FREQUENT QUESTIONS

1. My device lags or refresh very slowly when using MFM maps. What can I do?

Try the potential solutions below:

• Set Map detail to "Normal" or "Less often"
• Delete all custom POIs (files with .gpi extension under POI folder)
• Exclude colored polygons when you generate MFM-Garmin map
• Donate your old GPS to MFM and get yourself a new one

2. My Garmin device cannot read MFM map. What is the problem?

From MFM v1.63 onwards, MFM map will be coded in a new format. Older devices such at GPSMAP 60CS or Garmin Que will not be able to read new MFM maps. Please use MFM v1.62

3. Can I combine MFM and MSM maps?

You can. There are various ways and results from these ways. Refer to and post questions at Combine MFM & MSM

4. Why is my Garmin unable to display map for Perak, Selangor, KL, Negeri Sembilan and the east coast states?

Because you have uploaded MFM and MSM map together and there is a Map ID clash. Either remove one of the maps or make sure you edit MSM's map ID.

5. How do I create Mal/SG map for my Garmin device with MFM-Garmin-09xxxx.exe?

Method 1: Click "yes" when prompted "Do you wish to create a gmapsupp.img?" at the end of the installation process. This is the recommended way.
Method 2: Use Mapsource to upload the maps.
Refer to our installation guide for more guidance.

6. My map goes blank except for POIs then the roads appear again. What should I do?

Solution is possible if you use Method 1 (refer to Q&A 3) to create your Garmin map. Go to Tools->System->Map->Map Info and uncheck the MFM POI map and MFM Road POI map (if any).

7. Can I use this map if I have another brand of GPS or navigational device?

NO. MFM map supports only Garmin devices. If you have a Papago device, please download MFM-Papago map.

8. Can I use my own map icons and colors?

YES. Please refer to MFM map display customization guide.

9. Is updating my map weekly necessary?

NO. You can visit MFM to get the latest map as and when you like. Our weekly release is mainly for members who are involved in updating our maps. Various contributors get to see their work within a week or two. Chances of errors not detect or duplication of work is minimized.

10. Why can't MFM provide an update log for the benefit of users?

Each new release incorporates hundreds of individual updates to our maps. We don't have the resources to record and compile a detail update log. To identify the changes to your area of interest, use GPSMapedit to visually compare the gmapsupp.img files.

11. Why are convenience store listed under "Fuel"?

Categorization of POIs is controlled by Garmin. Click here for further explanation.

NEW FEATURES ON MFM-GARMIN

1. New SG Postal Code & Address Map
MFM's new SG Postal Code & Address map allows users to search for address or postal code. Currently, there are over 21,000 postal codes in our database.

Searching for postal code with house number keypad:


Searching for postal code in address field:


Searching for address:



2. Option to generate MFM-lite version
MFM-Lite has been incorporated into MFM-Garmin. You can generate the lite version using MFM's map generator at the end of the installation process. Just check the "Exclude colored polygons..." box.


3. Proper annoucement of U-turns
Garmin now recognise our maps' left-hand traffic direction. It will ask users to "Make a U-turn" instead of "Turn right then turn right". Our mappers will be updating their maps to conform to Garmin's U-turn standard. If you encounter an U-turn which is not announced properly, please feedback to us.

Because of the change in traffic system, you are advised to turn off (uncheck) U-turn avoidance for better route suggestions.
-->
At Nuvi's main menu, press Tools, Setting and then Navigation. You will see the screen on the top left. Press the Avoidance button. Ensure U-turn avoidance is unchecked.
