 was still able to update all of North America internally so I haven't needed a SD card yet for it. Junction Views should display when you either drive or simulate a route with JVs--they're not listed as maps.

As long as your MyMaps has the 2015.20 checked and it works complete with JVs when you're on the road, you're correctly updated.

Is 2015.10 no longer offered in MyMaps? And you no longer have a large gmapprom.img in the nuvi storage, correct?

Can City Navigator NT be updated on my portable marine device (GPSMAP 276c, 376c, 378, 478)?

07/18/2014
City Navigator NT updates are no longer compatible with these devices due to both hardware limitation of the device and improvements in mapping technology.

Updating the map now

JCV file is probably on the Nuvi in the .system/jcv folder.

Will have to see if the large map is gone, it is not offered in my maps, only the new one is showing and checked.
Thanks for your help.
Mary

I thought the jcv would be on the SD card with the new map. Will look there. Thanks, Mary

It can certainly work from the SD card but the update process will normally place it on the Nuvi.

If you find it there and what to have it on the card just create a Garmin folder on the SD card and inside that folder create a JCV folder. Then move the JCV file from your Nuvi to the JCV folder on the SD card.

(Yes, it's the Garmin folder and not the .system folder on the SD card )

Thanks....

Installed this yesterday on a Nuvi 350 with no issues. Had to split the maps though to get the file under 2gb.

2015.2 added new road

I noticed the new bypass off I65 through Georgiana AL was added with 2015.2.

Probably not many of us would even know or care about this addition. I found this route to the FL panhandle 8 or 9 years ago. have used it ever since.

The speed trap cop in Georgiana probably is not happy

The Nuvi has
D3191090A.unl, 6-14-13
D3191140A.JCV, 8-18-14
So it did put it on my Nuvi. Do I need it on the sd Card or will it work ok with the maps on the SD card and the JCV on the Nuvi?

And thanks again for the support.
Mary

Works just fine with the JCV on one device and the maps on the other.

The JCV file is the correct split screen file for JVs with the 2015.20 map. It should work fine where it is--and if moved to the SD card, it should work as well. I expect you have oodles of free space on the nuvi now that the map is on the SD card so I see no reason to move the jcv file off the nuvi.

I expect the old unl file you reference was from an older City Navigator update as I remember seeing an odd unlock file associated with a JCV file in a single past map update. As far as I remember, this JCV unlock issue only was offered one time, then Garmin went back to JCV files with no unlock file needed. I expect that your unl file (for the JCV file, NOT the City Navigator MAP file!) is tiny, so you can leave it there. If you want to consider removing it, I suggest first renaming the file to something like D3191090A.unl.disabled and see if all continues to work. If so, you could delete the file from the nuvi. (You do have a computer backup in case it's ever needed, right?)

But all in all, everything looks good. I had wondered why you needed to move the map from your nuvi 2450 to a SD card when my nuvi 2460 didn't need to do that, but then I checked and see that the 2450 is a 4GB device while the 2460 is an 8GB device.

update, got the upgrade on after 3 trys. Wouldn't work through express so I had to do it another way.

Thanks, Mary

Just looked and I have 2.08 GB free.
I will leave the JCV file on the unit as you and BoxCar both said it was ok.

When I bought the 2450 I did not think to look at the size of the device. Sounds like it will work ok with the map on the SD card so I should be ok for now.

Just told my husband I needed a larger unit, his coment "you have one built-in in the car so the Nuvi you have should be good enough" Well, it looks like he will use the one in the car every time I want a new Nuvi.... I had to talk him into the one in the car as he didn't see spending all that extra so I don't have any room to negotiate.

Thanks, Mary

@Mary ... tell your husband you need the new nuvi for when you are touring in that beautiful BelAir!

Thanks, That might just work....
Didn't think of that.

Thanks, Mary

I too waited to install the last version. I think I will stay behind until there is talk of 2015.30 being released.

Thanks Box Car. I'll look harder for it next map release. No big deal as I always download the map in two separate steps anyway: Nuvi first, computer later when I get around to it. (not every map release)

An issue was reported over on the Garmin software forum regarding a problem with the 2015.20 CN NA map update for the RV760 device. Apparently the map update deleted the RV Parks and Services data base. Garmin has released a fix for this problem, so if you have the RV760 you will want to run the map update again.

What seems to be the latest date for release?

Cheers

Whew

I'm not sure I understand your question, but City Navigator NA 2015.20 was released on Wednesday August 13/2014.

In GE when it shows you install maps 2015.2, click on the 'advanced options'. There are 3 options.

Thanks for sharing

I had an internet outage at work for the past 6 days and got it back up this afternoon so I will have to give it a try in the morning.
6.0 meg at work is always faster than the 1.5 meg at home.

Liking this update.

I still haven't loaded the last update yet!

Well... Just had to delete GE because it is locking up on the splash screen and will not go further.

Now the new version 3.2.17 will not make it past there either.. This is on Win 7 Pro

Finally got it to work and downloading it now.

Not sure what you mean – there are two splash screens associated with a Garmin device – one shows during the “pre-boot” stage and another during the stage when the firmware is loading. The second splash screen stays on the device when the device is connected to a computer and stays there for the duration of the connection. There is nowhere “further” for GE to go on that screen.

I think he means the Garmin Express splash screen that appears when you start up GE.

Ok - I see what you mean - but I would not call that a splash screen.
