Are you have problem with lagging, you have a choice for not having the polygon in the map by unclick it when downloading.

Yesterday I never used to map, I discovered a problem with polygon, so
I do not understand when you have such a good mfm out such a big problem, why no one noticed and the solution I often appreciate your contribution to the mfm,
There are always a problem here and there. The mappers are trying very hard to solve the problem, but we need your feedback with more details.

can I Garmin GPS into the mfm papago it? Is not mfmGarmin have very few people use? Can you tell me the situation? ? Thank you!
No, Garmin device can not use Papago Map. Garmin is Garmin, Papago is Papago. There two different software.

Hi, I already completed the following steps but theres still no colour in Singapore and Malaysia. :ko: And after the re-installation, the files (gmapsupp.img) became (gmapsupp). So should i add the "img" whenever i download a map? And is it necessary to put the "img" when the file is created?

You don't have to add img to the file.

When Generate gmapsupp.img have you tick the 1st line "Exclude colored Polygons (less laggy)"= "不加入POLYGONS"
If you tick mean you don't want Colored Polygon (House & Shop).

Yes, that should be fine. What are other maps listed at Nuvi's Map Info? And what are the IMG files available at \Garmin folder at both internal and data card memory (if any)? And what are the file sizes of the IMG files? And please reply ALL my questions.

which area didn't have shop & house, not all places are drawed with polygon.
May you take a screen shot ?
to Enable screen shot in :-
P/S : I don't have Nuvi 765 so, I show you Nuvi 1360 and Nuvi 255w, guess Nuvi 765 is same.
Nuvi 1360 and Nuvi 255W
Tools > Settings > Display > Screen Shot > "Enabled" or Disabled"

Once You enabled, there will a camera icon display on right hand side top coner. Then go back to map and take a snap shot which are area don't display or whole Johor Map Tile not polygon display.
