Oregon 300

[Little_frog]

I only know some tools for unpack, merge the gcd file from here: http://e-trex.info/archives/2008091737 and updater.exe.

This site is the originator of all the tools dealing with GUPDATE.GCD.
You can study in more detail here. http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topi ... _ID=115804
First, you should learn how to recover if it's go wrong. Otherwise, your Oregon may become a dead brick.
The K/B is not include in .GTT like others. It need modification inside the firmware. To modify Corolado K/B is even harder, since it use Rock & Roller type K/B.

I'm waiting for Oregon 400t TWN version. It has more functions than the US one.

Hi Little_frog,

Are you still there?:) Could you recommend a useful replacement for the two fonts: 006-D0952-05.bin and 006-D0952-06.bin for all languages in the world, or when not, then for all the Asian languages, so that the device can display the menus correctly, and maybe fonts on maps?

And when possible, please convert the files in bin-format and upload them here? Thanks!

It's really difficult.
I have tried some fonts to make my Garmin Oregon display other Languages (XOR file *.ttf with 0x7676, change some Strings to Sakkal Majalla Unicode..., name file to 006-D0952-06.bin) but without success:

- file Arialuni.ttf (23.275.812 bytes): the device hanged
- file DFU_HMD.ttf (10.559.544 bytes): the device could display some font in menu, but no font in map (only black boxes for Chinese), and after some menu selection, they disappeared completely.

Does anyone have idea?

The Taiwan version for Oregon is already out:
http://download.garmin.com/tw/download/ ... N_v280.exe

I saw that it has only 1 text file Taiwanese.gtt. Has someone already tried and say, which additional languages it can support when with appropriate text-file? e.g. Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean...(please make a list?) Does it still support European languages such as Russian, Greek, French, German... (dispplay on map, menus and input)?

Here is all *.gtt from my Oregon US version:

I just bought an oregan 300 and saved a track. I tried to receive it from device to mapsource but the result is no record.But the waypoints and maps can be done.

You can find your saved track in your device under Gamin folder > GPX file.

Garmin> GPX

You will find your save track.

Copy your track paste it to your pc. You can not send saved track to mapsource.

Very sorry it was not clearly written. What i meant is to transfer waypoints ,maps, and saved track from oregon 300 to PC through mapsource.But only saved track could not be transfer. It said no record on saved track.

You can only transfer current track to PC.
Saved track you need to copy and paste.

Hi Samra,

Did you finally manage to get your GPS display asiatic fonts?
I installed this taiwanese upgrade but nothing changes. As I added also the japan.gtt for japanese support, I have the gtt files for japanese and taiwanese in the text/ folder
however, when I try to change the language, everything becomes white, without any text.
On the other hand, if I try the arabic language, the maps and the menu appear nicely. I guess so that is a real problem of font.

I do not know exactly what to do to change the fonts in the garmin folders.

Ok, it works actually.

I managed to download the fonts with the taiwanese Nüvi 200 upgrade (http://download.garmin.com/tw/download/ ... N_v410.exe). Do not install this on your oregon, just unzip it and take the four bin files in the /nuvi200_TWN_4.10/nuvi200_TWN/Garmin/ExtData/ folder.

Then copy these in the Garmin/ExtData/ folder of your oregon and rename one of the file by giving it the name of one the file that was there previously (006-D0952-05.bin or 006-D0952-06.bin). For chinese localization, you will need the taiwan.gtt in the taiwanese upgrade, but I am not sure it is necessary for displaying chinese characters on the maps.

The handwritting mode is not working, but I guess it was just not installed in the european version of the oregon.

Dear Shaahrazade,

I follow your advice but I can't display Chinese menu, pls advise.
