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

Wow. Day 2 on here and my post made it to the tutorials!!!

Well, I did some tinkering and found out the following:

1) I couldn't load the map without the .gma and .unl file (first I deleted both and said map incompatible. Then I added .gma, same deal. Finally added .unl and it loaded - maybe the .gma file is not needed but it definitely won't work without the .unl file)

[EDIT: I tried again with the .unl file but without the .gma file and it still did not work - I needed both these files in the root directory for the map to load]

2) Some files are not necessary - I deleted several files and everything is working fine. You'll notice that among the deleted files are the Insta Search, Fast Routing and ASR folder - the ASR files are for Advanced Speech Recognition which, as Lolypop000 correctly pointed out - this unit does not support speech or Insta Search. The 3D map image file is also unnecessary. I reloaded the map without all these files and everything works perfectly.

I also added a couple that are referenced in the .xml directory. Here's my new file structure:

Garmin Folder:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

G2S Folder (referenced in xml file as "Garmin Adjacency to SSID"):
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

JCV Folder(referenced in xml file as "Preprogrammed Lane Assist" (Junction View)):
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Pnx Folder (referenced in xml file as "Preprogrammed Phone Number Lookup"):
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

SID Folder (referenced in xml file as "Traffic Trends v3):
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

SQLite Folder (referenced in xml file as "Traffic Trends"):
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Those are the only ones I decided to add, but according to the xml file, there can also be a POI folder for custom POI's and safety cameras (those files have a .gpi extension). I just didn't care to add any.

I did try to add custom vehicle icons and voices while reloading the maps but so far I haven't been successful.

It is very interesting to meet in one device 2 version of TrafficTrands. MapUpdater usually download only one version - or DB or SID even if both present in xml.
