Will appreciate if you can provide more specific instructions other than stating the obvious, that is searching google. Do remember, all of us have to start somewhere before we are capable enough to to handle on our own. Thanks.

I don't know the current MSM procedure. Previous need to submit 2x POI to get the unlock code, etc. Problem is, they give an old map for you. Obviously when I check new POI, it is not there. After submit, the admin says already exists *duh* How do I know it already exists in MSM new map, when they only allow you to use the older free map ? Anyway, that is my last year 2008 experience.

Now I use MFM-Lite (not MFM) on my N82. Faster map scroll and response from navigation. Goto MFM, goto forum -> download -> Search for MFM-Lite and download from there.

Extract the gmapsupp.img from zip, copy and paste into your memory card E:\Garmin\

It is that simple to update to latest MFM or MFM-Lite map. Thanks antyong if you read this.

BTW, I'm not related/promo MSM/MFM. Just my personal opinion only. I'm still new to GPS & Mapping also.

Thanks so much for the information!

Does anybody know the current MSM procedure for updating maps, still the same as before? If it is I guess I will probably have to switch to MFM-Lite as well.

Good to know that even a person new to GPS & Mapping is making an effort to help those newer than themselves. I wish the experts are not so quiet and can help out more. Thanks again Boboi!

experts dont lurk in here. they lurk elsewhere like kopitiam. and busy tracking new roads.

who here lives in a gated community thats not available in the map ? grant me access and i'll go. looking for residents to grant me access to this place :
http://wikimapia.org/#lat=3.0902937&lon=10...=16&l=0&m=a&v=2

opposite ptpl's college.

Thanks for the explanation. However, if any experts do happen to come upon this thread, please enlighten the newbies! Thanks in advance.

Buntutman, I am not a resident in that gated community, and cannot help you there.

it would be wise advice if i tell u to go to these recommended sites for your questions. may it be newbie questions, or technical help.

anyone noe where can purchase garmin for xperia? n d cost?thanks...

hmm heard from the news that gps will obsolete in a few years time due to low maintenance of the the satelites.

is it true?

wargh...really r? i just want to start my gps xperience here.....lol

i dont think that it is possible..there r million of gps users out there n wad they've paid for..jz gone like that? i think there wil b new satelites to replace the old one if the old 1 is nt functioning..i dont think that it wil obsolete completely

Each GPS satellite will have limited supply of fuel for its jet to align itself from time to time. Also wear and tear. US are sending up GPS satellite from time to time to replace or have more satellite at certain area for better accuracy and faster response by GPS devices to pick up more signals.

GPS is mainly used by US for its military. It will not be obsolete unless US comes up with something new. It will be there for a long long time. And US will bear the cost of sending it up, as part of it are funded by the Dept. of Defense. We will still get it for free.

During Cold War, Russians develop their own "satellite navigation" system, called GLONASS. Google/Wiki to read further.

Western Europe also beh tahan. Kiasu and wants its own system. Hence EU comes up with Galileo

I would say GLONASS will not be popular, but Galileo will be something to play with in coming years to compete/complement GPS.

Satellite navigation is useful for many things such as road construction, toll fare collection, carbon emission tax based on distance/area travelled, etc. which are mainly implemented in EU.

warghh, gud info bro...

Upgraded to MFM v1.59 and MFM-CPOI v2.00. Noticed the traffic lights are no longer there. Which file does the traffic light resides?

I only notice the "MFM-Redlight Cameras (GMXT).gpi"

Still not yet test on other roads that I used frequently on the Speed Traps.

Ok, I have switched over to the Lite version and able to see the traffic light now.
