Thread: Garmin City Navigator India NT 2012.30

Got hold of a map and jcv file meant for an India unit. Here's the JCV file for the map [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Please do not use it in a Nuvi that does not support Junction View, as it might cause booting issues

I had a very strange experience with this. I put the map and JCV folder into my ipod and as expected I could get both LA and JV as in the pic below



Now for the strange part. I then thought I'd just verify if the LA was from the map or whether from the jcv file as suggested by Neil. So I used the old image posted in this thread with the JCV file and again got both LA and JV. Then I used just the new map file without the JCV folder. Got LA without JV. Now the even stranger part. Then I used the old file without JCV. Again got LA without JV! I rechecked, deleted the files instead of just renaming them and it still was the same. I also made sure I was killing the Garmin IOS program before re-checking. So now, I'm getting LA using the file which did not have LA enabled before! Inexplicable!

So, someone with a Nuvi (preferably a large screen one as the JCV was meant for a unit with 800 x 480 resolution), please check and report if you get both LA and JV or just JV. Please check the simulation on a prominent multi lane road in a major city like Mumbai or Delhi. I made a cursory check of the 2 map files, both are exactly the same size and have very few differences. If the LA is from the device map file, I'll try to make a patch file for the image posted in this thread.

Request a mod to please post the jcv link in the first post. On a side note, I really love this forum (may not be obvious with only a few posts to my name) and I love reading up the posts by the various experts here. And in no other forum have I seen an admin as warm, helpful and patient as Catymag!

We don't see this enough in my opinion. Caty deserves far more 'bouquets' like the above and I know that it and this reply are technically OT but for once I don't feel even slightly guilty about that. Good on you manojmat, i've actually 'snotted' a few users for disrespecting Caty, not that she needs me or anyone else to defend her honour, her reputation speaks for itself (and so can she). Great to see appreciation and respect so clearly expressed and i'm sure 99.9999999% of users think like us too.

So what is your best guess on what occurred there? Do you think that maybe the running of the JCV somehow 'enabled' the LA info in the map, rather than the LA info being included in the jcv file (which it mustn't be of course or LA would have disappeared when you removed the jcv file). This has got me interested enough to dl the map and jvc to try in a nuvi, first the map only, then map & jcv, then map again w/o jvc to attempt to duplicate your ipod findings. I'll report asap.
