MFM & Garmin Collaboration

[silverbeauty]

Been a long time since I have visit MFM.......my Nuvi 670 ( Dino age ) still works fine but needs an update.

Tried going to http://www.garmin.com.sg/mapupdate/ but they are asking for a unlock code which I cannot generate because my 670 was purchased from Ebay.

How do I go about doing an update for my DinoNuvi670 ?

Please advise.

Thanks

Though the Garmin-MFM map is free, your unit is not qualified as it is not a localized version

Thus your only recourse is to use the MFM version, downloadable from this link : viewtopic.php?p=123970#p123970

Download the installer, run it to generate the map file gmapsupp.img. Copy this to SD card/garmin

my question about map data from garmin website, pardon me for the lengthy question
my device is a local version

i download a mfm version file ( malfree_201210_255 ) from garmin website
in it , it comes with a garmin map installer
1. what does this installer do? install mapsource?

i extract the file to find map data folder inside consisting of jcv folder and gmapsupp file. i did not run the
setup.exe file of the installer.
2. can i just copy and paste the jcv into my default jcv folder in my device and the gmapsupp into my sd card that holds the map data?

3. am i right to say that the one from garmin website, though smaller in file size is a less detail file than the 100+mb file update we have from this mfm website, will not display cpoi, but can support jcv?

4. i am aware we can't use both at the same time. only way we can is to choose either one, from mfm or the copy from garmin to be the default map data, and the map data from mfm can't support jcv from website, am i right?

5. can i do this - sd card Garmin folder is mfm 100+MB map data
and then copy and paste gmapsupp from the garmin website into Garmin folder in the device memory?

it would install the gmapsupp file and jcv file in its appropriate place

i extract the file to find map data folder inside consisting of jcv folder and gmapsupp file. i did not run the
setup.exe file of the installer.


2. can i just copy and paste the jcv into my default jcv folder in my device and the gmapsupp into my sd card that holds the map data?
yes you can just copy the file onto the right place, also for the garmin official map
an unl file is required

3. am i right to say that the one from garmin website, though smaller in file size is a less detail file than the 100+mb file update we have from this mfm website, will not display cpoi, but can support jcv?

it support POIs but not as complete as cgsmapper version. Yes map this enable JCV

4. i am aware we can't use both at the same time. only way we can is to choose either one, from mfm or the copy from garmin to be the default map data, and the map data from mfm can't support jcv from website, am i right?

yes, from my experience, it can run. For How long? I dunno. The graphics on mine seems to stuck on cgsmapper version if bothe enabled. I stick to the NT version, while if no poi found, i will use the cgsmapper version to set my location revert back to the NT version.

5. can i do this - sd card Garmin folder is mfm 100+MB map data
and then copy and paste gmapsupp from the garmin website into Garmin folder in the device memory?

by default, the exe will install on the unit memory itself, but i prefer to have it on the memory card. So yes you can, but i think the map need to be in .system folder?

Did just that and generated the img for my Nuvi. It did not work. The maps were all gone. Had to revert to my old 2010 img file....lucky for me I back it up before downloading this new img file.

Doesn't it support the 670 ? What did I do wrong ?

Yes it dies. I have the map running on my 675 series Nuvi.

Please provide detail steps as to how and where did you put map file.
