Garmin Nuvi 1450 / 1460

[mechanic_guna]

I own a China type Win Ce " 4 programs in 1" and a Nuvi 1460.
The MFM custom POIs ( traffic lights, schools, petrol stations etc ) are displayed on the Win CE GPS but not on the nuvi1460 although both are configured to dsiplay maximum poi.
The Nuvi1460 is upgraded to ver 3.10firmware and both updated weekly.
Any suggestions ?

Your China GPS with "4 programs in 1" is most like to run Garmin mobile XT. To verify this go to tools ->settings ->about. Here you will find the version number
. In garmin mobile Xt software you can see all the crowded POI's. Sometimes the map is full of POI's.

On the Nuvi 1460, you cannot see any POI unless it is in the 50m zoom range. This is the way it is designed by Garmin. It helps to remove the clutter on the display. You cannot do anything about this.

Thanks, cos the POIs on the WinCE GPS more informative...eg: when looking for a POI in a new place, we need all info on screen. Unfortunately its an old system and lags. Which standalone Garmin GPS would you recommend as an upgrade to the 1460 ?

For those who have installed Malfreemaps 2012.30 from Garmin website and yet, there's no junction view, the below guide might helps.

1) Go to http://www.garmin.com.sg/mapupdate/, scroll down to bottom and look for your Nuvi model in Malfreemaps file.

2) Run the installer until you get to the 'Garmin Map Installer' dialog. Don't close the window and go to C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0\MapData and copy the SgMyMFM.JCV out to your desktop or directly to your Garmin/.System/JCV directory.

3) You can backup and delete all existing file in the JCV folder and replaced with the SgMyMFM.JCV that you just copied out.

3) You can now close the installer, safely remove your garmin and you're done.

4) Enjoy!


Not sure if the guide above helps, but I been having problem that the SgMyMFM.JCV file not installing to my garmin. After much google and fiddling around, I have finally sort it out. Hope it helps!

You may be running low on internal memory. Do housekeeping and delete all the datalog file or do a factory reset. Please backup all maps first before attempting to do factory reset

Hi Everyone,
I just found out that the favorite in my Navi 1460 is full. They are all the favorite in Malaysia. I am leaving for Korea soon and need to erase all this favorite and backup. So I could program new favorite for Korea. Could someone please tell me how can I do that?
Another issue is that whenever I turn-on my Garmin, it will say the map is very old. All this while I have only save new maps to the Sd card under folder Garmin and Map. I did read the first article from Alyem, is that what I should do? Shall I use this new map, “ Free Malaysia & Singapore GPS Map: MFM-Garmin 150831” and change from "gmapsupp.img" to "gmapprom.img" and save it to the .System folder? Would it affect my other maps on Korea?
I think I had found 4 maps of Korea, how could I save them all to my Sd card and able to use them all at the same time?
Any Expert, please tell me how?
Thanks very much!
