    Do I have to delete the 2009 map for the NUVI(space is to small in the NUVI for an exchange) to default to start the 2010 map?

    I also have a NUVI 1490T, in the tools it lists it 's 3D! also the advertisement speaks of Lane Guidance, is this correct or the unit is new and not listed as so? Set me straight I just bought it and got the Free update to the Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2010.30 from the 2009.
    Thank You in advance for the help and the GREAT site and people!

    First backup you old map, then delete it from you nuvi, you can try to delete in the new one,voices files you dont need, to have it smaller, but I dont think you'll have room enough, better to put it in an sd and eventually ,put in your device pois ,vehicles ,speedcams or may be a guide----

    in the garmin folder of the gps rename it to gmapprom.img
    in the garmin folder of your sd card rename it to gmapsupp.img
    remove or deselect any other maps displaying the same area---

    the limit is 2024 map segments and 4 gb (fat32)----

    to see all your new nuvi files change folder options to view all hidden files on your pc

    You have to navigate to get to the good.

    Thank You Catymag for the information and the How to!
    The more I read the more I get lost! LOL
    When I get out I'll pick up a 4gig SD card but how do I format it to be sure its 32 bit? A computer that has 32 bit Win XP I'll use that computer to format the SD card.
    Copy and save the 2009 .img
    In the Garmin folder of the gps rename it to gmapprom.img Is this the old 2009 map? I copied and saved but haven't deleted it.
    In the Garmin folder of the sd card rename it to gmapsupp.img
    Thank You --Your the GREATEST!!!!!!

    Does merging maps (i.e. in effect making them bigger) make the GPS operate more slowly? Currently already the maps load v. slowly on the screen.

    Hi all,
    I have downloaded CNEUNT 2012.10 from Multiupload. All the files: mapsource, ASR, G2S, JCV, etc. Unlocked them, but when I wanted to copy into may device, Nuvi 3790, something happened and device cannot see the maps. I copy it into System (hidden folder), both gmasupp.img and gmap3d.img. I have tried and recopy all of them. Same, nothing. If I put these files on a SD card it works OK. At least gmapsupp.img.
    What I have done wrong?
    Tx.
