How to install Garmin MapSource for the First Time

[ccwong]

I just copied the mfm map I believe the 10/06 map is 87.6mb directly into my "Maps" folder without using mapsource. It seems to work. When I check the map info under settings I get three 10/06 maps. No idea why, but all the maps are checked. I assume this is fine ok right?

If you are getting as attached photo, i think that should be fine.

- 1 for MFM map
- 1 for MFM custom icons
- 1 for MFM custom icons -> newer model such as 1460,1350,1250,765,etc

Yup, that is what I am getting. Using nuvi 1310.

BTW, is there any problems installing newer versions of mfm ontop of the old folder? Since mfm always makes a default folder at the same place, and I did not uninstall folders from the previous maps installations. I just copy-paste it directly. Last map was 25 april or somewhere there. LOL

Yes, you may do so.
Just makesure there is no 2 mfm-garmin maps with different filename in that particular folder of your garmin 1310, else you are in trouble...

Got that. I saved the file in the C drive first then manually copy it onto the Garmin. Delete the old one before copying.

I have a second Nuvi 1310, and I do not get the same thing.

I only get 2 Malfreemaps 100606. One more missing. Also, when I use mapsource, I cannot check the "include route calculation data". Is something wrong somewhere? I was only able to copy all using the mapsource. When I manually copied it into garmin, it did not register.

No, that's normal.

Did you mean you copied the IMG files from MFM installed folder to device? viewtopic.php?p=115060#p115060

Hi cchien_hua, can you verify that Malfreemaps is listed (and can be selected) at "View > Switch to Product"?

You can also go to "View > Show Toolbars > and enable View" to display product switch box at top left corner of Mapsource.
