Not all versions of 1350 support junction view as original. For example, NA/AU etc units don't unless the splash has been modified but many EU versions do have it out of the box. Check that you have a splash of B1340-50 or higher: On main screen 'Where To?/View Map', press and hold the battery symbol in top RH corner for several seconds to enter a hidden menu>Next>Start Test>More. Look for 'Splash' and to right of it 'D1340-xx'. If you have D1340-30 on your 1350 then JCV is not enabled. If it's -50, -80 or -81 then it is. See this post: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] .You can update to D1340-50 if necessary using the tut in that thread.

If you already have JCV enabled and definitely have the correct jcv file for this map properly placed in sd:/Garmin/JCV folder or in unit:/.System/JCV folder, it maybe that you're not looking in the right place for the views. Try a simulated route from any major NA city to another one [e.g. LA to SF; NYC to Buffalo] which will take you along major roads and scroll thru the route: Press directional arrow/s in upper LH corner>Press down arrow until the words 'Junction View' at base of screen are bright then press those words and you'll see the view.

Yes.

Yes, my device does support Junction View.

So, it worked when I put the JCV file in the System's JCV folder but it didn't work when it is in a microSD card, no matter where it is in the microSD card, even the JCV folder.

I have to put the JCV file in a microSD card because there are other maps and JCV files which are using all the space of the internal storage, so what I was planning is to put the North America maps and the JCV file together in the SD card, the map works but not the JCV.

Please advise me what to do! Thanks!

Check that you make a folder on the SD card Named /Garmin/JCV and not /Garmin/JVC (A lot of us have made this mistake before.)

**arthur88** · 15th July 2014, 08:39 AM

Yes, It is named JCV not JVC.

It looks like you have a unique and strange problem. I use JCV files on my 1300 daily and it works fine (Always on SD card)
Try to use another SD CARD (Fat32 Format)
Try another Map / JCV combination (A small country just as a test)
Try to see if the JCV file registers in the Inventory Screen.
If it works in the unit it should also work on the SD card, make sure your path is correct (delete and re-create the folder).
Make sure that you don't have old JCV files somewhere.

**arthur88** · 15th July 2014, 03:15 PM

Yeah, it's really strange!
What does Inventory Screen mean?
Anyway, I have reformatted my microSD card, created JCV, Map folder, and put all the files in it. It didn't work. So, I put another JCV file which previously worked in the Internal Storage but when it is in the microSD card, it encountered the same problem.
Well, I don't have any old North America JCV files that's for sure, but I do have 2 other countries latest JCV file which they are in the internal storage and they are working fine.

nuvi 12xx-13xx-14xx :battery symbol on main screen (hold 6 seconds)

This is from another nuvi:

No, the map doesn't register in the Inventory Screen but the other two JCV files do and at the last row they are filled with alphabets and numbers, not 'Unknown' 'Pass', just like the screenshot you posted for the Audio's last row. For Splash, the code is D1340-50 and it is 'Pass'.

@arthur88
That screen was posted by catymag as an example only to show you what it looks like. As she stated, it's from another nuvi model [a 465, not even JCV capable] and it wasn't meant for you to compare it to your Inventory as such.

Every enabled 1xxx nuvi is capable of using JCV files equally well from either folder, sd:/Garmin/JCV or unit:/.System/JCV so please back up your favourites and then either [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] on your 1350.

I have cleaned Nonvol but the same problem still occurs.
Do I actually need to create a Garmin folder on the SD card and put JCV and Map folder in it? Because when I do that, both the map and JCV will become unreadable but when I only have JCV and Map folder directly on my SD card, the map is readable but the JCV is not.
