Thread: wanted: thai language keyboard for gamin nuvi 1460

I tried to modify the american keyboard to make a thai qwerty keyboard but when load it the garmin unit shutdown. Don’t know it’s the layout conflict or missing keys.

Attached is the file. Can anyone help to troubleshoot?

first I would suggest you to use notepad++ to edit the file you can download it from sourceforge.net

here is why you have the problem but you might need to do it yourself since my new nuvi is 2350 and it has different button settings than 1xxx version

Basically your file has a few error.
1. the file has wrong encoding, the file must be encoded with UTF-8
2. the reason your unit shutdown when you turn it on because of line 7 content :<code_page>1252</code_page> it is in conflict with american english file. there can be only one code page of 1252 exist in the unit.
3. you need to make sure that you name the file in english language on the line 5. You can only name it in Thai language if you have th_TH.glx file which I don't have since my nuvi is bought in USA.

if you need any more help please let me know
