1st of all I would like to congratz all the sifu here for their hard work. =D>
This is by far the most organized forum I have come across and the least complicated. \:D/

I have been experimenting with lots of gps softwares with my ex-HTC Touch, which unfortunately I have bricked it and beyond repair. :frus:

Now that I have finally got my hand on a proper GPS device and I'm starting to fall in love with it, until to the point that my wife is complaining me being married to the GPS. :tease:

I have downloaded the latest map for Papago X3 and it works like a charm. No headache at all, just download, install, rename folder, copy and paste. :peace:

Once I have learn more on how to create tracklog and POI, I will definitely contribute. :thumbsup:
:rox:
:good:

Hi Watchman,

Welcome. Enjoy your Oregon 300. It is quite a nice GPS. Need to buy some spare Eneloop to ensure you have power all the time. Hope you can help contribute tracks to MFM.

Hi Dubai86, GPS Bay 3303 runs on Mapking navigation software, and unfortunately MFM has no maps for Mapking proprietary format. Also from what I understand even MSM Mapking maps available at MSM is not compatible with GPS Bay PNDs, the only ones useable in this device are those released by GPS Bay itself (available at their site).
I take everything in moderation, including moderation.
