How to make a nuvi 2567 device supports Hebrew language?

**coukou** · 17th March 2014, 04:49 PM

Hello,

I'm using Garmin nuvi 2567 with Europe NTU 2013.41map.
I got success adding City Navigator North America and Israel maps. Tested, everything works just fine

However, the roads and names of the Israel map are displayed only in English. Moreover, although a X:\keyboards\he_IL.kbd file exists, I can not select a Hebrew keyboard.
Is there a way/trick to make this device supports Hebrew, So that it displays roads and name in English and Hebrew?

I'll appreciate any help

You can display Israel map with codepage 1255 in Hebrew if your device supports Hebrew locale.
CNNAM cant display in Hebrew.

TNX catymag for replying,
Although I've added Nuvi 2567\Map\CP 1252 gmapprom.img tested working English displayed, but still it doesn't display Hebrew WEIRD
What CNNAM stand for?
BTW, how could I know if my device supports Hebrew?
Finally, how can I make my device supporting Hebrew?

CNNAM = City Navigator North America
Try to do hard reset and when it asks you for country see if you can select Israel.

Here bellow the installed maps
the original map: CN Europe NTU 2013.41 Southern Europe as Nuvi 2567\.System\gmapprom.img
the added maps: City Navigator Israel NT 2015.10 as Nuvi 2567\Map\CP 1252 gmapprom.img
and and City Navigator North America NT 2014.40 as SD\Map\NorhAmerica.img

So, As I've these 3 maps installed, do I need to make a hard reset? If so, how to make it on my device?
Regards

I think a software update was available to display Israel map in Hebrew , not sure your device can get it, but try to run webUpdater.
Nuvi needs texts, language and keyboard
Yes English is 1252 CP

If catymag's suggestion in post #6 does not provide your unit with Hebrew, then see if clearing the non-volatile memory (commonly also referred to as NV or nonvol) helps. Step by step instructions here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

As this device is belong my friend, I've not webupdater installed on my PC and do not want to install and run it.
I already have the bellow keyboard and text files, isn't it?
Nuvi 2567\keyboards\he_IL.kbd, Nuvi 2567\.System\ExtData\006-D4511-01, 006-D4511-02.bin, 006-D4511-03.bin, 006-D4511-04.bin, 006-D4511-05.bin, 006-D4511-06.bin, 006-D4511-07.bin, 006-D4511-08.bin
So, Is somewhere files to add/copy?

Some devices are compatible with Hebrew locale some are not. If nuvi is not compatible you cant have those files.
Keyboard is not enough, you need voice for guidance and text for menus.

I cant find anymore Israel map page on Garmin site (weird)
In that page one could see which nuvi could download for free this software update to have Hebrew locale and display IL map in Hebrew.

Probably only compatible nuvi users who bought the map were entitled to download this update.
Choosing Hebrew locale and having 1255 codepage map, the map results in Hebrew, choosing English locale the same map is in English.

CP !252 map displays in English only and it's for is for Latin letters only and can work in units not listed as compatible by the original version for example Garmin Mobile PC and Garmin Mobile XT.
