Uploading V9 Maps to my i3

[richard5]

Hello All

Got my V9 disc, unlocked OK, selected maps and loaded onto my i3 (with SD Card)

Now when i switch on i3 all it says is

"Please use the provided PC software to load maps, containing turn-by-turn route information" with a little graphic of a PC plugged into an i3. Wont let me do anything else.

Luckily I backed up my SD card first, re-copied everything back and all is OK (except only ver 8 maps)

Am I doing something wrong, I also tried doing it via a card reader and not via the unit itself, with the same results.

Can anyone give a step by step guide to how they loaded their V9 maps onto an i3 please.

Many thanks

Have you read through the other threads about the v9 mapping?

If you had you would have seen my offer to send the updating instructions I received from Garmin to anyone who PMd their email address to me.

I have had the same problem, and it appears the unlock code is not unlocking the maps. Andy at Garmin is on the case, as it only happens on 1 of the three models.

i3, on the middle of the dash, works just fine!

There are things that I know and you don't know, there are things that you know that i don't know, but always remember there is much that we both don't know.
