Hello everyone my first post, so please be gentle...

A couple of weeks ago i have acquired a Garmin Nuvi 300 (it came in a joblot of electronics i bought) i don't know the history, so charged it up and it does work flawlessly.

It runs City navigator V8 with uk and ireland maps. I tried to upgrade the maps to latest 2013 western europe maps to no avail.
If i bring the maps through ...

Guys,

I´m interested in buying a Nuvi 50 GPS.

Just wanted to ask if there are any limitations for using unlocked maps on it or any other known problems with this model

Thanks!!

Hello,

I was wondering when i convert gmapsupp.img to Mapsource with GmapTool (Topo graphic maps like France v3) is it possible to maintain the routing options?

With City Navigator NT this works, but I wasnt able to use routing with Topo's

Howerer I made the conversion with older version of GmapTool

Cheers!

Garmin Sat Nav C550 Battery replacement on the cheap

The battery died in my Garmin C550 SatNav
and it would only work via the 12v car
charger. I looked up the replacement
batteries and they were from £18.00 to silly
money, plus I would have to wait for
delivery. I decided to use some old AA NiMH
rechargeable batteries I had lying around

old hand with tomtoms but fairly new to Garmin. i have an old nuvi 205w which i have updated previously using the simple method of placing unlocked image file in Garmin folder on sd card with no problems. However i have downloaded Huntsmans CN Europe NT 2014-10 unlocked version and placed it in folder named Garmin as before but the device does not see this map.

Also what does FID 2969 under the map download ...

I have a basemap 4.0 on nuvi 265w,can i change to basemap 5.0?anyone help?thanks

Where would I find aviation maps for New Zealand to suit the aera 795?

I tried running map reverse converter and gmaptool and all these things ...
