Please Help!: What is the "<PartNumber>" near the beginning of the GarminDevice.xml for the Dakota 20? [see below]
I've been playing with my previously reported problem some more, editing the GarminDevice.xml from my wife's nüvi 1300.
With the version here, Garmin's WebUpdater.com recognizes the device but says nothing is there:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Device xmlns="h#p://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GarminDevice/v2" xmlns:xsi="h#p://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="h#p://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GarminDevice/v2 h#p://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GarminDevicev2.xsd"><Model><PartNumber>010-00781-01</PartNumber><SoftwareVersion>330</SoftwareVersion><Description>Dakota 20</Description></Model><Id>3635700000</Id><RegistrationCode>1AA057000</RegistrationCode><Unlock><Code>A00AA0A0A0A00AAA0AAAAAA00</Code></Unlock></Device>
[# substitutes for tt to avoid prohibited "external links"]
If I change the part number to the nüvi 1300 part number from its GarminDevice.xml, WebUpdater sees it as a nüvi 1300 and will go into the process to update the Firmware - possibly stopping before actually overwriting the firmware - and ending with an error message.
After reloading maps, the unit is about where it was before the attempted nüvification. Works normally with uploaded maps & waypoints, won't wave a waypoint.
What's fun is that with the file as listed above, the program Garmin Express recognizes the unit as a Dakota 20, tells me the correct "serial number" not the altered "registration code" in the file, reports that the software version is 3.30 or 3.10 from the file, whichever it says, not actual 3.10 - and tells me that the "device software is up to date," which is manifestly not true.
But the problem is that "<PartNumber>" is not the retail part number [sku] i provided, but something different - the nüvi has 006-B0972-00 in the file, but 010-00782-40 as retail.
Can anyone help?
Thank you
