Hi ppl,
I want to be able to search for MFM POIs on my PC. I do not own a garmin device. Is there a free and legal way for me to access the POI data in MFM? I just want to link the POI with a GPS coordinate. Or is there a decompiled version I can tinker around with?
I've been searching around this forum but I didn't get very far. Help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

Garmin Mapsource program fits the bill for what you need. Our library contains info on how to do it. Link: viewtopic.php?p=1977#p1977

Hi Silverbeauty!
Thanks for the reply. I've done some reading and the polish format (*.mp) is probably good for me. Can MapSource convert into this file format for me? I hear GPSMapEdit can convert *.img files into *.mp, but if i understand it correctly only the pro version exports.
Better yet, is there a way I can get hold of a map in the *.mp format directly?
Thank you so much. =)

Emmm..
You are into POIs data not the map source.

Does the POI data include road information?
