URGENT! Birdseye download help needed

Which device's GarminDevice.xml did you use?

The message you are describing seems to indicate that the device doesn't support BirdsEye.

Many on this site actually do dl even if there gps doesn't support the birdseye maps and later obtain the correct gps

They then go and buy the comparable devices later and load it onto that

I use my GarminDevice.xml file on a USB drive as well and it works fine because the device described in that file is my registered Montana.

I was under the impression that a BirdsEye Subscription could only be activated to a single, previously registered, "compatible" device. I didn't think that Garmin allowed a BirdsEye Subscription to be "moved" to another device once registered so how are folks doing what you suggest?


Cheers,

Birdseye FANS What now !!!

I was under the impression that Birdseye is for

ALL GARMIN USERS

I am a huge predicament

I form part of a huge Garmin club
We enjoy the outdoors
I told them about the Birdseye capabilities

ON PC and ON DEVICES

So they pleaded to me to pay and download certain areas that they can view it on pc, before putting it on their devices (off course paying)

We challenged other competitors for an outdoor competition, huge thing, knowing we would have Birdseye in our advantage on laptop and on Devices

I HAVE PAID FOR MY OWN DOWNLOADS
CONNECTED MY GPS DEVICE
PAID IN FULL

Now I can't dl

How on earth can I now go back to my group with this disappointment?

Why would Garmin take my money, with my device connected, seemingly now that I can't dl with an uncompilable device.

I am at a loss here.

Why don't you just download the images with your device that you have paid for then?

You can even put the device's GarminDevice.xml on an SD card, basically simulate the device, and download the images like that.

Although I'm sure these issues are important to him, I don't understand most of what MAPWORM posts. :)

However, if you have downloaded Birdseye imagery to your computer you can certainly move it to another device, provided that that device also has a valid Birdseye subsciption. It is not necessary to download it again from Garmin's servers.

I had 14+ GB of Birdseye on my computer from my Oregon 400t. When I purchased my Montana 600, I also purchased a Birdseye subscription for it. I was then able to send my existing imagery from Basecamp to the Montana.

However, it would not work to insert the same SD card from the Oregon in the Montana, since those .jnx files had already been unlocked for the Oregon.

MAPWORM,

You still have not told us which Garmin GPS you used to register your BirdsEye Subscription. Not all Garmin GPS are capable of using BirdsEye Imagery.

Cheers,

Nuvi 2360 LT
I bought my subscription
I think the salesman misled me completely

I was under the impression it was for the Garmin Community
Not only for certain devices too

Oh Well will just go and buy it

Thanks for all your time and feedback

Montana and Birdseye

Hi, I had purchased Birdseye imagery for my Oregon 450, when I upgraded to a Montana 600 I could not use the maps as they were invalid, so I purchased some more and downloaded to a mico sd in the Montana this was all ok, but I still cannot use the exisiting maps that I had for the Oregon as they come up as invalid, is there any way round this?
