Asscotton Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hi guys I've made some maps with Mapwell that I would like to use with my Garmin nuvi 3490. I have yet to figure out what type of format a "car GPS" uses. Is it .img just like the handheld ones? I've tried to put a .img file on the memory card, but the map won't display. Also tried loading the map with Garmin Mapinstall, but the map does not appear as an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 any error displayed as you try to load it into your gps handled? all garmin should use the same format, img format try to clear the map temp cache, on your PC, and try to update some threads I search suggest that nuvi 3490 with MLT, have live time update for map,have you try this? regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asscotton Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 The LMT does not apply in this case as there is no maps for the area I need. As mentioned, I have made the map (as an .img) myself using Mapwell. I will, however, try to clear the map temp cache. Thanks for the reply.
