Start off by reading the manual and then play with the functions. Pose your questions if you get stuck on some functions.

MSM > Malsing maps
MFM > Malfree maps

thats means your GPS loaded with MSM map.

Yes, it related with MFM and that was history..
MSM and MFM are husband and wife living under the roof. But since they divorced, in 2008. MFM moved out from that house and rented a small house in 14 Sept 2008. Now their children are staying in between their mother and father house.

MSM became the Father now..
and
MFM became the Mother.. so Loving.. and Caring

:finga: :peace:
