Thread: Kenwood DNX9990HD: Loading 2014.30 Maps on Internal Memory - It Works!

I just updated my maps on my Kenwood DNX994S. Was on the original 2017 maps and loaded the 2020.30 NT North America maps. Using the method that stickweld shows. I renamed the unlocked map image file to gmapsupp.img and created two empty files: gmapsup.unl and gmapsup.gma. This was all done on an SD card. I did initialize the card on the head unit to create the Garmindevice.xml file. Thanks for posting this information!

Jr!

I tried this on my 994s and have been trying it for a bit since I got the head unit more then a year ago wanna go into details about what you did?

Just did my 994S and had the same problem you did. What I did to fix it was started with a fresh formatted SD card and then added the needed files. Something on there was keeping the update from going into the unit. Not sure what "extra" file there was but it kept the card from working.

can you list the files that where on your card?

Garmin folder
JCV folder
PNX folder
SID folder
garminDevice.xml
gmapsupp.gma 0KB
gmapsupp.img
gmapsupp.unl 0kb
gmaptz.img
trafficprovider.xml

The 0 kb files are empty made with notepad
