After finished installing all those files, I noticed there are some icons created in the Gallery togoehter with the photos. Can I delete all those icons? Will it affect during navigation?

QUOTE(chicaman @ Dec 26 2008, 04:57 PM) If not mistaken different region of map has different file name, GMAPSUPP.IMG is for asian region if not mistaken. Thank you sifu. For me, I use shorter distance. But if I dont know how to go a place, whichever way can bring me there is still ok with me since I am using NGV, driving further with NGV is cheap  Read the FAQ in first page. Turn on ur AGPS if u want to use it, but for me, I prefer to use without AGPS. First page got the steps to turn on/off AGPS  If u don see them, then ignore them  |

QUOTE(sunnyboy @ Jan 16 2009, 09:13 AM) i'm using garmin mobile 10x, and pair with SE p1i for GPS navigation. Haha in your earlier post, you mentioned you want to change the unit at home.garmin 10x is a standalone bluetooth GPS receiver, rite? then i'll need to recharge the GPS battery...but then inside the package of garmin 10x, they only provide 1 unit of in-car 12v charger(which we plug it into the ciggratte hole. what if i want to charge the 10x at home, where can i buy the charger? that 1 can plug into our house power cord.. hope u guys can understand what i want to said...sorry for the poor english..haha Now I know you want to charge the unit at home. Why don't you just go and buy an adapter that has an output of 12V dc and xAmp (this depends on your garmin 10x is rated how many Amps). |

QUOTE(stalkie @ Jan 21 2009, 11:39 AM) Thanks for the reply... just want to make sure that it can be done, by the way... is it straight forward to download and load it to memory for it to run? Still thinking of getting 1 GPS... It depends on how they provide you the map file. If the file name is gmapsupp.img then you can straight away copy to your Garmin folder. Before that, better to rename the current gmapsupp.img to another name first so that when you return to Malaysia, you can use back that map.Anyone use it for traveling not just for their cars? |

You need to go to Tools, Settings, System, Remote GPS and select Use Attached/Built-in GPS.

If you have done it the right way, there is an option for you to choose an External GPS device or Built-in GPS device.
The default is External GPS device. |

I noticed some posts were disappeared from this thread.
Someone mentioned that we can have two maps in the Garmin folder. Malsingmap and Malfreemap. Malsingmap - Gmapsupp.img Malfreemap - Gmapsup2.img When these two maps put in the Garmin folder, how does Garmin know which map to use? Is there a setting where we can select which map to use? |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Feb 17 2009, 01:40 PM) MFM v1.42 + topo map on N82 v31 with GMXT 5.00.20 testing with Full POI and roads map. Very lag and slow compared to MSM v2.30. I already reach traffic light, and the graphics is still processing and showing me moving 50-100 towards the traffic light. Did you install the additional POI in the POI folder? Or, I'm at highway and already pass an interchange, it still shows me driving towards the interchange.Will keep monitor. If yes, try again without those POI. |
