I am trying to reduce the map size by extracting only the singapore & Malaysia map from the weekly Malaysia-singapore GPS map file using mapsource.
I managed to find & send the POI & polygon data (by clicking the map) to a SD cards.
However, after copy the new gmapsupp map file to my mobile phone, i am unable to use the ADDRESSES function to search by postal code
(It said detailed maps are required for this feature).
Add on: Just try using it in the car.. can't even find the starting point..Seems like i got the whole thing wrong.
What have i missed out?
Please advice.
Thanks.
Previously, using the easy way of just generating the map by the exe file...no problem face in using the ADDRESSES function.

Alternatively suggest you read the Mapsource tutorial from this link : http://www.bestbikingroads.com/useful_d ... orial1.pdf
On how to extract maps, read page 18 of how to use the Map Tool of Mapsource.

Seems to be working fine ..tested with the route from home to office.
Some more questions..
As i am using mobile XT version, i usually tick "Exclude colour polygons" when using the map generator,
So do i need to remove the polygons map file when re-creating the map??
I am trying to mean that by :
remove polygons map file in mapsource = exclude colour polgons in map generator ???
Any kind soul can give some advice.
Thanks.
