Bro..
We can not confirm that your garmin is destroy or not..
Best is to bring it over to any Garmin dealer.


Bro alyem,

Bro Andyfriends has not described his predicament fully. He has been posting on a few threads already.

From what I gathered from him, he encountered problems with GMXT installed on a China-made GPS after installing MFM Custom POI. He is unable to do a search and some keys on his keyboard does not appear. Since it is not a Garmin, then he cant take it to a Garmin dealer. It is not his Garmin that is "destroyed", it is his GMXT software that has encountered problems.

I have asked him to reinstall GMXT but he does not have the source files to do this.

He has both Garm GMXT and Papago installed on the China-made GPS.

I suggest, he download Papago map here and use it.

Maybe some other brothers who are familiar with WinCE GPS can help him.


But in his post he said my garmin.. :ko: :ko:
And I do read some of his post... :ko: :ko: also..

I think this Bro. Andy and his friends... :mrgreen:
Should join our next GG. or meet up with any of the fellow GPS members for Tea Tarik...

:thumbsup:

Good for you andyfriends,

Currently there's none planned for the Klang Valley this month. There's one in Ipoh this weekend (08 Nov) and another one in a fortnight's time in Melaka (21 Nov). It'll be a good experience attending these GG.

Normally you just key in the Street (and usually that would be enough). However, to narrow down the search (if there are a few hits), enter the City or/and State as well. You can just leave everything else blank.

If you have more than 1 map > ref to A

If just 1 map > Ref to B
