for zidane010h,

1 - should I delete some files in my device ? because I see two (Mfm Poi 100412) in my map info .- No need
2 - is it possible 2 maps works at the same time ? mine (Mfm poi 100412 and Malsingmaps Malaysia/singapore/Brunei NT 2011.30 ) checked - No, just checked one map at one time
3 - can I install papago map on nuvi 255w ? I googled didn't get much - No, Papago only for Papago / Way Way or Holux brand[/quote]

2 - is it possible 2 maps works at the same time ? mine (Mfm poi 100412 and Malsingmaps Malaysia/singapore/Brunei NT 2011.30 ) checked

Better no. I prefer mfm. but msm maps got junction view.
U will like mfm maps if u update to the lastest maps.

U also can install Garmin City Navigator Sg/My NT 2011.20 at your device. See method about.

3 - can I install papago map on nuvi 255w ? I googled didn't get much

Answer is no. Papago maps & mfm garmin maps is same. Only the software & routing is different only.
If u like papago buy another 1 papago gps device.

Hi everyone.

I bought nuvi 255W about 2 years ago before it introduce junction view to this product.
Is it possible to upgrade the software in this device to support junction view?

hi,
recently my gps device keep recalculating the route.
after i key in the postal code, it will search and after some distance, it will keep recalculating over and over again.
is there any major problem? i have just updated the map and was working well for a day or 2 then the problem arise.
and i read about junction view on this device. i dun think mine got this function? btw mine is gotten from USA 1 year back.
Please advice.
thanks and appreciated greatly.

Either the map you are using is corrupted or it is an error to be reported.

Delete current map and reload.

If error persist, report location with co-ordinates for us to test

USA device do not support JCV. Also MFM do not have JCV as our compilor does not support feature

internal memory running very low.
left with <5mb space.
i have moved other map data such as MSM to memory card and MFM in main memory, but at times add new CPOIs need to remove and then add new version, i can't overwrite automatically
how can i make room for more space?

Delete the following

a. Unused voice files in /garmin/voice
b. Unused vehicle files in /garmin/vehicles
c. Old POIs in /garmin/POI
d. All Help files in /garmin/help
e. Delete ALL map files and use them only in SD card ( put them in different SD cards )

** NOTE **
BACKUP before doing the above ... and BACKUP the BACKUP !!!

Help files ... these are used when you attempt to access the menu at MainMenu-Tools-Help

For older Nuvis you are stuck with the absolute directories that Nuvi will access for maps ie.. Main Menu/garmin or SD card/garmin

You can create separate directories in SD card to store different map files but Nuvi will only read maps in /garmin directory thus you need a PC/Lappy to transfer the map file ... better off to use separate SD card ...
