Thread: Post here please your help request regarding Garmin

Can anyone point me to Garmin Bluechart G2 pacific?

Hi

New to Garmin .. wow very very impressed after using others .. A quick question which of the Nuvi Model ( If any ) do the Dem Shading on compatible maps ? New and old if you know would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Probably all current nuvis support shading, which is kind of unnecessary feature for road navigation.

Hi

My 205w doesnt and I want to use the shading for off road mainly Off the garmin website seems the only one to do 3d terrain view is the nüvi® 3790T

Your GPS will show DEM only when you zoom out. You should be able to see DEM on basemap.

Thanks Kanopus .. I guess the 3D terrain is different to the dem do you know off hand if the 3790 T is the only one to do that ? I have seen what you said re zoomed right out I actually thought it was the world base map.

Well I got my new 5000 nuvi and its works well except it cant see my maps on the SD card. I have done exactly the same as I did on my 205w ( Same SD cards )
I have a Garmin directory and put in gmapsupp.img unlocked nothing , moved the gmapsupp.img to the root directory and nothing.... I am really bewildered here
. any clues would be really appreciated..

Hi

Well I sort of got it reading some detail maps .. it will read only on a up to 4 gg SD card where as the 205 w would do a 8 gig .. It will read and action the Oztopo 2.1 but when I do the Ver 3 it wont display it at all .. The version 3 is the one I really would like to work .. any help would be appreciated ..

I think that kind of display is possible on nuvi 3790, Chinese version of 3750, Oregon and Colorado. Some marine GPS should have similar capabilities with marine charts.
