I don't think you can use Garmin map in your unit.

Its a WinCE device but I doubt it can use Mapking either

Hi,

I bought Nuvi 1340T in europe, and i'm back in Singapore now.
I have followed the instructions but the maps do not seem to be recognized, as my detail level is super low (like 10 roads only for all Singapore).

Any clue how to help ?
I have not found any hints on this GPS on this forum. Unit seems unknown over here.

Apparently, what you are seeing (10 roads only) is the basemap. Since yours is not a localised version, it is advisable not to install the MSM NT 2010.20 map since you can't view the Junction View. Download the regular version, MSM ver 4.39 from here. After downloading, just unzip, copy and paste the file (gmapsupp.img) to the Map folder of the root directory in either the main memory or micoSD card. If u dun have it, just create one. Very straightfoward as it does not even require any unlock codes.

Redstorm, thanks a lot, it works now...

Only regret that postal code search does not seem to work, but all the rest is here

well I also did another test, to put the locked map with unlock code received on garmin.
At startup the GPS tells me it could not unlock the map.

So I reverted to the unlocked map.

How did u save your unlock codes? If you did it with Notepad, then there can be one possibility where you have gone wrong. When you save your unlock codes using Notepad, under "saved as type" choose "all files" instead of "text documents". This is one common mistake made by many members resulting in not being able to unlock the map. Thanks.
