German (Deutsch) SRD file for Nuvi3790

**tom1807** · 16th January 2013, 07:47 AM

I have a weird problem with my Nuvi3790 TWN.
When I got the Nuvi around 1 year ago, I made an update and it got also the SRD file for German (Deutsch_.srd).
However, in my update craziness (always the latest) I also updated with one of the map which was offered from here the Deutsch_srd.
Since then, when I switch my Nuvi to German, and select on the main screen ASR, nothing happens.
No sound, no reaction, just nothing.
hardreset, clear NVM didn't help, the webupdater, Garmin Express or MyDashboard won't offer it anymore for download
Honestly I am worried that I probably installed the SRD file for the 3490 series (not sure whether there is even a different version).
However, can anyone please be so kind and upload the Deutsch_.SRD for a Nuvi3790
MY SRD file has a leength of 3,074,989 bytes.
Btw. not sure whether its a good idea, but could we maybe have a collection of different SRD files?
Maybe even, if there are different versions, for different Nuvi models?

Cheers
Tom

Have You tried to remove Deutsch_.SRD from \.System\ASR
Then Reboot nuvi and then run Webupdater.
Might Work.

The German SRD files in my 3490 & 3590 are named de_DE.srd and have 2,293,772 bytes. My 3790 file is Deutsch_srd and has 3,074,989 bytes, same as yours. As my 3790 is currently running as 3490, I can't test the 3790 German ASR unfortunately but here's the srd file:

Hi Neil,
You file the same result, no go.
Binary compare turned out that your file and mine are exactly the same.
Thanks for your support
Interesting part is, when I go to Voice customization to edit the voice command, it always stays at 0% strong and I never can hit "Done".
I have now different theories:
Either Garmin broke the functionality
or one of the text files (glx) don't fit for the SRD.
Navigation commands are given

Some ideas.

Have you tried English ?
Does it work in English ?

Have you tried to remove all files from unit.
Reboot
Load new Files from Webupdater.

"Maybe a corrupt region ?"

Or If you have full backups of your nuvi you could try to go back to a version when it was still working. !

Thanks for the answer.
English works, Chinese works, when removing German, its not offered again for download.
I still might have the original backup, however first I will try to flash an older version and try

Update:
Nothing worked, downgraded to v2.10 of the Firmware, the ASR button shows up, but nothing happens.
test with British English, works.
Test with Indonesian TTS: ASR button is gone, same with Japanese
Locales.xml is still the original one.
installed Europe map for test including ASR and SRX files.
No German
Next test will be with French and Italian

"installed Europe map for test including ASR and SRX files."

I have read somewhere that you have to install the Whole of Europe [ALL]

**Neil** · 18th January 2013, 10:59 PM

Same with NA. You must have full NA map, or at least all of US & CA, not part. Garmin, ahhh.

Ref: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
From Post 1 there, quoting Garmin:
............. For example, if your device was preloaded with Europe,
> you'll need to install Full Coverage of Europe.
>
> North American devices are the only exceptions. For North American
> devices, you may load either Full Coverage of North America or US &
> Canada. However, other smaller regions will NOT work with voice command.

Although i haven't tried it, i reckon the above applies to Australia etc. The full map is reqd or no working ASR.

Don't worry, I had the complete Europe map installed, that's why next test with French and Italian.
Keep you updated.
Otherwise I give a visit to Garmin
