Standardization and proper labeling for highway RSA and layby.

Eg: layby serdang in NSE and R&R serdang (E9).

If you are near by that area and look for serdang rest area, if it does view map you really do not know which is one to choose for.

So proposed to add highway name to all rest area nationwide = NSE Layby serdang (N).

SUGGEST WE DO NOT USE ANY ABBREVIATION AT ALL ON MAPS OR POI'S. THIS WILL ALLOW THE TEXT TO VOICE FEATURE OF GPS TO FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY. :tq:

Yes - sometimes it does sound funny thought. For example, if you need to turn left into "Jalan Kg Jawa" the voice promt will tell you to turn left into "Jalan Kilogram Jawa" :D

Another suggestion will be, categorizing of the POIs. I found out some of the POI's category are mixed up. Eg. 7-11 department stores (Not at petrol station) are found in the subcategory of "fuel" in my Nuvi 200.
E71 with Garmin XT, Nuvi 200w, PAPAGO! R5800 makes me ROCKs

That's not an error, Garmin categorizes convenience stores such as 7-11 and 99 under a sub-category of Fuel. :-'

Other than the Garmin format, will there be any other format release, for example, Mapking, igo, etc etc etc...

If the specific compiler was needed, what is the way or the cost of the compiler and is it worth or enough to use the contribution fund to purchase the compiler? :mrgreen:
