Caty, many of old device do not read Unicode symbol as fact. On screen only mojibake will be saw...

Reading this on another forum where this map has been leeched :

I just tested the newest 40 NTU on My Nuvi250W. It works perfect on my old GPS! Tested with addresses in Hungary,Austria,Germany Serbia

As I know Hungarian is unicode lol.

I think that Garmin has a lot of Lifetime Contracts for NT Maps in Europe,
They also have a lot of Lifetime Contracts for NTU Maps in Europe, NTU is needed for Special Character Sets in Some European Countries.
That is why they need to Release 2 Maps for Europe.
The Americas North and South will probably stay on NT, English, French,Spanish and Portuguese.
Some Countries in North Africa need NTU, That is why Pan Africa NTU has already been released.
In Theory, By just modifying the Firmware any Garmin Device new or old could be modified to use NTU Map. !
This seems to be the case of the Nuvi 250W reported by CatyMag.

Firmware 5.10 did not work properly with usual NT map too. Garmin even patch this in next 5.20 version with urgently:

"Changes made from version 5.10 to 5.20:
Fixed an error that caused the device to prompt users to turn the wrong direction on certain routes.
Fixed an error that caused routes to calculate slowly."

and so on and so on. Only since version 5.40 Nuvi 1xxx work normally with CityNavigator NT probably.

I thought what it is map errors, but Garmin support said version 5.10 is incompatible with new map of Europe.

Garmin route is very very delicate thing. In some situations a shift of position to several second give another route. Without doubt Garmin compiles each map version from zero despite the same map data. Plus NTU version have a lot of SID, and if I delete some of that SID the route is building quite differently on 2012 series.

roger1109, at next time you can do duplicate of route in the same Mapsource window and after that you can change it color and recalculate for next chosen map. In this case even small difference in route is looking as sticking out of one color from another.

Nuvi 250W have a text source (text gtt files) in Unicode and it must read Unicode by default. But we have for example many old Nuvi 3xx and 6xx, Quest, handhelders in very fine condition and they was not going to die for some reason. Also for POI in Unicode for example - sounding is fine but mojibake in text are present.

Where can I find de high res JCV file for 2013.40?

This map in this thread is NTU , not NT
You'll have it with NT map when it will be released by Garmin

previous NTU map JCV

This NTU map has been finally released some minutes ago, we will add missing files in this thread

NOTE:The map NTU released today 27-2-2013 is exactly the same (Mapsource version and other files) than the one leaked here in this thread (MD5 checked) so useless to repost it.
