From all the posting of Garmin 1460 Q&A,
I am doing a short summary on this Garmin 1460

Q - when I go into the 1460 Main memory there are no IMG files at all.
A1 - in folder address bar, type :\.System

A2 - On my unit on the ".System" folder (root directory) which is hidden folder there was a map file "gmapprom.img".
When this file was present I could not make the new map to work.
I deleted the file and save the "gmapsupp.img" to "gmapprom.img" and save it to the folder.
This made my system work without any problem.
The POI file was copied to the folder POI inside the Garmin folder as normally done.

A3 - Create a folder "MAP" and stored your maps in the same folder


Q - garmin 1460 support mp3? or WAV?
A - WAV.


And for a good review by Bro Jason Lee please go to Page 7, Post no 7. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4710&start=60

Hello, I am a new user and have the following questions:

1. What can the SD Card store?
2. Where can I get maps of other cities besides what is loaded in the device?
3. Are Garmin maps identical for all their devices?
4. Looks like the device suggests routes that includes small lanes ... Is there a way to avoid that?

Thanks,
Simon

1. What can the SD Card store? Sd can store maps. Create folder 'Garmin' and put 'gmapsupp.img'. Also can store Pictures as .Jpeg files if your devices have this function.
2. Where can I get maps of other cities besides what is loaded in the device? Not really understand :-? :-? but i think try load MFM maps first into your device and later u can share your experience with us :thumbsup:
3. Are Garmin maps identical for all their devices? Garmin maps can use for all Garmin Devices.
4. Looks like the device suggests routes that includes small lanes ... Is there a way to avoid that? All Garmin devices including GMXT software have 'Avoidance function' so u can set to avoid some 'unpaved road,toll,highway..and etc..

Thanks,
Simon

For nuvi 1xxx series, use this method.

I just got a Nuvi1460 to replace my Nuvi205W. Tried to load MFM file (latest 090914) using above method. When I use this map, the screen goes blank in a few second after I press View Map, and the unit reboot by itself. I have no problem with malsingmaps NT2009.5 which I copied from nuvi205W. Does this mean MFM map is not compatible with Nuvi1460? :cry:

Please report your problem in detail. Let us know how you create the gmapsupp.img (from MFM generator or Mapsource?) and what customization you use (Full? Partial? Exclude polygons?). Have you tried all the options?

I think the nuvi 1460 is having some software bugs.

Even with factory installed maps, it will also auto restart during address/POI search.

Here my experince using nuvi 1460.
gmapsupp created using MFM generator will result in rebooting when try to view map. Tried every option still the same. The most stable is using MFM generator to create 'lite' version of MFM. Rebooting only during navigation.
Both preloaded map from M** and Garmin city navigator work flawlessly but cannot compare in terms of details with MFM.
Pls help so 1460 owner can use MFM maps. :prayer:

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the solution will have to wait until one of our senior mapper is able to conduct tests on a Garmin 1460. Hopefully it will be a short wait :)
