Thread: Transform a Nuvi 37xx in a Nuvi 34xx for dummies

But... i also have "jumping car" effect! In simulation!!!! (and in real world too)
especially when i zoom in to max zoom - car jumping forth - back all the time when moving!
And when destination is reached- car sometimes jumped to next street (in simulation mode!).
When i zoom out a little - car jumping stops, but i can see that map draw "jumping" a little - no smooth movement as with original FW.

I remember, that in GPS modules there is option to average GPS signal - so position not jumping all the time. in car GPS, as i know ,that option is turned on by default + when movement is less than 5 km/h - position marker don`t move (or something like that - maybe i`m wrong).

Maybe problem is there???
But car jumping in simulation mode - thats strange.....

Please post your device PCB version.

Another jumping car on PCB ver. 8. Seems like on PCB ver. 8 it's not possible to get fully functional transformation 37xx->34xx.

Just for info... My good 34xx(converted) has PCB 8.
Maybe satt signal is up to environment of internal memory????
(same hardware , same firmware , so what is different ??)

Just as an FYI, I converted two 3760's into 3490's and neither of them had the "jumping car" syndrom. One was PCB version 4 (with 4 GB of memory) and the other was PCB version 11 (with 2 GB of memory). I also have an original 3490 and it came with PCB version 11 (and 8 GB of memory).

1. You need an Android application for smstartphone link. When you install this application on your phone and pair it via blue tooth with Nuvi, you'll get smartphone link.
2. Yes you can. Copy the current.gpx file from your 3790 to your computer and rename it temp.gpx. Then attach the 3490 to your computer and move the temp.gpx file to the GPX folder on the GPS (the same folder as for 3790). Reboot the 3490 and all your favorites will be merged with already existing on 3490.
