OK Thanks,
It means if I want to download MSM, I need to change from gmapsupp_v406 to something else?

Please read and understand from the link that Bro silverbeauty gave you.

In internal or SD card.. you can only have one gmapsupp.imgfile name.
if you place another img file, it will over write it old file.

Read that link again..

gmapsupp_v406 doesn't work in GPS.

Bro whitecat, do you mean that when you update map, it does not show up in unit?

Which GPS model / unit are you referring to ?

Please list down what did you do in detail so we may analyze what you did and give you our advise.

With latest MFM Mapsource mapset, you can safely ignore the step to enable that feature (include route calculation data) when transferring maps to device.

If your GPS location (current/last) is within the map's coverage, you can straightaway view map details (sometimes you need to zoom in further too ). If you'd like to verify whether the map has been installed correctly, you can check the list of installed maps in device.

Hye guys, I'm new here. I already downloaded the files given and I can use it in my Garmin 885T. The problem is when I click Where To? >> Address , my device prompt me that No Map Data Available. Can you please help me? I also got same issue when clicked Junction and Cities. In menu Extra, I got error No Matches Were Found. Other than that, this map is really great :)

Thanks in advance.
