Is there a difference between how msm and mfm produces their map?

I think this is the cause of the mfm maps error on the 3790.

If it is too difficult to produce on our own computers, maybe mfm can create the img file for us to download. It will be easier that way..

Just my 2-cents.

If you going to use MalFreeMaps Map, please don't upgrade the software from 2.00 to 2.20 because it will cause the roads in the maps not to display correctly. And hope this may solve with coming software update. Below is the software update for Europe region.

Changes made from version 2.20 to 2.50:
Fixed an issue that could cause a hourglass to display indefinitely during an address search.
Fixed an issue that could cause a shutdown if viewing the Trip Planner page at the exact second that the trip is scheduled to begin.
Fixed a potential shutdown when viewing the Where Am I page in certain countries.
Fixed an issue that could cause the unit to get stuck in the Voice Command interface.
Fixed a potential lockup when retrieving advertisement data.
Fixed an issue that could cause a unit to remain stuck on the Loading Maps screen.
Fixed an issue with the dial tone not using the correct volume level.
Fixed an issue that could make the Touchscreen unresponsive after resuming.
Fixed an issue that caused End User License Agreements to incorrectly display in Night mode.
Fixed a potential shutdown caused by certain map geometry.
Fixed an issue that would cause a unit to shutdown when images were loaded into multiple folders.
Fixed an issue that caused the Trip Planner to show incorrect number of days for certain months.
Fixed an issue that caused maps not to display for certain countries if other maps were loaded.
Fixed display of two-line destinations in the Trip Planner.
Fixed an issue that caused Flemish not to display as an available language.
Fixed a potential issue when calculating a route with traffic.
Fixed an issue that caused custom Points of Interest alerts to only occur on one side of the road.
Fixed an issue that could cause unit not to turn ON correctly after suspending.

oh my ... fixes so many things for considering a 'high end' set ](*,)
I recalled this happen to my Oregon300 when it just launched, many and frequent firmware fixes until now it it a stable unit, 1 year later :thumbsdown:

I still find there are some problems with my Oregon 300 after the latest update. My unit will shut down if I scroll on the touchscreen for a few minutes. If I select the "Elevation Plot" screen for 15 minutes while driving, the unit will shut down by itself. I have written to Garmin and Garmin has requested for the xml file in the unit. Will see if Garmin is able to fix the problem.

so far, i havent try the latest mfm map in it, maybe problem came from august mfm map? i have no chance to try now because nuvi3790 not with me now.
if any one here have nuvi3790, please try mfm on it and let me know whats the problem.
i will get nuvi3790 stock very soon.

anyhow.... nuvi3790 is most sexiest garmin nuvi! =P~

The latest update seems to address the issue: http://malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?p=127807#p127807

Tested the new 2.2 firmware while on vacation in Sabah. While routing from KK to Sandakan, I was enjoying the 3D elevation display. Started off by displaying direction and Speed. Then after Ranau, decided to switch to display to elevation.

After switching, the system reset and continue to reset when at main menu I hit the Map Icon again :fire: :fire: :fire:

Did some failure analysis and found out it was the MSM NT map that was causing the system to reset. Ran fine with the Garmin NT map.

On diagnostic page no coding data available. Just a log to say the system experienced an abnormal shutdown.

Anybody else experience this ?

Just read a post from other forum related to this model. (which I didn't use this function)

-----------------------------------
UPDATE - It appears that we finally have a commitment from Garmin to support manually created routes on the 37xx models. This appears in their FAQ now:

At this time the nuvi 3700 series does not have the ability to manually receive created routes from MapSource or any third party applications.

Garmin intends to add this functionality into the nuvi 3700 series via a software update sometime in the future. Current plans call for the update to be released in the first quarter of 2011.
