Thread: Alternative Nuvis Firmwares

i have a 1300 device... and i really need truck mode... wich firmware can i load to have it?

I would like to flash a nuvi 1300 to nuvi16xxNA_regionfileonly__390.gcd
I made US 510 (boot.bin) US (390 FW_all.bin) US 390 (resources.bin) HW id 972 rgn file using RGN tool.
The firmware did not flash succesfully and the nuvi became unbootable. It had some firmware mismatch errors, I think it was FTL (I have since fixed the nuvi)
I used JPN nuvi1365 version 300 and the Nuvi is working fine. (I can go back to US 580 no Problem)
My question is.
Is it possible to flash nuvi 16xx firmware to a Nuvi 1300 ?
Can you please give me some tips on how to do it sucessfully.
Thanking you.

Yes, possible but no sound. I think 16xx series use different speakers than 13/14 series.

Thanks for quick reply,

So it's no use to even try.

So is JPN the only firmware that I can flash to have custom routes enabled or is there any other firmware that will also have custom routes ?

Thanking you.

Well, all firmwares have routes the question is how to enable them. I think there was also one more Chinese firmware that can enable routes on nuvi 13xx but...I am not sure. In the opposite there is Alexanders2010 custom firmware that also have that possibility (and many others):

I'm really looking for a Garmin Chinese Version that can enable routes.(nuvi 1300)

It is not Chinese version. It is Deluxe

Looks like Japanese version for nuvi 1365

Deluxe includes various hidden and unfinished features and functions from Asian firmwares and exclusive pathes.
