8 years later - here we are - agreement signed and sealed with Garmin. The day has come and it is a most humbling experience indeed.

Does it mean that the old data (which was the initial data when MFM was formed) has been reverse engineered? If yes, then it's a different case altogether.
Bro Tokong's case might be just an isolated case of his noble intention to contribute to both communities, although his method might be wrong.
But if it's a case of reverse engineering, then it's indeed a serious issue. I hope the issues can be settled amicably between both parties. Especially since Garmin has been involved in this case.

No need to lar Bro, I am sure now you won't even want to look at your outdated Sept 08 map right?
