I bought the 1250 and tried loading the MFM to the main memory /Garmin folder using the installer. But it does not show up in the maps selection setting.Any help is much appreciated.


Create a folder called "Map" in root of either device memory or your microSD card, and copy and paste your map file there. For the Nuvi 1xxx series, you are not limited to gmapsupp.img file name, so you can call this map mfm.img if you like.

Now my 1250 had this preloaded Garmin CN map, is it whenever there's a latest version in myGarmin, i can download it free?

How about the software, whenever there's a latest version, i can download it free too?

Thanks :)

Did it work properly BEFORE the MFM map install ?

What did you do during the MFM map install ?

Did you erase, modify any files ?

definately not..
it's been my practice to backup everything b4 i install a new map..
basically i had try run the nuvi after i installed the mfm map..and it's worked..!! but only after i copied back the backup file into my garmin, the garmin hang at start up...

hurmm... but if i accidentally delete an important file, is there any way to recover the file again..?
is there any way to access the garmin's disk..?

sighhh.... any adea sifu's..?

edited: just send the gps for warranty claim, don't know whether can or not. But the shop did say there are many cases like this due to new installation procedure on the new generation of garmin device. (1250 etc)

thanks

What maps is the set pre-loaded with ? What other stuff is inside the set ?

My experience, the bigger the map, the longer it takes to boot-up.
