MFM-Garmin Map (cGPSmapper) Installation Step-by-Step Guide

[silverbeauty]

I am using Nuvi 3790 SG/MY. Thank you

Like you I also have a localized 3790.

Like I said earlier, you have to tick the box to remove polygons.
Check all other boxes

And make sure you only enable one map.

Success!!
Thank you Silverbeauty for the help and patient

Glad to help.

Looks like your home is across the road from my office

hi guys, first of all, great thanks for implementing these maps for road users!

i have been using this forum mainly to learn how to properly use my newly bought garmin

have some difficulty using the uploaded map so would appreciate any help (pardon me for being a noob with jargons, its my first GPS)

following are my equipment specs

1. Garmin Nuvi 50LM (Local SG Set)
2. Loaded (MFM-Garmin-131007.exe)
3. Maps enabled (MFM-Garmin 131007, Mfm Poi 131007)
4. Default Maps NOT enabled (CN SGMY NT 2012.40 Malsing, CN SGMY NT 2013.10 Navteq)
5. Reset-ed back to Factory default before loading the new map into the garmin\map folder

Problems:

a. Referring to the screenshots of garmin on the installation guide posts, the interface is quite different, mine is still the stock(Not sure if i did load the map properly)
b. Searching for Postal Codes became very slow, i have followed the new Method on the installation post, search results does come up, but only after 1 min later. (searches based on Road names were instant though)

these are my key problems so far, appreciate if you could let me know if my device is not compatible, or did i simply load in the map of the wrong category? thanks for helping!

Map looks different vs Garmin stock is because map you downloaded is compiled using third party compiler vs Garmin compiler.


Did you get satellite lock before performing postal code search ? Should be much faster.

sorry for the late reply, i have tried waiting for satellite lock and gps mode off but postal code finding still takes very long.

i have also tried running with polygons off without resolution.

im testing it out on the latest version now

appreciate your advises!

Lets get a few basic facts first

What is map file name ?

Where did you put the map ?
In SD card /garmin ( recommended ) or in Main Memory /system ??

Did you enable only ONE map ?
Verify in Tools / Settings / myMaps

So I follow exactly what the step by step is, and I got a gmapsupp.img file. Since my Garmin's unit has 4mb space left, I put it in the sd card. And I just copy paste the file from the desktop, without creating any folder in the sd card. So did what I did is correct?

Your error was not to create a folder /garmin in your SD card and put the map file gmapsupp.img there

so is there any specific name do i have to put in the sd card in order for the Garmin to read it?

For map in /garmin folder, map file name must be gmapsupp.img
