I've just recently bought a 3490LMT here in South Africa and the Preloaded Map is CNSA2013.30 NT not NTU.
It would be awful if newest device do not read a not-Unicode maps! But as you know we lack in the case of using a not-Unicode version a some features! Garmin especially understrike this features as a huge advantage in model of 2012. Let's not to hurt the old man
At least I know two examples of such offenders. The first, fisherman uses a 3590 on snowmobile only with the oldest converted version of marine chart and he loves this device for the big screen and function "off" after a preset time. The second, dogman uses a 3490 with a tracker function only for communication with his dog GSM collar and he uses the old version of NT map principally (it seems that the new or another version is not as accurate).
