Eroda is a China brand GPS. You will have to let us know what Navigational software is installed in the GPS. Our site provides maps for several platforms, namely Garmin, Papagp, iGo, Galactio and Mio Polnav only

Mapsource is a dedicated PC based software for the use on Garmin Map platform.

Already answered in your other post : Usually installing navigation softwares in these WinCE devices involves the use of illegally obtained copyrighted software. And such discussion is not allowed here

Hi,

Need help. I'm uncertain if i have missed a step or done something incorrectly but i have follow all the instructions and successfully installed Mapsource 6.16.3 and installed the MFM-Garmin-120521 with the full customisation option and the custom polygons & POIs. But each time when i open Mapsource the no information or map appears. Greatly appreciated if a solution can be provided. Thx

After running Mapsource, did you select a map ?
