|
|
Brother-in-law has a UK i3 with 2.70 software, v8 maps on a transflash card.
He has bought and unlocked MapSource Europe and has uploaded Holland and Belgium to a shiny new 512mb card, plugged it into the i3, swithced on and gets a message along the lines of 'use pc application to install mapping sofware...' or somesuch.
I told him to press the back button, having read this on the forum somewheres, but he says this makes no difference.
Any ideas? _________________ Garmin i3 gone (sold on eBay)

Should work !
What software did he use to upload the maps: Mapsource, img2gps or sendmap20 ?

He used Mapsource.
Does he have to press and hold the back button, maybe? _________________ Garmin i3 gone (sold on eBay)

when you say unlocked are you talking about metroguide and if so it needs to be loaded with sendmap or metrowizz(even easier)? _________________ i3 2.70(went to 2.82,3.0,3.1 but downgraded) with V8 map on microSD card

Sorry, not made myself very clear - he has 'Garmin City Navigator Europe V8' which he has unlocked in Mapsource with a 25 digit code on his PC.
He has created a map set including all of Belgium and Holland and used the 'send to device' transfer function, selecting the transflash card which is in a card reader attached to the PC. _________________ Garmin i3 gone (sold on eBay)

You can only install the maps onto 2 devices.
Have you tried installing the maps direct onto the i3 with the card installed instead of installing using the card reader? |
