I assume that since you've successfully updated your GPS previously (from your question), you must have a Garmin account, registered your unit and Garmin Express installed.

With GE installed on your new computer, you should have no difficulty continuing to update your nuvi.

Would you like to back up a copy of your Garmin Nuvi 1490 Favorites and Waypoints?

Backup and Restoration Procedure for Favorites:

  1. From the Nuvi drive, copy '/Garmin/GPX/current.gpx' to a backup location on your computer.
  2. After a hard reset or loss of data, copy your backed up 'current.gpx' from your computer back to the '/Garmin/GPX/' folder on the Nuvi, but be sure to rename it 'temp.gpx'.
  3. On the next power cycle, the Favorites will be read from 'temp.gpx' into the non-user accessible memory area on the Nuvi where they are actually stored.
I hope that helps.

How can i reinstall my garmin on another computer

Hello,

There is no installation of a Nuvi GPS on a computer that I am aware of.
If you are looking for a way to view the map from the Nuvi on different computers, there is a program called BaseCamp that can be downloaded free from Garmin.
With BaseCamp and the Nuvi connected to the computer via a USB cable, the map and data can be viewed and managed.

Base camp unlock code not working

If you are having the correct unlock code and it does not seem to work on your garmin nuvi 1490T, then it means you have entered it more that 3 times and it is not receiving the unlock code. I will advice you reset the nuvi first before you enter the unlock code once again. To reset your garmin nuvi 1490T, ensure the battery is properly charged, then you press and hold the power on/off button for about 15 seconds, then the nuvi will restart and you enter the correct unlock code, then it will accept it.
If that does not solve the problem, then you need to connect your device to the computer, then you back up your softwares and files, then you format the device and restore the software and maps back on.
That should solve the problem for you.
