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

I'm novice here. First of all many thanks to lolypop000 for his posts ! And especially thanks to turboccc for his nice tools (RGN, GIR...) !
I have the Nuvi 1310T, HWID = 972, SW version = 5.10. After the patch I could see the Lines and JCV!
But the Junction View points are showing in my device on the full screen. If I press the top left corner I obtain the picture - on the left half shows me a map, on the right half I didn't have a picture of JCV (only the table with direction, speed and time). Are everybody have the same view or you have on the right side small picture of Junction view?
Thanks

In EU/US devices, JCV image is full screen. In some asian devices, JCV image is reserved to the right half of scree, whilst left half shows the map.

dvaz thank you!
If I will flash the US/SG 2.8 firmware (which mentioned by lolypop000 in the post 122) in EU 1310 device, does it not corrupt my Nuvi?
And what other new features could I obtain in my Nuvi? Do you know?

After some iteration I have flashed US/SG 2.8 firmware into my Nuvi1310T. It's works.
But I didn't find the Language Guide icon. In my previous SW ver. 5.10 I have it.
Does anybody knows how to return this feature? That I could use the Language Guide again.

Hello,
I have problem on Nuvi 1350.Device freezing on startup,can not make hard reset,can not connect on computer by USB.
When I press top left corner on screen and turn on my nuvi,on computer hardware-device manager show "Garmin devices",but after 15 sec. go OFF.
I am try to instal gupdate.gcd file from SD card \Garmin\gupdate.gcd but nothing.
If any have solution,please help.
Thanks

When you enter preboot mode, you should keep pressing upper left part of the screen all the time. Alternatively, enter diagnostic menu by pressing the battery icon for 5 sec , AND THEN attach USB cable (read 3rd paragraph of instructions in the first post).
Gupdate.gcd should be in the ".System" folder on the device, not on the SD card.

Hi...how did u managed to flashed to 2.80 SG fw... Did u mixed it with the 5.10 boot.bin?
Did u change the sequence of the fw_resources.bin and fw_1.bin in the rgn file u flashed??
Thanks.

Hello!
I use the same sequence as it was in the SG 2.80 firmware:
fw1_resources.bin
and last fw_all.bin
Copy all files from your Nuvi (so you could return them).
Change Text and Voice folders to 1Text and 1Voice (for example) in your Nuvi befor start to flash.
Delete the gupdate.qcd in the System folder if it is there.
Then start to flash alternative firmware through updater as usually.

In some cases it could be in the Garmin folder on SD card and for me it works.

But for alca777 the problem is to flash quickly when he press the top left corner.
I did it so:
Drug the original xxxxxxx.rgn file to the updater.
Press the top left corner and hold it.
Press Nuvi power button. Logo GARMIN starts.
Quickly connect the USB cable to your Nuvi.
Hold your finger on the top left corner and on the updater menu check the USB Device - ..Nuvi 1xxx.. -> And press OK.
Flashing starts (I hold my finger on the top left corner) .
When you see on the Nuvi screen - Loading...
You could remove your finger.
After the updater finish, close it
Remove the USB cable.
Turn off and turn on your Nuvi and wait for good load (a hope).
Luck

After recent updates, Language Guide can only be run from the SD card (both, language files and *.unl). Read more here. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
