Antyong,
My first post in MFM btw why your banner states Mysgfreemaps instead of Malfreemaps? Doman name taken? :)

As for road names, I would prefer the old format Masjid, J / Haji Taib, Lrg / Gurney, Psn bcos it's easier to read rather than reading the known Jln or Lrg or Psn. I mean it's just too long for me or rather useless since I would normally search keyword like Masjid, Haji Taib or Gurney. And also when searching for cities it will follow order which is different from address search. Anyone agree? :)

I think we should close this thread as "Jalan" already being implemented in our latest maps. :peace: :rox:
