Re: Why after combined MFM and MSM my GPS location out

The 93MB size of GMAPSUPP.IMG is most probably the result of combining both MFM and MSM, not MFM and topo, since TS is having problems when installing both MSM and MFM in device (and there is no recognized IMG file Nuvi other than MSM NT which is named GMAPPROM1.IMG).

Re: Combined MFM and MSM Q&A
So far my MFM's map is working fine. But after I cut the MFM's img file out and load the MSM file in my GPS, I can't see the map. Even I go in to Tools->Settings->map->map info and want to check/ tick the Malsingmaps MY/SG/BR NT 2009.5 file also cannot.
Anyone that can help me on this??
My Nuvi 205W now is running on SgMy Software Ver.2.60

...
After you have installed MSM NT map, is it listed at Map Info? When turning on Nuvi, do you get msg "Can't unlock map"? BTW, it's more appropriate to post this question over at MSM.

Re: Combined MFM and MSM Q&A
Yes, it is listed at map info but I can't tick/check it.
There is no error message like what you have mention. I think the "can't unlock map" is due to didn't request the unlock code and chnage it at gmapprom1.unl, right??
