Multiple maps on nuvi 1XXX series

@alucchesi
Do a backup of any files you want saved, then do a hard reset. (With the unit off, hold a finger in the bottom RH corner of the screen and turn it on. A message will pop up 'Do you really want to erase all user data?', select 'Yes'). Then place the unit in an outdoor location with a clear view of the sky and it should get a satellite fix, but initial fix may take longer than usual.

What with the JVC is goig to normal folder .System/JVC ???

**Neil** · 2nd August 2013, 12:59 AM

Either of these 2 paths will work:

unit:/.System/JCV/correct_jcv_ filename.jcv
or
card:/Garmin/JCV/correct_jcv_ filename.jcv

If we use the roadguide map, will jcv still work? Or do we have to use the cityguide philippines 2012 map

You must only use a jcv file which has been made for a particular map and that even includes within the same series [i.e. a jcv from a previous version of the same map series will not work with a later map version, and one from a different map series certainly won't work].
NB: This thread is about multiple maps on 1xxx series. JCV questions are a little OT really.
