Hi all, I just bought a nuvi 50LM that comes with Garmin NT map & below is my questions.
1) Can I use Garmin (cGPSmapper) map?
2) Can I use Free Malaysia/Singapore Garmin Custom POI: MFM-CPOI 20121129?
3) When I install Free Malaysia/Singapore Garmin Custom POI: MFM-CPOI 20121129 onto nuvi 50LM & I hardly can see POI appear on the map, any reason?
When I install onto my nuvi 750, I can see full of POI icons appear on the map example HDB, petrol kiosk, ATM, shopping center, hospital etc which is very useful when travelling on the road.
Please help on advice is it due to hardware issue? If yes, which model can do the same thing like nuvi 750? I change to another set by this weekend.
For those who has experience regarding this issue pls advice me.
Thank you,
best regards.

Nothing to do with CPOI; all 50LM's, like other new generation Nuvi's, do not show POI during navigation, except when zoomed in to 80m or under. Garmin sees it as a safety feature, so you don't get distracted admiring all the POI icons while driving.
Don't like it? Complain to Garmin Asia:

Maybe Garmin will do something if enough people make noise.
