Could all the masters here direct me to the download for a MFM for China.
I am using the Garmin Nuvi 1350, navigation for loacl anf malaysia is perfect.
Currently i had the city navigator version but it is crap. i had tried using it during my trip to Suzhou for the past 10 days, it gave all the wrong tracking, it is totally offset from the map actual route by ~ 100m. This is total crap

This zero down to the problem , the device is OK but the China map (city navigator version) is not good.

Hence i am seeking the help of all the Shi_Fu to help to prove a reliable China map for my download soon.

CN China map from Garmin is one of the best map you can obtain of Continental China in PinYin, other than those that are preloaded when you buy a China made GPS.
The reason you experience the "offset" is because of China authorities ruling that an "offset" be program into unts that are purchased "outside" China. Only Garmin units purchased in China / Taiwan contain firmware capable of cancelling this offset.
