Hi everyone,

Just got my Oregon 450, and I can't wait to load MFM to it !
I've been reading a few topics as a lurker, but today signed up to join the community 8-)
:rox:

I'm a bit lost as to how to install MFM on my Oregon with Mac OSX, using Basecamp. All the tutorials I found here are linking to Windows Mapsource or an *.exe file for MFM in a format that's compatible with Mac OSX - so we can load it to Basecamp without having to install windows on my Mac to convert the *.exe?

Hi everyone in MFM!! Got myself a nuvi 2465 two weeks ago, then came the launch of the new nuvi 2575 @ the Pc show. So because of the 5'' screen and driving recorder, sold off my 2465 and got the 2575!! :thumbsup:
I've downloaded the lastest map from mfm into Microsd but noticed that the image shown on the 2575 was abit not right after selecting the mfm map, seems like somehow not compatible. Any advise? Sorry cause i'm just a beginner stage. :)

Hi bro silverbeauty! Tks for the welcome!! Really happy to become part of the super big family! =D> As for the "not right" part, i think i know why, i tried to re-install & put the map display customization under map generator in full, then the display not that bad liao. By the way does the map comes with JCV?
