Thread: Enable features in your nuvi 12xx, 13xx and 14xx - JCV, LA, TTS

G'day Igor, welcome to GPSPower.

The difference is the number of junction views only. Use either, they're the same other than views and of course file size, ~664MiB compared to ~312MiB so proportionally there should be over twice the views in the larger file. The rest of the post you partially quoted gives that in brief :

The non-U map with D2504180A.JCV or D3084150A.JCV is the correct combination to use but the larger file's nearly 664MiB in size. D3048180A split is only ~379MiB but regardless possibly has slightly more views than D2504180A full and many, many more views than D3084150A full at ~312MiB.

Additionally, in spite of some claims to the contrary, imo 1xxx is not completely compatible with Unicode maps. However it certainly has less issues in actual use than earlier nuvi series 2xx and 7xx for example. If you wish to save some space on the unit or microSD and don't mind the 'stretched and fuzzy' look of the 212x234 JCV you will probably not have many problems in actual use with the EUU map depending on language usage, locations used and searches made.

PS: 2016.10 is here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with D2504190A.JCV and D3084160A.JCV.

use Easy method by Acleite with sd (bottom of starting post). It's ok for all 1xxx nuvi series, after that update firmware.

There are not any reason to modify software again if you had performed action successful once. I tested new software on my device and do not have any problem. May be you have some problem with map update?! Try once more...

I agree with Giomen, it's not a problem with the new version of unit software. These features are enabled permanently by the change of logo splash version in the unit itself, all the functions are already in the software but normally are enabled or disabled in certain unit models by the splash number.

Although Garmin Express should have loaded the new JCV file to go with the map update [the map version and jcv file must match]. Check that you have the new file by comparing the file name to what's available in the NA 2016.10 thread: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] [assuming that's the version map you have]. Also check that you don't have the new file on the unit and the old file on a microSD card, or vice versa, because that can cause conflict problems.

BTW, if you've flashed the logo.bin again using Acleite's V6.20 you'll have overwritten the unit's boot sector and you should re-flash that to V6.30, otherwise you're using an older ramloader to load the newer system software. If you don't know how to correct that, post again advising the HWID of your 1350 [0972 or 1104] and we'll make you a file.
