My ASEAN Free GPS Map Project

Hi

Firstly, thank you MFM for the site, forum and great maps! This is my first post here.

I recently received a Nuvi 1370T as timely gift from a friend in the US.. (My trusty old Nuvi 360 had got corrupted and the local distributor had tosend it back to Taiwan for repairs). Loaded MFM maps onto microSD for the new GPS and it seems to work fine . Had already used on a trip to travel from Sing up the coast to Trengganu and crossing over via backroads and finally onto the new expressway to KL and back to Sing. Encountered no problems or conflicts with the MFM map.The Nuvi 1370 was definitely heaps faster than my old Nuvi360.

However there was one issue I encountered with the MFM maps on the Nuvi1370T. The roads(other than expressways and the road that you are supposed to be routed on) are not drawn. Or is it because my new Nuvi draw the roads by default same color as the background? The roads are however labelled. (see attached example). I tried the MSM map to compare and did not have this issue. Any advice or input appreciated. I would prefer to use MFM maps.

Thanks!

Maybe this issue is peculiar only to Nuvi1xxx series, but anyway maybe you should try different Map Display Customizations when generating GMAPSUPP.IMG.



And if that still fails, try sending maps from Mapsource, a guide can be followed here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=791

And do inform us of any feedback, there're not many users of this model around, and your feedback may improve usage of MFM map in these devices.

Update the Firmware of your unit will solve your problem

Bro, please share your solution with us. It will be helpful for the next guy who encounter the same problem

Hi all,

Just go to http://www.garmin.com.tw/products/Nuvi1 ... nload.html to update the firmware to latest version which is 2.30 and it shall solve the problem

Guys, i just bought the Garmin 1370T from Taiwan. It comes with taiwan map. However, to upload & use the Msia & Spore map on the device requires additional setting, compared to the Garmin 205/255w.

I have just successfully completed the map uploading. So the following is to share with you the additional setting & process flow:

Here they are:
1. Download the latest 2.30 version software (10.9mb) into your computer by clicking on the following link:
"nuvi 1370T(TWN)2.30版軟體更新下載"
http://download.garmin.com/tw/download/ ... T_v230.exe

2. Download the lastest Msia & Spore GPS map (46.7mb) from one of the following sites (as at to-date):
"MFM-Garmin-090921"
http://www.malfreemaps.net/MFM-Garmin-090921.exe
http://mlkstd.mmu.edu.my/~v1112220/inde ... 090921.exe

3. Connect your Garmin device with your computer. In your Garmin device, create a new folder named "Map",
(this folder should be at the root directory along other folders like G:\Garmin, G:\GPX, G:\Help... G:\Map)

4. Install the "nuvi1370T_v230", follow the instruction. After the software installation completed, unplug & restart your Garmin device.
(after restart, u should see the new software version in your Garmin device system)

5. Then, connect your Garmin device back with your computer.
Install the "MFM-Garmin-090921" into your computer, & generate the "gmapsupp.img" onto your computer.
Then, follow the program instruction to install the "gmapsupp.img" into your Garmin device.
(Pls install the "gmapsupp.img" into the "Map" folder of your Garmin device)

6. After the installation completed, unplug the Garmin Device, and u are free to use it liao.

Hopefully this will help u guys who have bought the 1370T.

Thanx Yo.
