I've compiled a list of the necessary files for the US map updates, but I don't have any information from the other map regions.
I'd like to be able to provide an exact listing of the files for the EU, Australia, Middle East, South America, etc., vehicles.
The nuvi updates contain some large files that are not needed in the US region, and it would be nice to know which files can be safely omitted from the other regions if they're in the same boat.
These maps are starting to get pretty big, so being able to cull out the unnecessary fluff may allow everyone to get a few more years worth of updates...
I would like to have the information from both Garmin systems from each region, the CTP11/12 system from the 2011-2012 vehicles, and the CTP2013 system in the 2013+ models.
This should only take a few minutes of your time, and nothing will be modified in the radio.
The information needs to come from virgin radios that have never had a map update.
Here is what I need from the radios. I'll split it the procedures for CTP11/12 and CTP2013:
To identify CTP11/12 vs CTP2013
Go to the main "Where To?" screen:
CTP11/12 - "Where To?" icon is a magnifying glass.
CTP2013 - "Where To?" icon is an arrow.
CTP2013
CTP11/12
Please PM me with the results. I'll update the following list as the results come in.
