Thread: Disable Nuvi Map Update Message

Could someone point me to any method to disable the Map Update startup prompt, as I am using some community maps but not their official maps.

Thank you in advance

I think this means that your map is at least one year old, maybe there really are updates? Community maps change often.
If you have map in Mapsource, then you can try to send it again to nuvi.

I was never able to test that kind of problem. My first try would be to load img form nuvi to gmaptool and to refresh img header, this is option on "Write" tab of program, mark checkbox "Refresh header date", leave date fields empty and click "Write all".

The pesky message "Your Maps Are Out Of Date"

This utility should help: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Use it as follows:
1) Fully boot your device.
2) Press the battery icon until an engineering menu appears
3) Connect the device to PC
4) run start.bat by double clicking it

In case of success the utility will print a text similar to the following:

Code:
M:\WORK\GARMIN\[UTILS]\mupd-clr\Release>mupd-clr.exe
map update message remover v0.1 by kunix
Initializing USB...
hwid = 596
swvr = 490
name = n№vi 670 Software Version 4.90

Initializing USB once again...
removing the map update message...
all done

M:\WORK\GARMIN\[UTILS]\mupd-clr\Release>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

Tried it but no luck.

The start batch executed with some SetupInDev error after the Initializing USB line.

On the enginnering menu, the USB cable is shown not connected, although under normal mode I could read Garmin drive etc.

Any clues ?

I am using Nuvi765 with Windows 7.

This is where things fall over for me: to connect to the PC I have to open the battery door, which switches it back into "Close the door" mode. When I connect the cable it goes straight to mass storage mode.

How do I get it to stay on when I open the door?

Have you installed Garmin USB drivers?

I have no problem connecting the Nuvi except Engineering mode, any difference?

You can access it in mass storage mode with a bare Windows installation. But engineering mode requires installing the drivers mentioned above.

Will try then, Thank you !

What device do you own? That tp2168 quote of my post is valid mainly for nuvis. The battery icon is inside the red circle:
