Want to say hi to all..this is my 1st post!
from usj...here & newbie in this MFM community..
heard of MFM before and this is first time visiting the forum and just registered tonite.
and directly downloded MFM lite 1.73 for my new Nuvi255W..just to test & play around with MFM!

What I can say is WOOOOW! very surprise because all the while using preloaded MSM NT 2009.30 map preloaded with my 255W that got so many error! and not really have major update since i play play with my PDA GPS 1 year ago...even i did some error reporting 1 year ago!

Really surprise about POIs in MFM because I did save my POI and about to contribute to MSM just to update, but i found out that most POIs that i saved are already in MFM :thumbsup: However..I'll try my best to play2 with MFM map first and contribute whatever POIs that arent there yet..

I want to say WOW again due to very clean and nice map..very nice customized icons!
In just 1 minute play play with MFM map...my conclusion is MFM is the best!
Hope Junction View & Lane Assist will be in MFM later..is that possible?
aaaaarrrghh..nevermind, I can live without those JV and Lane Assist since MFM is the most updated and less error!

hi karkeys!

Welcome to mfm!
Why don't you replace your v1.73Lite with our latest map. The map you installed in your 255W was the August09 release. You can download it here. It comes with an installer... and it couldn't be any easier.

Cheers. :welcome:

Greetings to all Malfree members,
Just joined this forum not long ago and getting started on this 'hobby' :lol:
I reside in PG and work in one of the MNC here.
How I got into this hobby? Well, I just bought a in-dash navigation unit for my car and it comes with GMXT.

Anyway, glad to join this forum and get to know everyone here.
Cheers.
