Thread: nüviCam software summary

@BLUEDEVIL
When you check as Caty's suggested you'll find that it doesn't support gmap3d.img [3-D buildings and landmarks] unfortunately. It's probably closer in standard features to a 2599 than a 3597 really, but it does have the cool dash cam with Lane Departure & Forward Collision Warnings which i'd rather have instead of the distracting 3D overlays any day. Heavy little sucker though and half-hour battery life along with over 11oz weight makes it hopeless out of the car for pedestrian use. 6.1" is a handy size screen and it's got 480x800 pixels higher resolution like the 3997 too. Nice!:

It'll do nothing except take up space on unit or card sorry .

Any chance to see 3D landmark?

Nup, see above. If there is no reference to "3Dmaps"/"gmap3D" in the unit's GarminDevice.xml then as said by catymag 3D Buildings & Landmarks is not supported. Garmin could add support to future firmware versions if they wanted.

You won't see anything like that in nuvicam's xml file i'm sure. If you're a coder you might be able to reverse-engineer the firmware and add the function from another device's firmware but you'd have to be pretty dang good i reckon, enjoy a challenge and have a lot of time available [read that as 'maybe need to get a life' ].

Is this device accept "modifyed" map of other region?

I doubt that it does accept an 'unlocked' map if that's what you mean, if my guess is correct the fw is based on 2xx9: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

I want to buy it when it will be available in Germany (or other country with Digital traffic). But now i think, may be soon Garmin will release another model of NuviCam with 3D? "NuviCam 3D" And i need to wait some time?

Best address the question to Garmin regarding release of a 'model specific' nuvicam with 3D image support. But as far as Digital traffic is concerned that's already supported and in fact in EU the nuviCamLMT-D comes with the GTM70 [DAB/FM digital traffic and FM TMC receiver] in the box and that includes Germany. In North America, it's the identical unit hardware with GTM 60 HD Radio/FM receiver packed with the NA nuviCamLMTHD. I don't think you can buy retail nuviCam anywhere in those digital traffic markets without the digital traffic receiver packaged with it afaik anyway.
