If you have downloaded and installed MFM-Papago Cxxxxxx, then it's the custom map, if its MFM-Papago Sxxxxxx, then it's the standard map.

Lucky for you that you had started from "0", I started last time with a negative-something :shock: , and still learning too.

Anyway, :welcome: to the forum guys.

Hi I'm newbie here.
1st Thanks to all the sifus and contributor here.
Still have lots of things to learn...

Just want to share out that I'm using Garmin 250 and Garmin Lite (GMXT) on S60, I use the Garmin webupdater http://www8.garmin.com/products/webupdater/howtoinstall.jsp to keep my Garmin always up-to-date.

Thank you.

Hello,

1st posting here to say hi. I used to have a PDA with Qarmin Que and recently got a 1460. Read about its problems but I kinda like its 5" screen. Downloaded your latest MFM maps and it made a difference to my 1460. :prayer:
