Re: The official newbie's "Hello" topic
hi hidern, welcome to mfm,
You can check whether you have any map installed in Mapsource by clicking the top-left corner where a pullodown menu for maps are located. If you have installed your mfm correctly, then 'Malfreemaps 101108' should be listed. If no maps are found in the list, then you have not installed your mfm map correctly.
If the mfm map is there, you can use the 'Waypoint Tool' (the green flag with a pole), click anywhere on the blank map and type in this coordinates (N3 08 59.9 E101 42 39.4) in 'Position:'. Then click 'Show on Map'. It should display the 'Kuala Lumpur' POI at the centre of your screen.
Hope this helps.

This setting that able map from mapsource come out (maybe useful for others)
