Works now, can use MFM ...all roads show .... yeeha.. :thumbsup: \:D/

I think no need to re-flash firmware. Bro Redstorm tested last night with good result too. :mrgreen:


Yeah, I didn't re-flash the firmware and successfully installed the map without the polygons. All roads could now be seen. :thumbsup: :mrgreen:

Custom POI installation choice is yours.

MFM for Garmin does not support JCV / LA

All POI show wh only with Garmin NT and/or MSM NT selected

With MFM selected, custom POI do not show in navigation / routing mode :cry:

Where did you put the MFM map file ?

Obviously you did not put it in right directory as it did not show up in Map Info as posted by you

It should reside in MainMemory /map or SD card/map

I create a new folder and rename it as "Map" in main memory. the i put "gmapsupp.img" in that folder... Indonesia map can detect but not mfm map.

Should work. I suspect file is corrupted. Re-download MFM executable and retry.

For traceability I suggest you to rename the file to whatever name you want to label it besides gmapsupp.img. ie.. maybe follow the downloaded file name so you know which version resides in your unit

I would also suggest you put this file into SD card /map for any new untested map. Corruption of data could lead to a "brick" Nuvi in serious cases whereas for SD card just remove it.
