Custom messages & keyboard layout for various Nuvis

[silverbeauty]

Hi all, any cool layouts for nuvi 1460? 1st time trying to customize my nuvi

*Edit: I noted the post by Antyong but it's a kbd file and when clicked it open up as a html coding?*

Bro immorta25, that file is not zip. Just download and copy en_US.kbd into the Keyboards folder of your Nuvi drive

i tried this on my Nuvi 1240. But in my Nuvi, the files in Text folder are using the extension .glx if i'm not mistaken. Without thinking i just changed the .gtt extension to .glx, and now my Nuvi wont turn on. What should I do. Anybody can help. Any idea on how to factory reset the Nuvi or something. HELPPP....

JUST FOR NUVI 2465.
some user feedback 2465,2567,2575,LM40&LM50 also can use. Use for your own risk.

u all can modify yourself.
Use notepad++ to modify. Refer my edit file. All new nuvi is same.
if u want me help u to edit also can, u upload your en_us.kbd to me.

For fun, I have just modified a British English keyboard for nuvi 2xxx series to add short-cuts to popular words in our MfM map.

To access the short cuts, press 'Alt' on the keyboard.

Short-cuts include:

Jalan
Lebuh
Lebuhraya
Kampung
Sungai
Taman
Bandar
Bukit
Batu
Kuala
Lorong
Simpang
Persimpangan
Junction
Intersection
Bulatan
Roundabout

You can download here:
MFM GB Keyboard

Unzip the 7z file, and copy the KBD file to the nuvi drive under the \keyboards folder. Once you have copied my KBD file to your nuvi and you have restarted the nuvi in Garmin mode, go to Tools > Settings > Language > Keyboard Language and select "MFM English".

I have tested this keyboard on a nuvi 2465 and a 2575R, but I can't vouch for other models, although I would expect it to be ok with all the newer nuvi sets. If you're not confident it works on your model, please do not install this keyboard. This keyboard is provided as is and does not carry any warranty or legal obligation whatsoever.

NOTE: If you already have an British English keyboard in your unit, move the original file away from the keyboards folder to a safe place where you can retrieve it later on if needed (in other words, backup!).
