How to install any Garmin map on Iphone Garmin StreetPilot

**nunobiuzarro** · 7th April 2013, 02:41 AM

hello

another thing the 2.4.1 version as a bug so don't download the 3d maps because after that the app will require always an internet connection to activate the maps, instead copy an gmap3d.img unlocked to library/sdcard/garmin no need to set permissions.

i installed and ran garmin 2.2 usa following tony's instructions. wonderful tutorial post. thanks!

so, i added:
- 2013.40 north america map image to storage-usa/.System/
- 2013.40 JCV Lite to .System/JCV (~25mb)

removed:
- existing base map image on 2.2 usa (~50mb)

downloaded from Extras menu in the app (all these showed up as free):
- PhotoReal Junction View | i see a new JCV file in sdcard/garmin/JCV (~145mb)
- 3-D Buildings and Landmarks (2013.10) | this shows up in library/sdcard/garmin (~183mb)
- trafficTrends

however, i have a few questions:

1. i can't see traffic info at all on the app. when i press the traffic icon, it says "No traffic data." i can add cameras to myCameras, but don't see any live traffic info. did i do something wrong?

2. when i try to use a phone contact as destination point, the address search takes forever to load (actually it doesn't find address at all).

3. (may be related to #2, but i'm not sure) i have 2 different sid files: one in Library/sdcard/Garmin/SID and the other in garmin-nav.app/storage-usa/.System/SID. one of them is dated 9/24/12 (~272mb), the other says modified 4/7/13 (~150mb)

3. can someone please share the files and instructions on how to add the other Extras to my app:
Urban Guidance, Panorama View 3D, Traffic (#1)?

"edit: is it possible i could delete one of the jcv or sid files to save some space?"

and thanks catymag for the 2.2 app link pm!

i would really appreciate the assistance, and i'm sure this will also be very useful for a lot of others out there.

thanks for that very helpful reply!
i see transit instructions (urban guidance) shows up automatically when i choose pedestrian mode. and traffic data also became available on its own a few hours later.
chose to put the JCV Lite version on the phone because i wasn't sure which file would be the correct one, as they were in folders for nuvi 7xx/2xxx. so, does that mean i can use D3191080A.JCV if i wanted junction view images in split screen rather than full screen? junction photos actually showed up with the lite version also. i'm guessing the other larger files have it for more intersections.

not exactly running out of space on the iPhone, but keeping unnecessary files does not make sense.
wanted to check how panoramic 3d looked on the phone. can't find the .dem file here. only one i found (~900mb) froze and crashed the app. didn't see any difference on the map either.

and... is the 2013.40 sid file really supposed to be 800mb?! (downloading it from forum link right now. thanks, catymag, for that!)
does it have any purpose other than the phone contacts search?

SID files are traffic trends ,instaSearch , instaAdresses and POIs and FastRouting related

North America DEM here

I dont have experience with iPhone, but on Android, Street Pilot acts and uses files like on nuvi 34xx ,so I guess you can use full res. split screen JCV

I have problem with current lane display,it's not working. It works on USA 2.0 but not for USA 2.2. Anybody has same problem?
(I used the same plist file on both.) Any solution? Thanks in advance.

I've been using TOMTOM 1.3 on my jbreak iphone and now try to install Garmin StreetPilot with change to ..etc file but still can't see map. Error "Acquiring satelite..." appears and nothing else happens.
Any Idea what I'm doing wrong guys?

By the way I've installed USA-onboard-nomap IPA and trying out new OZZI-NZ map

If indeed you are talking about the Lane Assist display/feature, there is a setting in TargetConfig.plist that controls which type of LaneAssist image is displayed--there are two types--the default is the one that shows up in the upper left-hand corner as a green-background box and displays both lane arrows and miles to the next turn; the alternate version is a much smaller oval-shaped white-background (I think--not 100% sure of the color) image at the very bottom center of the display and displays only the lane arrows.

I put
<key>current_lane_guidance_enable</key>
<true/>
<key>current_road_display</key>
<true/>
on my TargetConfig.plist and already set permission.
Current lane guidance displayed at the bottom center but current road name didn't display on USA 2.2.
Before I update to version 2.2 it displayed both at bottom center. Do I do something wrong?

Thanks for the answer.
