Thread: Map requirements for Drive 61 GPS

@mpilihp

We cannot make wild guesses, having no idea of your custom map parameters, for example: map format (?), codepage in LBL's (?), etc.

Put another way, if your custom map is created correctly and it's not NT and not unicode, it should be displayed by your Drive 61 without patching its firmware.

So I verified I can make a map and load it on my older Nuvi 1490 that the map works on and place it on the Nuvi 65LM and it doesn't work. The map file includes a base layer from Topo US 2008 map and the trails layer with the trails. Both display on the 1490 but on the 65LM just the Topo layer displays. If I unselect the topo layer then the trails layer still does not show. So I believe it is being created correctly or as the GPX2IMG program intended to but it doesn't work on the 65LM. I can send you a copy of the img file if that would help you identify what is wrong or if I need to patch the firmware??

Thank you for your help

I asked you about this a month ago yet, however you're still going round in circles ...

Hi thank you, I PM'd you asking for how I can send it, like an email address?

Thanks
