I listed devices present in that map list, but good sense should lead us
Edit:3490 added

I had in mind that this list can hardly be used as a Tutorial ...
There is no news about devices support for NTU version maps, PanAfrica map was the only one official reference we had ,now discontinued, apart our own personal device garmindevice.xml , but obviously we cant look at all devices.xml to reply our members questions about this matter, that's why I considered interesting to post this list here.
Listed devices have officially support for NTU maps, this is incontrovertible evidence naturally, same HWID devices should have too, so if 3450 is listed ,3490 will have too.

nüvi 140 and nüvi 150 are not listed on compatibility page for PanAfrica NTU map.
That would suggest they are not NTU compatible. On the other hand, Garmin is also known for not always updating their information quickly.
Hence the question: can someone confirm whether or not the nüvi 140 and 150 units are (fully!) NTU compatible (and therefore should be listed as such)?
For "Compatible" here probably is intended device supports all the features the map offers and it's firmware is designed for displaying that kind of map.
Series 1xxx sw is designed till now for NT maps and NT is map 1xxx receive from Garmin server at update session, btw people often says NTU works fine. I'm not so sure if search is perfectly working with NTU in 1xxx series.
I tested once in a 1200 and I had to remove it and replace with NT coz some addresses were unreachable, but it was long time ago.

It would be surprising if 140/150T aren't fully compatible with NTU when they are newer devices than 30/40/50, but i did say 'probably', because i don't know. Perhaps the reason they are not listing in the compatibility list for PanAfrica NTU map is simply that those units are not sold in Africa? Who knows, when Garmin is Garmin? Best if someone with a 1x0T tests and reports as you suggest or maybe dasilvarsa knows.

I have a sample of nuvi 150 garmindevice.xml so I could check:

Caty, maybe dezl 760 would be a safe addition too?
