Nuvi 1460 reads maps installed in the /.System Folder in the internal memory (not /Garmin Folder as for earlier Nuvis). Even so, it is advisable to place your maps in a /Map folder because you can name your maps with meaningful names like China.img instead of gmapsupp.img. Having said that, my recommendation is to buy an SD card and create your /Map folder in the card. An SD card is less than RM100 for even 8GB but to restore the 2GB internal memory, it would cost you a new GPS. Just simple logic and economics.

Dear Bro Zamoza,

The Traffic feature is not available in Malaysia. If you are in Singapore, you can have it if you pay extra for it but that only works in Nuvis with a 'T' as a suffix to the model number. The irony is that if you buy a T model (from USA or elsewhere), you have already paid for a life-time traffic feature which unfortunately does not work outside of USA unless you pay more. So if you click the Traffic option in the avoidance menu, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN if you are in Malaysia, or in Singapore but have not paid extra for the service or if your Nuvi does not have the T suffix.

I got a local version of the 1460 SG/MY.

In the .System directory, there is JCV directory. In it, there are 2 files, SgMyMal.JCV and SgMyTA.JCV.

I want to load my unlocked US 2012.10 map and the JCV file into the SD card.

I renamed the img file to gmapsupp.imp and placed it into the folder SD:\Garmin.
I placed the US2012.10 JCV file into the folder SD:\Garmin\JCV.

I powered it on. When I checked the map info, it shows only the MSM SG/MY JCV files are recognised. I can't see the US JCV file in the map info. The US img file is recognised.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a naming convention for the JCV file when the map is gmapsupp.img?

Thanks in advance.

There is no such thing as an "unlocked" US map. Any Garmin map has to be purchased and it usually comes preloaded in a new device with unlocked code or in a SD card where the unlocked code is tied to the SD card's ID. For localised set, it is not bundled with any foreign map and in your case, I believe, you got it thru other means which is considered illegal. Sorry, because of copyright infringement, we can't entertain your queries here. Thank you.

Hi,

Is there an upper limit for the number of addresses inside the address file in the CUSTOM POIs folder (Garmin/Poi/address.gpi)?
I have 75 addresses in the address.poi and the unit only reads 48 of them.

I have been working various ways for 1 day and still got no clue.
Help from the seniors and sifu's would be very muct appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Need help!!
My Nuvi 1460 out of sudden was unable to go to PC Mode. Once I connect it to my laptop, it just go into a charging mode.

Previously it was working fine when I updated my map.
The Traffic function icon is gone as well.

I search on the web to do a hard reset by turnning it on and pressing the bottom right corner.
And was unable to solve the problem....

Anyone has any ideas??

Do not use an external USB hub. Plug your Nuvi direct to USB port of PC/Lappy
Use a different USB port
Use a different USB cable
Use a different PC/Lappy
Reload Windows driver
Disable Ant-Virus ...........

I didn't use an external hub
Use a different USB port - Tried
Use a different USB cable - Tried
Use a different PC - Tried on 2 other PC....
Reload driver - will try that one
Disable - will try as well

Here is some troubleshooting tips from Garmin http://iqc.garmin.com/eCustomer/KODSelfService/request.do?create=kb:garmin&view()=c%7B7c0d7580-0494-11dc-e004-000000000000%7D
