Well I've downloaded the whole shebang all over again from Garmin.

Once again I got 2 x 2GB maps ... but only one .jcv file and no more quantities of SID , SQLITE etc.

It looks like I may have to get my entitlement of files from somewhere else, then.

What size is your .jcv file?

I wouldn't worry about the SID etc files though.

will update later this weekend

do garmin have an official forum for devices or is it just for the software?

The forums cover some devices, mainly their sports stuff, nothing for handhelds or vehicle devices though.

DeJaVue from the DEM file a while ago.

If you haven't got a file then GE won't issue it, they will only update, not correct.

Thanks for the info on the filename, Suss. That soon helped me to find it.

I think I've got a 20 Mb limit for email attachments, but the new file is 182 Mb.

Correct, it's 182Mb ... if you pm me your email I'll email you a link where you can download it, not the file so email limit isn't an issue Wink

Or have you now downloaded it from elsewhere?

I'm already sorted out, thanks very much, Suss.
I found the file elsewhere this morning, installed it and working OK.

Just did mine after I uploaded the latest cameras. It chugged away for two hours and overwrote the original installation. I never got the option to move to SD card but it all seems to work. I punched in Split and Venice just to check if any European places were present and they came up then a restaurant in Barnet, so I "assume" all is well. Garmin don't seem big on update information though, do they.

Can't help but wonder with the increase in in-built car sat navs that can be updated over the air or by USB, and Google Maps/Waze we might be looking at the near demise of separate devices. Drove a car with this system last week and it had everything on it and it was not top end.

I've tried numerous 'in built' systems and never been impressed. What I wish the car manufacturers would do is allow us to simply slot our devices into their cars ... I find it far too tricky to plan routes etc on my car while sitting at home Twisted Evil

Best place to seup your satnav for a trip is on the sofa in front of the nice warm fire the night before. Not out in a cold car on the drive.

Exactly
