I think that navigator is the software issue.
To delete the map, plug into PC look for " Gmapsupp file"

Why do u need to delete it?
Just replace any others gmapsupp file.

Dear Sifu's

How do I update the MFM map in Mapsource? I downloaded the latest map MFM-Garmin-100726 but how do I get it in to mapsource (or RoadTrip for Mac)?

Thanks!!

If you have Mapsource installed, just execute the (EXE) installer to install the mapset as a Mapsource product. As for RoadTrip, you need to use Map Converter to convert MFM Mapsource mapset in PC into GMAPI or TGZ, to be used in RoadTrip.

Hello,

I am a relative newbie, and would like to install the MFM map onto Garmin Oregon 450.

What options should I choose? I don't really understand the difference:
Full Customisation / Custom Polygons & POIs

Then later on:
Options:
1. Exclude Colored Polygons (Less laggy) Good for Garmin Mobile XT

5. Enable custom icon for Nuvi 765, 1460, etc (for Garmin 765 and Garmin 1xxx series)

6. Full [Full Custom (the road display a bit different) + Custom Icon & Polygon (House & Shop in color)]
7. Custom Polygon & POI only [Dispaly custom Polygon (House & Shop in color) & POI Icon (Shell station will display in Shell Logo)]

Thank you!

The difference among the 3 options can be observed already when any of the radio button is selected.

I'm using Nuvi's 765. What if I unchecked the :Enable custom icon for Nuvi 765, 1460 during creating map?What does this custom icon mean?

Custom icons are like the Shell and Petronas logo, as opposed to the standard icon which is a generic gas station logo. By enabling this option, those Nuvi models should be able to display such custom icons.
