Thread: Garmin Nuvi 3790T questions

Sorry but no POIs on 3790 US, it's a well knows issue, your Philippine friends are talking about other units-
The only way to show POIs while navigating is to have a Guide ,like Marco Polo -
like here


lol when I posted it I had a reply like this :

Hmm.... What model and what FW?
I cant see any POI from GARMIN map on GPS screen like that

I repeat ,if they can , should be nice they explain how

Ok these are screens from my 3790 US latest firmware 4.10, I loaded with Mapsource a part of RoadGuide map posted on forum, it shows in Nuvi as RoadGuide Ph POI map.
I cant see POIs : City of Manila not in navigation, just browsing the map





may be contributor gtv can show us his screens

Hi all
I suppose it depends on how POI are implemented in the map.
For European/US firmwares we have to use specific maps to see POI on different GPS models (like 765). POI display when browsing the map but not when navigating.
Some local (Asia) contributive maps can display DEM 3D and JCV (with Europe/US firmware) but it is still under experiment (malsingmaps). To achieve so they are using the original Garmin compiler.
Some newer models (3790) do not display polygons buildings... in the same order than older models. mappers are making some tweaks to there maps but so far nothing 100% working for all models when map is compiled with CGPSMapper.

The best thing to do in my opinion is to use an Asian model in Asia and Europe/US model elsewhere. Alternatively change the firmware of your receiver.
Just have a look to the new 3790V (Asia only)
