I do know that the ASR files are indeed different from 2010.40 and 2011.20 releases. If the 2010.40 ASR's are used on 2011.20 map, Find Address fails. When corrected by using matching ASR files for the map are loaded, Find Address works OK (885T is the only unit I can verify this required matching of files on). Are they the same for 3790? Doubt it but do not know. Had a 3790LMT here yesterday but it had old maps (2010.10) so I did not check the ASR files as I do not have a 2011.10 set of 885T ASR files to compare it to. I am so stupid to not have at least looked at them while the unit was in my hands, but I am certain they would not work on my 2011.30 885T. Every 885T I have updated (4 so far) failed the Find Address though many other command DID function properly, unless I used the proper ASR files for the gmapprom.img file.

01XS2BR4.SRX 1.6MB
01XS2BR5.ASR 45KB
01XS2BR6.ASR 1.02GB <--- much larger
01XS2BR7.ASR 113.4MB

I did see that 2011.20 files were available, but I didn't bother with that release because the ASR files are about 1/2 the size of the 2011.10 files I have. It seems there are at least two different sets of ASR files, the larger set seems to include the necessary data to understand Canadian cities and street names. I know this because when I first got my DNX9960 with 2010.10 map, the ASR files were also about half the size. With that release I had to search for addresses with the keyboard, but after I upgraded to 2011.10 (with the much larger ASR files) I magically was able to search Canadian addresses with voice commands. Since I'm living in Canada this is a pretty important to me.

WOW! I have never seen ASR's that big! Where did you get them, please? Never seen those around at all. Got to wonder what in hell is going on with Garmin to release files that do and then do not work in CA... Sort of makes our US 885T North America coverage rather meaningless, no? Do not know if my 2011.20 works in CA as I have not been there since getting my 885T but do plan to within the next year or two. Have not seen a lot of discussion on this topic since we are in the definite minority with Voice Command units. I have not seen o1xs... files as well. There appears to be many many ASR versions around, but do not know how to get an index of them. It would sure help out in the dilemma. I know that my 885T works 100% with the 2011.20 files but now, looking at your disfunction in CA without the correct files I am fairly certain mine will not work there. Wonder of wonders. Anyone out there got any further info on these ASR miseries, esp CA folks since these files seems so out-sized compared to our US files?

Well, I have a feeling that the ASR files, yes I am fully aware they are map dependent, however, for the 37xx will NOT be fully functional on 8xx units, unless I miss my guess on how the algorithms work. Why, because the 3790 I played with has far less function by voice than the 8xx units - i.e. voice does not seem to control the entire unit, just a pull down menu of a couple of options. JCV files are very different between these two units as well. Getting bummed out here not finding the files I need to use these updated maps on my 885T without losing voice command Find functions. And how is it that we are installing 2011 3rd quarter maps in 2010 anyways?

Looks we need D1279080A for our 885T's to have the correct JCV file. Anyone got it?
Looks we need 01Yxxxxxx for our 885T's ASR files for complete Voice Command Functionality. Anyone got them?

The JCV file offered in post #1 is not correctly numbered to follow our scheme it appears. The one offered is numbered D2339030A but may work. I have not tested it. Perhaps this one is for the 37xx et al series...

Does any one have trafficTrends for 2011.30 NA a DB file which is in SQLite folder... And also nüRoute G2S file for the same..

this post by Ballebar in new CNEU thread ,I think can close this long discussion about ASR files
