I normally use WebUpdater or Garmin Express to install the latest FW. How do I flash old FW to the unit?

Drag the 'nuvi13xxand14xxseries_GCDFile__540.gcd' file onto the WebUpdater desktop icon with your 1490 connected. Safely disconnect from PC, when it reboots you'll be asked if you want to install the older software. Press 'Yes' and it will downgrade. Clear NV or hard reset before and after.

Wow! That's all? I was expecting something way more complicated.
Will report back later today once carried out.

Have a look in Garmindevice.xml
If you get this <PartNumber>006-B0972-00</PartNumber> then your device uses the Non-MTK Firmware that Neil Suggested.
I think that you Nuvi thinks that it is brand new. Have you driven a distance of 30 Km or more while connected to the car charger.Last edited by dasilvarsa; 27th November 2013 at 08:29 PM.

Yes, that turns out to be the correct version. Here's what I did next: Originally Posted by dasilvarsa

3. Cleared NVM.
4. Verified FW version in System Info: it is now v5.4:
5. Loaded FW v6.2 (recent most version via WebUpdater).
6. Cleared NVM.
7. Used GPS in car and driven for about 5 minutes at speed > 50 km/h (proper satellite signal).
8. Switched unit off and back on again.
EULA still shows every start-up.

Only now I see the 30 km distance mentioned. No, I did maybe 3 or 4 km (few blocks around the house). Would that make a difference? Originally Posted by dasilvarsa

YES!!! That did the trick! Originally Posted by Roger

Just out of curiosity... I have another n�vi 1490 which still has the \.System\EULA folder in place and does NOT show the EULA screen on start-up. As a learning point... what would have been the "natural" way for the EULA screen to be killed? Is it the 30 km distance that has to be driven?
