Garmin 2014.30 North America Maps SD Card for DNX9980HD
This package contains files that can be put on an SD card to update
a Kenwood DNX9980HD car stereo/navigation head unit with the latest
North American maps from Garmin, their 2014.30 (November 2013) update.
See included README for additional details.
You may want to apply the Garmin v2.2 firmware update before installing this SD
card with the map updates. That update is available at:
Code:Select all http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-00857-20
Instructions for installing are provided with the download but basically you
download the update file onto an SD card, put the SD card in the unit, power on
the unit and the update is applied.
To use the map update SD card, unpack the contents of the RAR files onto an SD
card that's at least 4GB large and formatted with the FAT32 filesystem. Insert
the SD card into your head unit and you should be good to go. The SD card must
remain in the head unit. If you remove it, you will revert to your original
maps.
You can check the map info under Settings to confirm that your unit is actually
using the updated maps.
