The name malfreemaps was thought out by me in a hurry. My first choice was myfreemaps but it was unavailable. At that point of time, only bro Sunnie had agreed to move out of MSM with me.
Now that MSM SG members have joined us and are contributing their own community maps, I feel malfreemaps inadequate. Perhaps we should look for a new name which represent us better.
Bro steven86 has proposed moving away for regional reference, such as gpsmappers.net. I have also read proposals for sgfreemaps or aseanfreemaps.
Please have your say here.

I am for AseanFreeMaps or AFM as I can see more and more people will be contributing to it eventually once word spreads. As is there are quite a few members who drive/ride within the Asean Region.

Instead of going over othet people area, why don't we have some kind collaboration with them. We now have free indonesia, Phliphine etc map. Let them concentrate on that and we just submit our track to them. Perhap a link to their website.
Just concentrate in area that we know best, so for me the name should just refer to Malaysia & Singapore (perhap Brunei).

Elsewhere, I have mentioned the .ORG and .NET domains for myfreemaps are still available.

myfreemaps.org (even if subsequently the .COM one becomes available).

Bro sabre23t, IMHO, myfreemaps.xxx is not suitable cos when ppl doing search by typing in ''myfreemaps'' in the search engine, the web site of myfreemaps.com will appear. Our will be relegated.
