Bro
I just installed Kenwood DNX531VBT which come with Garmin Nav (micro sd with license). Every thing works fine but most of the time (80-90%) after the unit startup, i cant search POI, it show NO DATA AVAILBLE. After trying many hours, and found in this case, I remove the micro sd card and reinsert (with power on) I can search POI...Also why 10-20%of the time i can search without reinsert the card if no data in the card?

All senior.. please help.. :cry:

The seller/installer of the unit also cannot help.. :fire:

Could be one to combination of issues

Navigational firmware of Kenwood unstable ... thus map cannot unlock properly

Or default map unstable

Can test using our free maps and see if this works
Download our map and run installer to get map file gmapsupp.img

Backup first and replace map on SD card
See if this works

Hi Walter,
