Lisa !!!!!!!! Please Help

Thanks for your help BUT I deleted the old map as you suggested in my previous post, you helped me with, and now the "City Navigator North America" is not working any more.

I deleted:

City Navigator North America NT 2013.4.img
ABunchOfNumbersAndLetters.gma (that had the same date as the above City Navigator file)

I obviously did something wrong and I don't want to do anything else till I hear from you
Please Help

  • You don't say which device you have? However check in settings somewhere and see what map it shows as installed, and ensure its checked.

    I have a Montana 650t.

    After reading the previous post which Lisa has closed and my current post can you tell me if I deleted the correct files to remove the old "City Navigator North America NT" 2013.4 that Lisa suggested. I have checked and the new CNNA 2017.20 is enabled.

    After I enter a new destination address and press GO I get a error saying:

    Route Calculation Error:
    Maps do not have routable roads in this area.

    This is a good/real address........It appears to me the GPS can't find what it needs to calculate a route.

    Here is the address if you want to try it.
    29 McIntyre Dr, Fenton, Mo

    I have gone to this address with the Montana already and it worked, before I delete the above listed files.

    Thanks for your help

  • If the new map is enabled then all should be well. Have you tried manually zooming into the area of that address to see if the map exists there? One possible problem is that you've only downloaded part of the 2017.20 map.

    Look in the Garmin folder of your Montana. What is the size of the largest gmap*.img file?

    I've checked that address and it does exist in the full 2017.20 map.

    Ensure too that no other map is checked, since having multiple maps selected that cover the same area can cause problems.

    ********
    Could you please answer my first question?

    As per Lisa (Garmin Express Customer Care) suggestion to save memory, I delete the old Version of "City Navigator American NT 2013.4" (CNANT)

    I deleted from my SD card two files:

    City Navigator North America NT 2013.4.img
    ABunchOfNumbersAndLetters.gma (that had the same date as the above City Navigator file)

    ABunchOfNumbersAndLetters I don't remember the exact numbers or letters.


    ????????
    Did I delete the correct files from the SD card to remove the old version of the map from the Montana 650t????????
    ????????

    Prior to the deletion of CNANT 2013.4 with CNANT 2017.2 installed and selected worked, I used it a couple times.

    --------
    "Have you tried manually zooming........"
    Currently when I select the Map icon to display the street map NO streets show.

    --------
    "One possible problem is that you've only downloaded........"
    It worked prior to the deletion of the above listed files.

    --------
    'Look in the Garmin folder of your Montana. What is the size of the largest gmap*.img file?"
    The largest and only ".img" file is on the SD card:

    City Navigator North America NT 2017.2.img it is (2,706,048KB)

    Prior to deleting "City Navigator North America NT 2013.4.img" was also on the SD card.

    There are NO gmap*.img prefixed files

    --------
    "Ensure too that no other map is checked, since........"
    Only map enabled is CNANT 2017.2

    Thanks for your help

    I am sorry you are having trouble with the current City Navigator maps. First to answer your question, deleting the "img" and "gma" files for the "City Navigator North America NT 2013.4" is correct. If you had deleted the ones for the current map, it wouldn't list the map on your device.

    From what you describe, it sounds like the current map did not download completely. The reason it worked before is when there are two maps covering the same region, it will look at them both and provide you with the newer map. Since the "2017.20" was missing (in that area), the newer one was the "2013.40". So, all we need to do to correct this issue is reinstall the "City Navigator 2017.20" map and make sure it is finished before we unplug the device. Please try the FAQ, "">Install maps to a device with MapInstall">Install maps to a device with MapInstall".
    • After MapInstall says complete, make sure you "Safely Remove" or "Eject" the Montana 650t before you unplug it from the computer.


    Let us know if you have more trouble.

    I deleted:

    City Navigator North America NT 2013.4.img
    ABunchOfNumbersAndLetters.gma (that had the same date as the above City Navigator file)

    already and

    City Navigator North America NT 2017.2.img
    ABunchOfNumbersAndLetters.gma (that had the same date as the above City Navigator file)

    is still installed on my SD card

    Should I delete the CNNANT 2017.2.img or should I do MapInstall right over the existing CNNANT 2017.2.img


    Thanks for your response

  • If you use MapInstall again it should overwrite the earlier map, but you can delete those files should you prefer to.

    I used MapInstall and reinstalled "City Navigator North America NT 2017.2" WITHOUT deleting the existing one on the SD drive. This time it said there was not enough memory so I went in and tried to only install the lower 49 states. After it was done installing while I was testing it I notice there were some towns south of the border that appeared to be showing up. I don't know if I missed removing them from the install list or not????????

    It seams to be working, although it seamed to have a problem finding Las Vegas........eventually after a number of tries it did. Did not give me a good feeling........I will have to take it out on the road and do some more testing.

    Previously it worked but then when I got away from home it started not working........I hope that does not happen again.

    Anyway for now it appears to be working.

    Dave and SUSSAMB thank you for all your help
