I downloaded the Expo Guide to use with my Venus China map.
While the Venus maps worked fine in my Mal/SG 1250, the Expo Guide does not!
Please be aware that the Expo Guide only works with a true China GPS.
On mine, it claims I am in the Spanish pavilion when I am standing on the rooftop garden of the Singapore pavilion!
Be warned!
It has nothing to do with the Garmin travel guide as it only piggy back onto an existing Garmin Map of region of interest, in this case the China Map.
It is a known issue that China maps have offset "embedded" thus the discrepancy in POI accuracy.
Localized China GPS unlike globalized units have "offset" correction embedded in their firmware to compensate for this
This is only confined to Nuvis NOT handhelds.
I think newer Garmin Nuvi globalized sets have this embedded but cannot confirm but I do know Taiwan localized Nuvi sets works fine in Mainland China.
