@ dvPRO

If u're using the Dakota; see if you can confirm the usage of 2 maps (Malfree & malsing) will pop-up duplicate results for the same POI. I think i'm still getting duplicates; but they've listed as a bug fix liao...

[dvpro]

I had experienced that issue right from the start until latest v3.30, no improvement as yet.

If u're using the Dakota; see if you can confirm the usage of 2 maps (Malfree & malsing) will pop-up duplicate results for the same POI.

Not only that, city search would bring up only MFM data, regardless whether which map is active.
