Whoaaa..din read my earlier posting-kah biggrin.gif KL, Prk, NPM, Seremban & EPM..for sure it's malfreemaps...but for Melaka, Johor & Singapore, at this point of time MSM still ahead but Malfreemaps is catching up pretty fast...as what Ajay mentioned, if u wanted to keep both maps, just change one of the maps as gmapsup2.img instead of gmapsupp.img

Oh yea, missed that out tongue.gif

I am using Malfree in MapSource, never go out these few days, so no chance to try out in my phone tongue.gif

The real logo is really useful though, no need to check which shop/petrol station, look at the logo and we know the POI already laugh.gif

Not sure whether SE W760 is symbian bcos current Garmin or even mapking is based on Nokia Symbian models. U can try & check the 1st page link to Garmin to check compartability or else I think the only naviagtion that suite this phone is only Garmin Maps which dun offer any route navigation for M'sia

normally if i am going to a place new to me, i'll look at the map at mapsource on the PC first & plan my route properly, get to know the area visually taking into account the important landmarks. then on the day i'll use gps when i approach the place. it would be easier that way

learn to listen to the direction it will tell you when to turn when to keep left and look at the 400m -500m when to turn. Its not confusing for me when u get use to it.

it it possible to

1 - change the voice nav to different voices in a standalone garmin say nuvi 205W's ? are there free voice files ? i know where to get tomtom's voices but not garmins. (btw i'm talking bout da freebies of teh intehnets not the pay punya)

2 - change the voice nav to different voices in GMXT softwares. ada free punya ka and got step by step guides or not ?


all i know is the voices that they provided off my-garmin really is sad case. not sexy japanese girl type voice , no knight rider punya. i found 3rd party but haf to pay. can get tom cruise voice and yoda voices.

thanks in advance.

Hi all. I am going to KL and I must say that I am an alien there. So, I am going from North Malaysia to KL, and I plan to purchase a GPS, be it a Nokia 6210 or a standalone GPD device. The catch is:

1. I do not know which is better for KL roads. I need to go to Subang Jaya. DO i need the map for that place? or there is map that covers the whole KL area
2. Which Device is better, and recommended?
3. Say I load the map of Penang, then when I reach, say Rawang, the map will auto change to Rawang map?

Thanks for the help
