    Anyone please help!!!

    My gps is 255w originally US firmware but I converted it to sg/my 2.80 firmware. What I installed are Thai kb, Thai menu, the map (Thai version as a gmapprom), and the D1229030D JCV files.

    I have a weird problem. When I use it in Bangkok, everything works great. I can use all fuctions such as Jucntion view, highway mode (choose malaysia locales). But last week I brought this gps with me to Chiang Mai. When I tried to use it, the GPS coundn't calculate route at all no matter from POI searching or putting a new address of somewhere in Chiang Mai. I mean no route calculation, no pink line and the GPS just keep showing the messege "unable to calculate route to destination". However, when I removed the JCV file, the GPS worked normally again.

    Also,I try to use it as a "OFF Mode" and it shows that when I put the JCV file in the Unit. I can't simulate a route at all in every province of Thailand except in Bangkok.

    I doubt that this problem happened because I didn't install the Thailand basemap providing in this thread. When I check the basemap file, it is still the old one from US version (around 50mb). But I don't know that when I flash it from US to SG/MY firmware. It replace the basemap to SG/MY version or not.

    So, what I wanna try is deleting the old basemap (50mb) and I'll put the new one that provides in this thread but the Rapid link seems not to work. Could anyone please upload the Thailand basemap 3.00 in this thread again. Also, is my suspect right about this problem? Anyone please help and sorry for my English. Thanks in advance.

    I have the same unit with Malsing FW 2.8, using World basemap v3 and it always work in Chiang Mai. Anyway, have you tried a hard reset and let the unit sit for a few minutes under open sky to collect sat. information?

    Hi, hope this will explain Your problems:

    "ESRI (Thailand) Co., Ltd. has developed the new TSM version10.0 for deploying in the GARMIN GPS navigation devices that would meet the user requirements and support every function on all devices sold in the past and present-especially new functions requested by our customers such as realistic view of intersections which provide driving convenient for Thai drivers. Since then the company has received requests for adding more images. So the new version of Thailand map (TSM v.10.0) has increased this data-not only Junction View, but also other functions as well.
    After initial testing with the new data, the company found out that the new developments and enhancements might have resulted in side effect on few functions on previous GPS models that don’t support newer features such as Junction View, for example. The primary issue is the search function when you are searching for a place by using the “near…” button which sometime cause the unit to shut down prematurely or can’t find the city that you entered. Other than that you can still search for POIs or use other functions as usual.
    The company has worked closely with product manufacturer to urgently solve this issue. The manufacturer will develop the new version of firmware to remedy this problem which requires a period of development and testing. When the new firmware is ready for distribution to end users, the company will inform everyone via this website and by your email address (if you have already registered as member).
    By the way, you still can download or request TSM v.10.0 for normal operation by avoiding the about mentioned function. Finally, the company would like to apologize for any inconvenience that might have caused by this issue. If you find any other problems, please contact GARMIN customer care at 02-266-9948 or by email at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], so they would be solved as soon as possible."
