Navteq->Nokia->Here is names of Finland company. So he knows better This part of kauppakatu street is restricted for usual car driving now and as sequence official delivery address was replaced to neighbour street what have permission for driving. For example, for Iso Myy centre I am getting Siltakatu 10 or 12 and Niskakatu 5 or 7 for moving papers. You can use any mobile app to get actual info so.
As say we apologize for any inconvenience but can we compare new roads junction of Imatrantie and Kajaanintie in Prizma market region with this small deficit. No!
I am strongly recommend to use version from 2014.30 because the roads segment was very actualized since this version. It is better to have 100 m trip as pedestrian then from 2 to 25 km by car in unknown city with wrong map and continuous scream "Recalculate route...".

is in separate files. The best for you have one common file for UK and Ireland region!

Yes, I downloaded the file in post #6 CN Europe NT 2014.40-UNITED KINGDOM.rar but then found the separate file for Ireland was needed to cover both "UK and Ireland". So, as you have said, two files needed.

After reading Rayiu's comment (post #101) that the 2014.40 maps might not work correctly on my older nuvi 205W, I found a single file map in version 2014.10 for both "UK and Ireland" and downloaded that one. It seems to be working well on my nuvi.

However I might also try to download the 2014.40 map that Varfolomey has mentioned (post #112) and try it to see if it works correctly with my 205W. It is also a single map that covers both UK and Ireland.

Thanks, I shall try this one. Wasn't sure if it would work correctly with my old nuvi 205W.

Rayiu's comment (post #101) is not concern the device, it is collision of map only. Forget about Rayiu's comment if you do not want to find 3 historic houses that he mentioned. Now this building(s) was reconstructed and present one big storehouse and it is the reason of confusion in postal addresses but at all it is not problem because new map 2014.40 contain the actual restriction on adjacent streets what was made after reconstruction and is not present on old 2014.10 map. I think, now Rayiu is only planning route and when he will be at this place he understand the reason of collision and confusion too.

nuvi 205W is old device but it give odds to half of new models. For example, could you see route to destination even you are navigated to another route at this time without pressing GO! and without the longest tedious route calculation on new not expensive models? No! Only above 200 bucks would give you this possibility

Be care in map installation and all will be OK!!! This map is special for your device! Garmin do not throw veterans in trouble for exclusion the very old model produced in beginning of century (it must be died but working now in spite of everything and it is Garmin fault - Garmin recognize that and it is fixing a bug in new not longplay devices . For new we have Unicode version...

No, it can't use the JCV or any other 'fancy' additional files which is the reason why i suggested you download the 2 separate UK & Ireland images in my answer to your original post:

The separate Ireland and UK only images from bam-bam's Post #6 will do fine for you as you don't need any other files such as JCV. With latest firmware you can even put both in a Garmin folder on an SD card named gmapsupp.img and gmapsup1.img if you like.

For inexperienced users, better to put 'unofficial' maps on a card. That way if the .img files cause problems, just take the SD card out and the unit will work fine. A faulty image on the unit itself however can 'brick' it. Don't forget to de-select the unit's OEM map if it's covering the same area though.

Like i said, i only suggested the 2 separate files originally because you didn't need the JCV that came with the locked UK/Ireland image. Unlock it with gimgunlock and you can place it in the Garmin folder directly on the unit if you wish, or in a Garmin folder on an SD as a safer option.

Hi Neil, just to let you know that I transferred the locked 2014.40 UK/Ireland map to my nuvi 205W (after renaming the existing map, just in case I needed to get it back if the new one caused problems). Then unlocked it with gimgunlock, disconnected from my laptop and switched on the nuvi. The new map loaded up fine (no messages about being locked etc). I tried searching for a few addresses, post codes etc and all appears to be working fine.

Thanks again for your help - it's nice to have the latest map up and running on my nuvi

(I also moved an updated safety camera file into the POI folder, but haven't had a chance to check if its working yet)

If you know or suspect where speedcams take place you can simulate the route only through this road segment and check a integrity. I recommend do it because the installation of this POI have its peculiarity too.
