Not without serious manipulation and it would be quite pointless other than for 'cosmetic' reasons anyway. The unit functions as a 3490, has it's HWID, uses it's firmware and files and is a 3490 for all real intents and purposes. Garmin Express, MapUpdater and WebUpdater will treat it as a 3490 based on it's HWID for fw and associated files and it's Unit ID for mapping and associated files [ASR, SID etc] and any Lifetime map subscription is unaffected accordingly. When a nuvi 2460 is fully converted to dezl 560 it identifies as 'dezl 2460', a nuvi 2x5W converted to nuvi 465 identifies as nuvi 465 however. These model name aberrations mean nothing to the day to day running of the units however.

I don't fully understand what you mean by:
"Garmin Express, MapUpdater and WebUpdater will treat it as a 3490 based on it's HWID for fw and associated files and it's Unit ID for mapping and associated files [ASR, SID etc]"
All these applications still see it as a 3790

Doesn't matter what model number they 'see' it as. They will treat it as a 3490 because of it's HWID [Hardware Identification Number] which is now 1376 not 1100 as before. For the OEM mapping data, the factor is the UID which doesn't change. The model name/number itself is quite immaterial. Even if they see it as a 3790 they will still give it the files suitable for a 3490.

Yes, I got it, thanks.
But the tool: RGN_Tool_v084.zip, is no longer accessible.
Is there a different download link?

Was able to update the GPS. It still shows 3760 after the Garmin logo upon boot. Im assuming this is normal.
I renamed the Voice, Text and Keyboard files before the upgrade. Are these files still valid? I can rename them back?
Or should I get the ones from the first page? but the download links are no longer working.

Please see posts #1041 & 1042 above. It's now a nuvi 3490 in all but name only. As said by @SLI, run WU to get all 34x0 up-to-date files now. You should also be offered SRD Language-specific files for ASR use. If you want to use ASR you'll also need the map-specific ASR/SRX files which if available are obtained from the relevant map thread. Originally Posted by sroghen
