My guess is that the Magellan Tech Support guys prefer to tell you to not mess with the configuration (like changing parameters on the media.cfg file) to avoid newbies breaking their units and requiring repair, which costs them labor and shipping.

Hopefully this will be the case for other businesses too, where I could not find them by name and had to enter full address instead.

This restaurant had changed names two years ago and the old POI was outdated. The Magellan RoadMate 2055T-LM is as individual as you are with the comfort of a 4.3' screen, the convenience of Bluetooth, and the security of Free Lifetime Map and Traffic Updates. I also got Mexico now, which was not available on the original maps.Īlso, the POI file is updated and just last night I was able to find a restaurant I had to go to by just typing its name in the search box. Those addresses were in new house developments which probably didn't cut in time the old maps were released. I've already noticed that three addresses (2 in the US, 1 in Canada) I could not find on the old map, are now available. (why? I didn't have any other 2GB SD card at home at that time! Erased all files on the SD card, and loaded the new maps from the Spring 2009 edition. I made a copy of the original maps on the original SD card on my PC. Just need to update the media.cfg file accordingly. I have saved personal POIs on both the motherboard memory and SD cards with success. The memory size on the motherboard of the 1412 is rather small: 64Mb or something like that (I don't have it with me as I write this). I can say that it has always worked fine with the maps stored on the SD. I have a 1412 that has always used maps on the SD card, so I don't have a way to compare processing speed wit those that have it on internal memory. In this case, the maps shall be on the root directory of the SD card
Second error, these entries would require all maps and POI to be stored under a subdirectory MAPS. These were some of the lines of the media.cfg file I've got with the updated maps, which were wrong for my case:įirst, the SD card is called SDMMC, not 'SDMMC Card'. Installed it, and 'voyla', the unit can now recognize all maps.īy the way, if your unit was working with the maps on the SD card previously, don't bother updating the Media.cfg file since it'll point for maps on the HDD (internal memory) and won't work. Throughout the process I thought I had the latest firmware installed on my 1412: version 1.34.Īs a last resort, I visited Magellan and found out they had their newest firmware update as 3.12. Wasted hours getting the same error message. I struggled with this same problem yesterday.
