Hi MFM friends! \:D/

I am new to MFM. Just bought a Nuvi 1350. I am more than willing to contribute to this forum especially at the POI section.

But before that, just a question. I am using Windows 7 64-bit right now. What MapSource should i download? I tried downloading the latest one, MapSource software version 6.16.1 (57.68 MB) but my error message when I press "next" at the [WELCOME TO THE MAPSOURCE Web Update] page was "Previous MapSource not found! Setup will terminate"

What should I do?

Thank you for your time guys.

You need to follow the tip mentioned here (REG file method): How to install Garmin Mapsource

Alternatively, extract Mapsource EXE installer (using WinRAR or similar utility), and install using MSMAIN.MSI.

OK, in simple term maybe - i can explain like this:
Download this follow link file, then execute it to add your Registry:
http://www.malfreemaps.com/download/mapsource.reg

or other way:
actually the file "setup.exe" of mapsource contain "msmain.msi" file inside.
then you can using winrar to right click mouse to extract setup.exe and running the msmain.msi

just do it tricks..!
