phew thats why..
the officialwebsite didnt release yet..>>> http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection....ct=010-11034-00
only at taiwan site..

u can verify its working by using the AB map first. while u in malaysia, manually browse the map to AB location and check that all the locations and roads are visible. technically, as long as u put the map that u want to use as gmapsupp.img, it should work. unless the map is not free and has a keycode, that's a different story.

Wow, after renaming MSM to something else and leaving only MFM 1.72 available to GMobile XT. Today is the first time Garmin asks me to do a U-Turn while MSM just asks me to Turn Right, Turn Right. Besides custom POI, I find MFM polygon is also much better. I see some blue lake-shape polygons to show the lake near my house, whereas MSM is totally blank. MFM also shows the street name on which I'm driving.

The only complain is perhaps MFM is too sensitive. I got 5-6 announcement of 'recalculating' compared to 2-3 from MSM. Strange enough, the announcement was made when the car is stationery or stuck in the traffic or stop at the traffic light where there are no tall buildings around. Sometimes the map even show my car is in the reverse position and heading to the opposite direction. When I move the car again, 'recalculating' again and the map shows the right track. I can't blame it on the weather because this morning is a sunny bright day.

I'd like to contribute but still learning how. I'm not sure how accurate my N82 internal GPS can be or good enough to contribute. I see my track was way off the road after using raceChrono, literally driving on the green polygon in the map!!!

Actually, I've installed raceChrono to keep my track and export it to GPX file. Yesterday when i was still using MSM, I launched the file using Mapsource and dotted line was shown on the map. The track will be really off while Garmin announce 'recalculating'. I've recorded my track this morning (using MFM & raceChrono), tonight go back home i'm gonna see the GPX file again.... to see how bad the track was when Garmin was announcing 'recalculating'.

i guess the gps accuracy is not good enuf wen two roads in the opposite direction are side by side to each other. i had times when i started a new route but the gps started my route on the opposite lane. no choice but to let it recalc the route again.

if u are having problems with the recalc in traffic very often (and annoyed), u can try changing the options of the recalc under settings, either to 'prompted' or 'off'

You mean Garmin will still do the recalc but won't say it out loud when I select 'off' or 'prompt'.

Let say if I really go the wrong way like missing a turn, will it say it out loud to guide me back to the right direction or just keep quite and let me go the wrong way?

prompt will ask u if u want to recalc.
off, if not mistaken, it wont recalc, so if u miss, the routing still continue. then u sendiri pandai pandai get back on track lah.

cactus - off agps and use a re-rad. and buy a damn good one.

I did not turn on AGPS at all (save few cents....haha). Without AGPS still can connect quite fast, usually stand in the open area 30 seconds can lock satellite already.

Sorry what is re-rad???

Aiya, want to save money that's why i bought N82 (double as mp3 player, digital camera, GPS, ebook reader & phone).

re-rad= re-radiating antenna for gps units, something like an external antenna extension.

if u're gonna continue using race chrono to record your movements u've gotto have a re-rad. otherwise your tracks are all gonna be messed up.

when u expand your tracks, u'll get colored segments. i dont need to tell u that the red line portions are crap details yah. yellow means fairly good and green obviously is fine.

when i was in sabah without re-rad, i got a lot of red portions in my recorded tracks. ALOT. and my tracks came back mostly like ........ crap.

pls buy a good re-rad antennae.

would like to know how to set the garmin so that it will not bring me to the highway?

Would like to try travel from ipoh to kedah without using highway.. lolz

me too...no signal at all,but sometimes can get 1 signal only.

Search somewhere in the options there for "No Toll". I remember I saw it before.

Red signal = not locked
yellow = locked, but weak signals or insufficient satellites
green = locked and good to go.

Correct, and I recall I read somewhere in LYN to get GMXT from authorised disti/resellers only. They have a list somewhere, someone posted before.

No piracy/mod/hack/illegal/Jack Sparrow discussion in LYN.

Kindly be informed that discussions regarding crack/warez is strictly prohibited within this forum.

u can set at:

tools > settings > routing > avoidance setup > check [3] toll roads

anyone use GARMIN on N95 ? y i feel it so LAG ?

Thanks guy for the information on aviod tolls..

Another questions i have is,
I got a lot of icons that used by garmin appear in my N82 gallery..

browse ur garmin folder using windows, then set properties of the files/icons that u see to 'hidden'.
