I am new to GPS. Got a Holux 6210+ 2 months back from EastGear and just found this site.

On the download section for Papago I don't see any map for 6210. :-k which map can I use for Holux 6210 ?
I might be terribly wrong, but I should think that it is the MFM-Papago Custom 091118 (for Eastgear & M3GPS X3/X5) map installer. The other one is MFM-Papago Standard 091118 (for Navitech X2 & HTC X3), and that's the 'standard' version. Make a back-up first...

Just purchased a Omnia 2 and have Garmin XT installed. Just like to know if we can have multiple maps like Sarawak, Malaysia and Singapore in the storage card?
The current mfm map includes Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and parts of (southern) Thailand. Therefore, you just need this one mfm map on your storage card.

Hi sifu & all,

I'm a newbie and want to thank all the sifus for the great job done at this forum. I find the info very useful especially for someone who doesnt know anything about GPS and its workings. Recently bought a Garmin 255w. I hope I too can contribute in future. Once again, Great job guys!!!! Thank you.
