    Default 3790t unlocked City Navigator map selected but shows blank... pls help!! :)

    Hi there,

    I've been going through the forum for a while now. Thanks to you guys I have my JCV and 3D maps working!!

    However, I have a problem. The latest City Navigator Southern Africa NT 2013.10 map shows blank on my Garmin. 3D buildings are there, and when I plot a route it shows only the route... Junction view works but the map itself is blank.

    I purchased the unit loaded for North America as South Africa did not have the unit at the time. Other maps that I've unlocked and loaded work fine, however then Junction View is missing again.

    I have downloaded the unlock map from this forum. It shows under my MAPS on my Garmin and I can select it. When it plots a route only the route shows in purple... Everything else shows blank.

    I have tried City Navigator Southern Africa NT 2012.40 as well with the same results.

    Sub-Saharan Africa Streetmaps 2012.1 work, but then Junction View is missing again, as only City Navigator maps support Junction view.

    I have tried selecting Streetmaps and City Navigator together. This shows a map, but junction view then stops working.

    Please, please help!! This is SO frustrating.... *BIG SMILE*

    Probably something wrong with your map: I unlocked the img downloaded from Noeman with Garmin Image Unlock gimgunlock , loaded it in Map folder in my 3790/34xx internal memory and the CN SA map shows normally.

    Deselect other maps covering the same are when using it.

    I'm running it on a 1300 no problem.
    I used Mapsource and downloaded to memory card.
    Lane Assist and JV works fine too.
    Maybe that Nuvi needs a Hard Reset.

    IMHO it's always better to use original maps, even better to use original Mapsource versions ,if available and unlock them with unlocking tools posted on forum: Gimgunlock for .imgs and Unlock MS directory for MS versions. It needs few seconds and you are sure the result is good. How can you know if the map is unlocked correctly downloading an unlocked map? If you do it by yourself it's better Try an hard reset too ,as our friend above told you

    Hi catymag!

    For a while now I suspected that there could be problems with the unit. Software updates would not load, and the City Navigator map would never work, even if I build it myself with Mapstudio. Other maps would load successfully. So I've followed your steps cure and then flash the device. Lo and behold, City Navigator maps now work... I've had endless problems, and from what I have observed it shows that a factory unit can have problems.

    To anyone else who cannot get something working after a big struggle:
    If all else fails, and you've tried every avenue, and you're prepared to take the risk, cure and then flash your Garmin as described here:

    or here
    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

    by the way... My Garmin was vanilla all the way... I've not modded it or done anything to the firmware... I've only ever unlocked maps and uploaded them. So there was no reason for it not to load the City Navigator map, yet it did not work till I cured and flashed the firmware... Go figure...

    This is a reply to an old thread, but I mostly the same thing happen to an unlocked CNSouthernAfrica 2013.10 maps. Like the original poster, my unit would only show the magenta route until I zoomed as close in as 30 miles. (At 50 miles all was blank behind the magenta route. As I panned around the map I had plenty of square miles to view on a 30-mile limit, but at 50 miles+ anyplace on the map it went blank. I love this forum and I'm still wading through for answers, but I predict somebody has solved this problem out there. I eagerly await finding that solution.
