Getting maps on my Garmin nuvi 3490

Recommended Posts

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.

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,
