Can't open/load the map into MapSource, the file format it needs were not in MFM extracted directory.

Run mapsource and you should find MFM map there.
If not, on top of screen, left side, there should be a pull down menu which list all installed maps
Click on the down arrow
The drop down menu should expand showing all installed maps
Select Malfreemaps xxxxxx

1. i installed latest map and its working great!, but there is 1 unit (nuvi 255w) where while it navigate then reaching railway cross, the POI alert sound and seem dont stop, can say its hang somewhere but notnthe navigation. it also happens when reaching junction and when the alert sound, it may be hang.WHY?
Check the railway crossing custom POI in POI folder file. Delete it and download a fresh copy.

2. how do i save another map such as taiwan or UK, or thai in the garmin nuvi? either in the garmin or in the sd/micro sd.? and want it to be working as well. maybe for simulate driving route. or for browsing purpose using the garmin unit. i dont know how to link it to the system. thanx guys
Nuvi 255W can hold 3 maps in main memory ( gmapprom, gmapprom1 and gmapsupp ) and 1 in SD card ( gmapsupp ). It is not advisable to load maps into main memory as you risk corruption and bricking your Nuvi. Furthermore filling the main memory can cause unit to lag. Try putting in different SD card and load SD cards for browsing as mentioned

There are solutions to merge maps like using gmaptool or mapsource ( if you have the mapsource version map ) but you need to learn to use the software. Please refer to our library for references to these.

dear silverbeuty,
earlier u mention that garmin can save up to 3 map, so how do i browse the 2nd and 3rd map? for eg, gmapprom is my Mlysia map, and i rename Indonesia or UK as gmapprom1. while Thailand as gmapsupp. how do i browse these maps? is the map already linked with the garmin software? and if i landed to thai or indonesia, is my garmin can navigate?
again thanx
