If you are able to download the EXE, then go ahead. Otherwise download the RAR and extract the EXE out.

In the meantime, read this: MFM-Garmin Installation Step by Step Guide FYI, if you need to just install map for device, you do not need to install Mapsource, and just follow the steps until "Creating MFM-Garmin map using MFM Garmin Map Generator".

i've used 285wt, 255w and 295w. garmin 255w is the best. 285wt is integrated with bluetooth but i've not used it at all, useless function. 295w with 3mp camera, wifi and mp3 but the screen is 3.55" and no poi icon during driving mode.

Hi, bought Nuvi 1350 few months back. Register the unit with Garmin website and can download car icons and voices.
Also installed Mapsource on my PC and download latest map. Have not updated maps to my Garmin unit yet as have not bought SD card. Read that its not recommended to touch the map in internal memory as can hang.
Anyway as 1350 comes with junction view and MFM map does not support JCV, I'll be using it for routing on PC.

Now trying to relearn everything again as was not active for a long time. As for 1350, quite satisfied with it. Better than using map on phone or PDA. And much better than some other branded and non-branded GPS in terms of user interface and touch screen.
