After deleting the map file (gmapsupp.img) from the GPS memory, I'm able to see the latest MFM map in my GPS but at the same time the following maps are still available:
Malsingmaps Malasia/Singapore/Brunei NT 2011.30
City Navigator Singapore/Malaysia NT 2011.40

Shouldn't those maps be deleted as well ? I'm quite sure that is the only img file in the memory.

did you change the map selection in the myMap option under Settings? Make sure mfm map is selected and not the default NT 201x.xx and the citymap...
