Europe DEM file on a Garmin Nuvii 3598LMTD

[Kremmen]

Well tested then

I wonder how many unit returns they've issued as part of the standard script ?

Really not an issue unless all the advice on pretty much every forum to make a full backup wasn't followed

No different to your PC really, back it up as one day you might need it. Someone on TV this morning moaning because her laptop had been stolen and she'd lost all her photos, music etc. No excuse really with memory of various types so cheap these days

Should replace it as it will be seen to be missing .... However until it happens who knows

A quick question for sussamb. Does my Garmin Zumo 590 use the same DEM file?.

I have managed to restore the 3597 thanks to lillyelse. Before adding the DEM to the Zumo I just want to check it uses the same file.

[sussamb]

Not sure whether the Zumo 590 uses a DEM file but if so it should be the same.

Edit: it does so copying it across should work

I don't disagree with that, just that if you have a back up you'd be okay. We pay those who make computers for us but we still back the data up, if we're sensible, just in case something goes wrong

I agree

As far as Windows goes I have a two pronged attack. I have an external HDD permantly plugged in and another external HDD, not plugged in. Both are 1Tb so plenty of room for my needs.

I use the free version of 'SyncBack' (by 2 Bright Sparks) to perform regular daily scheduled backups of all my data to the connected HDD and a manual run to the non permanently connected HDD on demand. I cannot recommend SyncBack highly enough. It is a superb program that backs up each area you tell it to at the frequency you tell it to and it takes care of the situations where the PC is off when a schedule is missed by doing it next time it can. Some data areas I backup hourly whilst others are one or twice a day. And it is super quick as it only backs up new and changed files if that's what you tell it to.

I do also use the Win7 built in backup full shadow copy routine monthly but I'm not sure if that would recover from an OS failure. I have read of many instances where TrueImage has taken a full image, verified it, but when needed in anger has failed so I don't use that any more. In my case if I had an OS failure I'd probably reinstall from scratch. So far though, never needed to do that this millenium. The failed to find an OS was usually linked to a full HDD where critical Windows files on shutdown could not be written.

Tried out new version of GE (4.1.28.0) to see if it replaced the missing DEM file. Sad to report it did not mention DEM file as an option, and reinstalling the maps did not bring it back either.

lillyelse, would you please send me a copy of the DEM file now you have a method of sending it? Thanks in advance. I really do miss the 3D effect.

At the risk of repeating my post on the GE subject, confirm the DEM file was not replaced on 3598 either.
Still waiting for answer from Garmin support.
