My old Nav 5 was working fine until I tried to install the latest Maps 2024.1 when garmin express complained there was not enough space, and add a minimum of 16gb sd card it said.
There was already a 16gb card in it so I reformatted it to FAT32 as required and tried again several times.
I have tried an 8bg card ( maps take up about 7.5gb) but no luck.
Anyone had any trouble loading 2024.1 onto a Nav5 please?.
Apart from it being a complete arse ache when the new maps arrive and take nearly a day to download them.
MTP reminder.
I just bought a Nav 6. That accepted the new big 2024.1 maps OK, just took a day, BUT....
Mapsource could not see the Nav6 to download my routes to it. I've had this problem before.
so .... If Mapsource cannot see your Nav 5 or 6
You need to change the MTP settings from Auto to Manual. They are not easy to find. There are 2 methods.
1. On the Startup page Showing "Where to" and "View map" Press the "Volume" button. Now press and hold the top right hand corner of the Master Volume screen for over 5 secs. This will get you to the Diagnostics page.
or
2. Go to the "View Map" page and press the 3 bars on the bottom right. Scroll down to the "Trip Computer" now Press and hold the "D" shaped thing showing speed -mh- for over 5 secs.
This will get you to the Diagnostics page.
On the Diagnostics page scroll down all the way to "MTP settings" Select it and then select "Mass Storage" The default seems to be "Auto detect" but this will not work with Mapsource.
Select "Save" that's it. Press the back button a few times to get you back to where you started.
Hope that helps others.. D
