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

GeorgeRace · 17th June 2013, 04:11 PM

I have flashed my 3790 to the 3490. Everything has gone just great, and I updated all the map files this morning to the latest version.
Since the conversion, I do not have the "Voice Command" icon in the Apps window.
I have tried everything, so it seems, and cannot find a solution to getting it back and the Voice Command working.
I did delete all the files in the .System\ASR\ directory and did a webupdate. No change and nothing was added to the ASR directory.
Can anyone give a hand please? Everything else works great, just no way to enable the Voice Command.

You must download ASR for 34xx in City Navigator thread or run again Mapupdater after conversion to 34xx if you have lifetime. ASR files are different in 34xx.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I ran GarminExpress this morning. All maps are version 2014.10
WebUpdater does not show any Voice files to download.
There are a lot of new files in .System\ASR\ directory.
None of them are the en_US or en_GB srd files

When I go to the Apps page, there is not anything there about selecting Voice Command

If there are files I need to download and install, can you give me a specific link to their location. I looked through the area you suggested and there is so much stuff there, I was not sure what to do.

I do have lifetime LMT
Thanks,
George

Voices are posted in starting post, after installing them run Webupdater to update them.
Edit: Probably you must download new keyboards and txt files too.

I can't seem to understand "Voices and the Starting Post"
I ran the MapUpdater, GarminExpress this morning and it downloaded all the new files.
Why do I need to download additional files?

I am very confused I guess!
Don't know what to do next.

Voices, from Voice folder are not available neither from Webupdater nor from Express or Mapupdater.
Usually voices are preloaded in 3490 so Webupdater doesn't provide them, if are missing you must copy files manually in Voice folder, so download files from post n1. They probably are old ,so once you have 34xx voices files in folder ,Webupdater will provide an update.
ASR files are voice commands ,voices are speaking street name files.
ASR must be downloaded with map. You must have the whole CN in gps to make them work or you get "American English not available ...." error message.

You need en_US.srd or en_GB.srd in /.System/ASR (for English)

It's called speech Recognition Data in GARMIN.Express

Tab Device Advanced in GARMIN.Express

Also check supported_features.html in /.System/Diag/html folder.

ASR must be in the list .

I guess I just can't figure it out.
George

The menu there does not have anything about Speech Recognition data in the GarminExpress program.
George

There is not a /.System/Diag/html folder at that location.

I guess I am at the height of frustration. The one feature that I used all the time was the Voice Recognition. This morning I downloaded the newest map file, thinking the necessary files for voice recognition came with it. I did have an icon on the Apps page to change the "wakeup" command with the 3790, with the 3490 update, that icon is no longer there. I can't seem to find the en_US.srt files anywhere to download either.

There must be some kind of solution out there for what I am running into.

File en_US.srd

[hide]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[/hide]

Procedure: cut/copy ALL files *.srd from folder ASR in to your PC....turn on nuvi....link nuvi to PC....launch the Web Updater....and install ALL the file for ASR (*.srd)
With my nuvi it works fine...

And the ASR work with the map NA FULL,not shortcut...or with the US only,but the original map from Garmin

Bye,bye
