Hi all,

I really need and advice or guide from all the guru here.

Just now i have updated the map and added custom poi in to my garmin nuvi 1350. after apdated the map and custom poi, i reboot the gps and it stuck on the loading maps.

Even i connect it to pc, the mass storage wont appear because i havent boot till the stage that windows can detect it yet. try to hard reset by pressing the bottom right and erase all user data, it also stuck on the pressing yes or no button.

I use GarminCure3 and updater to reflash the device but after reboot, it is still the same and stuck on the loading maps.

Please help me....

Before you will use any cure software you always can use pretty tricks in the your case:

With the nuvi powered off, press and hold the upper left hand corner of the touchscreen with your finger.
Continue to hold the touchscreen while pressing and releasing the power button on the device.
Plug USB.
Wait for few minutes...

Usually Garmin Nuvi 1xxx start in Masstorage mode and you can delete all wrong files of POI and voice without problem.

Try Using Webupdater or My Dashboard to see if it picks it up and maybe you can get some of the files back that way.
Does the Nuvi Start to the Where To Screen ?

Flash in pre boot with cure and when you have mass storage, remove maps and poi.
Flash with original fw and your nuvi will turn on.

What's your Dashboard? sorry but I'm not very good and I am a neophyte of pc and I do not have good English!
webupdater does not recognize my garmin!

First look if you have your nuvi formated to FAT.
Then create on your nuvi internal memory new folder and rename it to Garmin.
Turn of and then on your nuvi and you will have garmindevice.xml inside (if you have garmindevice.tmp just rename to garmindevice.xml)
Now run webupdater and download all file that you need.

How did you format the flash drive? Windows is likely to format it incorrectly, you should do it with RMPREPUSB as suggested in the first post.
CURE firmware can't boot, it can only enter the mass storage mode. You need to flash the ORIGINAL firmware (click the corresponding check box of GarminCure3 program) in pre-boot mode.
To enter the pre-boot mode:
1)disconnect the device from the PC
2)Hold the power button until the device turns off completely
3)Press and hold the upper left corner of the LCD
4)Connect the device to the PC
5)Wait until updater.exe detects the device
