It's been a few years since I messed around with my nuvi 1300. Please refresh my memory. Mine is the lifetime map edition. I updated it to enable the extra features back then, which took me some effort to accomplish. I am vague on memory, but I believe my software (firmware?) is unlocked (is that possible or is it only the maps that can be unlocked?) If so, do I still have to unlock the maps or will they work as is? Also, it seems to me that the map threads from which I downloaded several years ago had additional links to versions already unlocked by one or another person on this sight, thus sparing the rest of us of the need to go through the steps ourselves. I run linux and can't run any of the software myself. Furthermore, I am technically overwhelmed by all the instructions. For those who are blessed with a good understanding of the electronic systems and software in use here, you are lucky and confident. I, unfortunately, am not so blessed and it would take me several months of concerted effort just to figure out the in's and out's of following your instructions. It took me all day just to figure out that I have to use the "LIKE" button in order to reveal hidden information. I've looked at the tutorials today and have trouble understanding them. So, can someone please unlock the maps and post links and then a step by step on how to load them. I know how to download (although, for some reason, even that seems quite protracted). I can open and extract .rar files. I can plug my 1300 into my laptop's usb port and look at the internal memory. I can remove the microsd card and insert it into my laptop's microsd card slot. From there, I need to know which files already in my system and microsd card are to be replaced and how to determine if the files I have are already up-to-date (apparently, new updates can still use some older files). I need to know what directories and files therein should be deleted. This will be true not only for the city explorer maps, but also the city navigator maps. Thx for any help.
