Well... Then the previous map was generated by using Mapsource? Interesting here... \:D/
Anyway, thanks for the info :prayer:

Just transfer MFM to GMPC from Mapsource. Needless to say, you need to have Mapsource and MFM installed first.

"No Map" (at lower right corner) means at that particular GPS location (blue car icon) there is no detailed map available. Have you already got a satellite fix within the map's coverage yet?

Then, try sending MFM map via Maspource, instead of using GMAPSUPP.IMG generated by installer. I remember reading somewhere that there are issues using ready-made GMAPSUPP.IMG.

i did download the mapsource from the garmin website, but i says "previous mapsource not found", so i was wondering which version that i should get first?

Any version would do, and there is actually a few workarounds for this issue, one of it is explained in this topic from the library: How to install Garmin Mapsource
