Wanna ask u guys something. I'm using MFM MY maps. I'll be travelling to another country later (let's say AB), and I want to use GPS there. Would this work:
1) put AB's map as another name in Garmin folder, eg. GMAPSUPP_ab.IMG
2) fly to AB
3) rename GMAPSUPP.IMG (MY map) to GMAPSUPP_my.IMG
4) rename GMAPSUPP_ab.IMG to GMAPSUPP.IMG
Also, how do I verify that the AB map is working properly before going there? If I replace MY map with AB map here, would the map show in Garmin? I tried "browse map" but it's blank.
Thanks.
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.

Have you guys install both MSM & MFM in GMobile XT?
I found something weird that both maps will cause conflict. My experience is I go to mapsets to disable MSM (untick the box), this will cause MFM to lose some roads, and fail to calculate my destination. Strangely, if I go E:\Garmin to rename MSM, then MFM will function very well.
Initially I thought that both maps can complement each other i.e when MSM lacks some roads, then MFM will show up but I was wrong.
Loves MFM custom POI on the map but the refresh rate is slower. But i heard MSM is more detail in Klang Valley. Which one to choose?
Is there any easier way to have both map without having to manually rename the map?
just stick to MFM (for klang valley) and contribute any missing POI back to MFM forum.
if u want a good map, besides using, u must contribute back also.
