Newbie Say hi to All bro

Postby Kenny LCW » Fri Aug 27, 2010 9:34 am

Hi All bro, how are you ? and Nice to meet you all. I bought a Cheap Used Nuvi200w from my friend for RM300, my friend told me he already install latest MFM for me. Purpose for me to buy GPS, because my foreigner wife passport has expired soon, need to renew it,but don't know where the indonesia consulate is.
Yesterday, I brought my wife to indonesia consulate to renew her passport, my friend has taught me how to use the nuvi gps, I am glad and can get the result "indonesia consulate johor Bahru", due to heavy traffic, took us about 45mins and reached destination, very difficult to get car park there, finally get the carpark. when we cross the road to indonesia consulate, reach Security house, the Uniform security told us the consulate indonesia has already moved since July 19 :frus: then, we asked for where the new consulate is, Security told us near to "Menara landmark", nearer it has a Caltex petrol station, the new indonesia consulate is behind the Caltex petrol station. then, I use my nuvi gps to search "landmark", and get the result and we get there about 10 mins, I look around both roadside, look for caltex petrol station, but cannot get, only get Shell station. Stop my car beside the road, and search for any Caltex near it, and get the result, show nearest Caltex petrol station 2.3Km "Caltex Tmn Pelangi", after we reached "Caltex Tmn Pelangi", see behind the caltex, :frus: all are terrace house, where got consulate indonesia :frus: WTF :x GPS, I asked the Caltex staff where is the new consulate indonesia, the staff only know how to shake head :evil: damn ! Then, I wait at the roadside and stopped a Taxi, asked for the Taxi driver where the consulate indonesia is, the taxi driver replied he knew, asked me get into the taxi, I replied no, I drive a car, just want to know where it is, but he decline to tell me where it is, but he said he can lead me there, just asked me to follow his taxi, but need to pay RM10. then, I paid him RM10, and follow the Taxi, finally we reach there, yes, the new indonesia consulate is behind the Caltex station, seem the petrol station has long time ago but Map don't have it :frus:
I called my friend and told him about it, he give me this website, asked me download latest weekly map, because he install the map is 16th Aug version, asked me came here download latest version. I just think, the consulate indonesia already moved 1 month ago, 16th Aug version should have it, but Not. Caltex station seem like open many year ago, should have it, but not.
Sigh !

Hello, how would we know they had been relocated if no one provides the necessary feedback? Do you think the consulate would simply inform us that they had moved to a new location? :finga:

BTW, welcome to MFM. And for the benefit of other users, why don't you report the error/omission here (the new location of the consulate and also the Caltex station): viewforum.php?f=16
:tq:
