thanks for the reply. MFM maps works now, I disabled all other maps. Just to confirm, MFM maps do not have Junction View correct?

You are correct.

MFM for Garmin no have Junction View.

MFM for Papago have Junction View.

So far, no one has as yet discounted that.

MSM does... I saw it on mine when I was there in June, just about to exit for the Braddell Flyover.

Should I get the Garmin 3790 or the Garmin 2565? I am currently using the Garmin 1350 that I got from bestbuyelec.com but my backside itchy and I feel like upgrading. I am happy with my Garmin 1350 but I want to try something different.

If you prefer cheap, cheap chilly crab... than go for the cheaper 2565 model meh... I read its packed with loads of features too running only on 2 hours maximum. :tease:
Sounds like U R at point of desperation.... drive carefully hah & cheapest location is at yr keyboard, just Google for it! You save petrol, parking and ERP too.... pretty cheap way to shop for you. :evil:

I currently use a Nuvi 3790 with the following system info:

Nuvi 3790
Software Version: 2.20
GPS Firmware: 2.50
Maps loaded:
Malsingmaps Malaysia/Singapore/Brunei NT2011.10
City Navigator Singapore/Malaysia NT 2010.13
MFM Garmin 110606

My problem is that I am unable to load any of the newer MFM maps into my Nuvi. On my SD card I have created a folder called map (under the root directory) which contains the following files:
MFM_Apr11.img
MFM_July11.img

However when I start up the Nuvi, neither map shows up in the myMaps. I have tried both the maps directly downloaded from here as well as recreating the map from the multiple images with no success.

I have tried both microSD and microSDHC cards. I can view the contents of the microSD cards from my computer (when the Nuvi is connected to the computer via USB) so I can safely assume that card can be read.

I have tried practically all the suggestions here (over the last couple of months) but nothing has helped me so far. The thing is, I can't remember how it managed to upload the MFM 110606 map but unfortunately nothing new can be seen :ko:

I would like to be able to load the latest MFM map as well as other maps that I have, specially for when I go overseas. Can anyone help please?

If I read your post correctly, you got x3 MFM maps residing in MainMemory and SD card ? If so, you need to remove two of them, leaving the latest one in SD card/map directory.

Run installer and have it generate map to reside in root directory /malfreemaps. Manually copy the gmapsupp.img into SD card/map and rename it to whatever you want. When you generate the gmapsupp, make sure that you select to "REMOVE POLYGONS", else map will not display correctly on your Nuvi.

You should be able to view the installed maps in you Nuvi via the myMaps menu.

Thanks for your suggestion. You are right, one map MFM Garmin 110606 is in MainMemory. The other two are on the SD card. Actually one of the SD maps has already been generated without polygons.

How do I remove the MFM map in MainMemory (that is painless) other than doing a reset to default (which will make me lose all my data)? Even if I delete it in the /Garmin folder (i think that's the right folder, off my memory here) it gets "re-installed" upon starting.
