Hi,
Do Garmin devices like the Montana run some kind of operating system? Can we write some kind of application for it and run like Window CE?

No addition applications available in all Garmin device! All functions are in firmware that is extremely specific for programming...

Choose Garmin Mobile XT when generating unlock code. Good luck and pay attention to the instructions.

I got a new android phone and can't. Use Mobile XT anymore. Which Garmin nuvi should I buy to get junction view on Chinese maps (On Pinyin maps would be great, but CHN will be ok as well) It seems only the older 3 digit devices support Chinese maps with jcv. Will it work on Nuvi 24xx or 25xx? I'd like to be able to use the device on holidays in EU or AU as well.

Thanks for your help.

Is there any possibility to open V2 topo maps on a Garmin 525S device?
I would like to use the Garmin Topo V2 where no sea chart has coverage.
When I try to open a topo V2 map the plotter says that the chart format is not supported.
It is no problem to open V1 Topo Maps

I see that Garmin Topo Sweden V2 maps are compatible with most of the gpsmap series, etrex, nuvis even zumos so wondering what is the problem runnig the map on gpsmap 525s. Maybe different map format than V1? Could be NT vs. non-NT. Maybe something in the header of the map prevents the map from running. Need exploring deeper the problem.

Try use Gmaptool:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

1) Open gmapsupp.img file
2) Go to Option tab and tag Experimental Options.
3) Go to Write tab, tag TRE parameters and then type (2)=4, (3)=23. 4) Press Write all at the end.
4) Put SD to the plotter and give us to know result...

Do not forget keep reserve copy of original gmapsupp.img on PC!

Now it is possible to open the map but it looks a little bit strange forest is black spots an open landscape is gray green.
See the attached image.

This non readable picture is normally for all marine device with NT maps! No roads and trails are visible in forest. TYP file may cure it! Unfortunately Garmin do not want make support for TYP file in marine device!
