Like others, I thought that was a problem inherent of the firmware and that had no solution, but, fortunately, I was wrong. The solution is very simple: just Clean User Data in Diagnost Page, choose Luxemburg as a country (among others) and your language. It is simple as that.

Below the step by step for users less acquainted:

1. from the home page of the gps, enter in the Volume page, press and hold the upper-right corner of the screen to enter in the "Diagnostic Page"
2. click on "Clear All User Data", but before backup your data if necessary (read note below).
3. gps restarts and requested the name of the country. Select "Luxemburg and press OK.​
4. following appears "Select Language", select "Other"/OK/your language/OK.
5. Change in Settings, the language of the keyboard, if applicable.
6. Ended procedures is necessary to tune patiently satellites, time-consuming process because the system thinks are in Luxembourg ..
Then test on the move on the street and everything will work perfectly.



* Backup of user data:
copy the current.gpx file of the GPX folder of Gps before of the reset (clear all user data, clear non vol, etc.) to any location on your computer, but changing the file name to current1.gpx. To restore the data copy back the file to the GPX folder of the Gps. Or use Basecamp or Mapsource for this.

** tested in Nuvi 3490 and 3790 mod with 3490 fw, so should be functional with all families of 2012 firmware already mentioned. It also works in "Pedestrian mode"

Hello all,
I did as indicated on a US 3750 converted to 34XX. Yes I got the street name ( driving on xxx street) and speed alarm. But when I copied back the current.gpx I did not get back my saved addresses and now when I wanted to save an address I got the error : Memory allotted for saved places is full. What is wrong? Can I safely delete the archive folder in the GPX folder ? If I deleted all the saved places will I loose the custom POI like truck down, etc..?
In advance thanks for any input.
