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

Hi dvazg & Lolypop000,

It works (pressing the battery icon for 5 seconds). The updater detected my Garmin and did the update. However, after trying to copy the the JCV file (which match with my current map) to various locations (e.g: Garmin Nuvi\system\JCV\JCV file; Garmin Nuvi\Gamin\JCV\JCV file or just under Garmin Nuvi\JCV\JCV file, one at a time of course) I still coudn't see the junction view. In simulation mode, pressing the upper left corner, i could see the junction view option but it is grey out. Any idea dvazg & Lolypop000? Sorry to bother you again!!

If you are sure that you have matching IMG and JCV files, turn off any additional maps you might have installed on the device and simulate a long route - into some other country. Then in simulation, press upper left corner and list forthcoming junctions, once you reach a junction with existing JCV image, the (bottom) button will appear.

Hi dvazg,

I am sure that the map and JCV file are matched because i downloaded them recently from this link

I tried to simulate a very long route (900km) but still there is not junction view available .
Next, i looked into the map. There are two maps on my units. Once came preinstalled, and one I just downloaded from here (unlocked image file) and i copied it to Garmin Nuvi\Map (i don't have the SD card on my unit yet). Once I turn on the unit, i can see 2 maps available (under Map option) and i only selected the latest one that came with the JCV file. And still, the damn junction view doesn't show up :-). One thing i noticed was during start up, My unit showed 2 dates regarding the maps. Something like: 2009 whereis map....copyright....
2010 whereis map....copyright....
Is this normal, dvazg? and regarding the GUPDATE file, doesn't it have to be the one when you last update the firmware? I asked because after unsuccessful at the first try (at flashing the unit), i reinstalled the firmware using the webupdater which give me another GUPDATE file. After successfully flashing the unit at the 2nd. try, i didn't have the latest GUPDATE file at hand (because i bak it up at home) so i used the first GUPDATE file which i saved in the usb stick. Could it be the reason that the junction view doesn't not show up?
