So far Routes are not available in 13xx series.
@scubadoo: this firmware flashing procedure does not apply to MTK models - sorry. Maybe in future we might do that as well. Can you please write here your splash version? (how-to: see post 106)

Attached OCR capture from my nuvi 1250 MTK version:
can anybody show here splash screen of a nüvi 1390, 1450 or 1490 MTK version?


@ scubadoo
The trick should work also on the MTK model but it should be used MTK boot.bin to flash the Splash. I think the guys can help you prepare such .rgn.
They are available but locked. Not possible to be unlocked via Splash. Need firmware patch.So far Routes are not available in 13xx series.
Routes are locked by PCB number and cant be changed.
If you flash nuvi series 13xx to 1460 SG firmware of nuvi ,routes is available
First post contains links to flashing files for devices with MTK chipset, i.e. HWID 1106 and 1104.
Feedback is welcome.

I can confirm "Updated firmware for 12xx MTK ONLY! v4.80" from the first page link appears to work on my nuvi 1250.
I have the "Junction View" menu option available in simulation mode.
A quick test and all other functions work well.
Now all I have to do is find an actual "Junction" to "View".
I'm happy - well done dvazg!
PS. Can you please tell me the (presumably) Chinese words after "Garmin" during bootup?
Edit: Worked it out with GIR Editor.![]()

Yes, this is what I meant. Hope we understand the information of PCB unlocking soon and it become public. Think you have seen Saniksanik Deluxe video with unlocked Routes:
Spoiler: YT video
Didn't know that 1460 SG firmware gives Routes. Thanks. I know that Routes are unlocked if flashed with 1360/1460 JPN and with 1690 EU/US/TW/AU/CA firmwares.If you flash nuvi series 13xx to 1460 SG firmware of nuvi ,routes is available.
Cheers,

Saniksanik merge SG firmware with US and webupdater dont work with this firmware.
If you explore firmware with hex editor you can change PCB number,but with every new update of firmware you must change again or your nuvi show software missing.
Saniksanik work like this.
