2)I installed the MFM map,installed and copy to F:Garmin,after that i turned on the 3790V,i can see only the buildings and POI but no streets no roads,how come?I tried reinstall and tick and untick several times for those map option and map customisation option...
3)When I only select Map NT2012.10,everything fine!

Pls help me...


Run MFM installer. After it ask you if you want to create map file gmapsupp.img, and you answer yes, it will prompt you to select options. Select ALL options ( most important is select exclude polygons )

For 3790, if it still do not display roads, go to MainMenu-Tools-Settings-myMaps- and unselect Apac ADEM file

Hi Silverbeauty,i only ticked the MFM map n POI,the APAC was unchecked....pls help me,what shld i do...


What do you want help on ? Your original question was for assistance to show roads. Your picture shows roads showing now. :-?
Also suggest you move MFM map file gmapsupp.img to SD card/garmin

Hi all bro,

I just bought a new garmin nuvi 1350 and wanted to install Malaysia map. Generated the map and installed the gmapsupp.img into the SD drive.

For this model, I go to Map-> Info but nothing else except CN North America NT 2012.10 map.

Do anyone knows where to select the Msia map in this Garmin model?
I connected the garmin nuvi 1350 to PC and the file is located at F:\Garmin. Wonder what is wrong.

Please help.

Please note, if you are using the MFM-Garmin 12xxxx map (cGPSmapper), there is no Junction View with this map.

Try renaming the IMG file to another name (example, MFM.img) and put this in the sdcard\map folder. See if it can be detected now?
