Right on Bro dvpro. I'll "re-tile" again to get the required 20 maps. Thank you once again for your kind assistance. :D

I am now trying to update MFM101011 to my garmin 765. May i ask what's the difference between EXE and RAR? I saw this when i was at the download page and i don't understand what it means.

If you have no issues downloading the EXE file, choose EXE. Otherwise, download the RAR file and then extract the EXE. For the installation you will need only the EXE file.

Extract the RAR file using a dearchiver tool like this free 7-Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/ Then you would get the EXE file.

I have some problems here. After I installed the map files in my computer, they did not ask me whether I wish to create a Garmin map for my Garmin device. Instead, there was a trojan detected. Can someone help me with it please?

What antivirus that you use?
Yes, in some antivirus application it said that files created by MFM contains trojan.
Before run MFM setup file, if Bitdefender, just simply include c:\garmin\ in exclusions list.
I believe in other antivirus also can do the same thing.

Maps should be stored in MainMenu /Map or SD Card /Map directory.

If in SD card, check your SD card for error and also insert it properly. Make sure img file is not corrupted.
