Hmm guys just wondering why you all recommending malsing maps? Is it really that good? Because so far, my experience with malsing maps is that it's not very complete...i wanna find wangsa maju also don't have lol. Using this year's version. Whereas mapking's map at least can find those major places, but those small roads not very accurate.

MSM never failed me.. i can find almost 80% road names in KL using street/address search.. not to mention POIs ... so many POIs till my PC got heavy to load the map in Mapsource.. proud to be VC thumbup.gif

referred to the snapshot above, i can say there is only one PJU 1/46 .. because the search result shows only one PJU 1/46... it just the road is longer than other road (PJU 1/46a , 1/46b etc) ...

and for personal use, i don't mind if it shows two PJU 1/46 as long i know approximately where the road is.. its better than two results , one PJU 1/46 in Petaling Jaya, and another one in Setapak.. that surely will confuse u..

i agree when u say there are a lot of errors.. and sometimes we don't see any difference on the next released version on errors reported but considering its a totally FREE MAP, its an outstanding superb map with thousands of POIs n address search for the whole Peninsula and Borneo as well... in fact its much better than never-complete official Garmin map..

this is only personal review.. i'm not interested to drag this argument as the issue is very subjective.. as u know MSM is a free-non-paid map.. its nothing to lose smile.gif

Have a nice day

hi guys, im new to  gps. Im now using garmin xt with malsing map using my diamond. I realized that the map is not so accurate, e.g i already reached a t junction but the map shown my car is still a few meters away from it, so, is it normal?

Our vehicle obviously faster than our location shown on GPS software.. regardless what software or GPS device u're using.. but its not going to be too far, i think max is 10meter depend on ur speed.. anyway try these settings on ur Garmin MXT to get more accurate position Tools>Settings>Map>Show Location>ON ROAD
