Kenwood seel only a map a year and old version 2014 is the 2013 now I have NT 2014.40 in map kenwood

My limited experience with recent Kenwoods is that they use the 34/35x0 files, not 37x0.

too many files. what are they? how to install them into my gps device?


look for this answer in Have you downloaded an IMG ? in the stick tread [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Safer to use NT Map on Nuvi 200.

When transfering the maps from mapsource to my GPS Device (Etrex Vista HCx) I could not tick the "include routing information" checkbox (is grey).
Aren't those informations not included? In older versions it works fine.
Thanks for reply.

As an older device, your eTrex Vista HCx would not be fully compatible with unicode maps. See [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Best stick with non-unicode EU 2014.40 to be safe. I concude from your question that you're using MapSource to compile an image. Sorry to say, MS is not fully compatible with large CN and Topo maps, so better to use MapInstall for them. To answer your question though, if the map is routable anyway [as this one is] that field will be automatically greyed out in MS anyway.

The reason for greyed out in MS is NT format. Old non NT format was supported the mode for exclusion of routing data to decrease of map size. Many old device do not have a routing support and its have a very limited memory size into the bargain. NT format do not support this mode at all.

Thanks. I meant exactly that, because he already knew it was a live field for 'older versions' [non-NT]. However to be absolutely clear, i should have written this:

BTW, I've just fixed your post #117 immediately above where you had the quote wrongly attributed to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] when it should have been Roger ... So one good turn deserves another ol' Pal! ..... Dammit! Why is my back still itchy??
