Connecting the New Model Nuvi's to Mapsource

[Jan Horn]

The newer nuvis aren't designed to work with Mapsource, but its replacement Basecamp. However there is a work around that involves switching your nuvi from MTP to mass storage mode. To do this:

1. Start NUVI by itself and go to Volume Screen.
2. Press the upper right hand corner of screen for 10 seconds.
3. The Developers Screen will pop up
4. Scroll down to MTP SETTINGS
5. Change from AUTO DETECT to MASS STORAGE
6. Shut down NUVI and connect to PC
7. It should now connect in mass storage mode and Mapsource will see it.

As an alternative to step 1 above, you can bring up the Nuvi's "dashboard" screen, then press and hold the speedometer for about 10 seconds to access the developer screen.
