Hi Garmin Users

Recently purchased hopefully a working "USED GARMIN NUVI 1340"

I was wondering how begin to learn, about patching and updateing the device

I have had a TOMTOM XL GPS for several years and thanks to the advice and information on this site and the excellent resources available have installed new Navcores and Maps succesfully.

I now would like to do the same with the Garmin

I worked in IT support in a UK university for over 25 years so I have problem understanding the computer side of it ie. files and folder strucure of the device

Can someone please point me in the right directon ?

Many thanks for taking the time to read this

For Garmin devices map updating and other things are much easier than for TomTom's.
You only have to copy the right file into the right folder: tutorials-f90/image-names-and-paths-for-garmin-devices-t4675.html
