It is time to update your Garmin GPS Map. My last update was 7 months ago,too old.

The latest MFM GPS Map (Malfreemaps lite v1.63) comes with more new features:

1. Link to Navnet map in Kalimantan
2. Coverage of Southern Thailand
3. Optional Chinese POI
4. Improved SG Postal Code & Address map with instant search result
5. New POI icons
6. New POI categories with custom icons (soon)
7. New MFM map generator with option to generate either Full or Lite version
8. Coloured topo polygons are added into Full-version map
9. New multi-language installer
10. No more error when uploading map through Mapsource

I think this lite version is more than enough for me to travel around Malaysia. But sad thing is it don’t have Mac version. Mean you have to download the EXE map file into your Windows. Extract it then transfer to Garmin GPS. Anyway it is not a big problem. (more…)

Nobody guess right on what software I used in previous post. I’m using Garmin Mobile XT ver 4.10.8 GPS navigation software. It is mobile edition of the famous Garmin GPS software.

GPS is only a global positioning device. Basically, without a navigation software you can do nothing other than geotag. Garmin is leading in GPS navigation software and devices. So I decide to use

Garmin Mobile XT GPS Navigation Requirements

Well, I do not have a luxury 3.5-inch touch screen Garmin GPS. My Nokia N82 2.8-inch without touch screen able to lead me to my destination too. What you need to use Garmin Mobile XT GPS navigation?

• A GPS enabled Mobile Phone, eg: Nokia N82
• Garmin Mobile XT data card
• Map

Garmin Mobile XT data card refer to Garmin navigation software. You can buy at Dell website for $99.99 USD. You may download free Garmin Mobile XT for symbian S60.

But without license key, you are not able to unlock and use in your own mobile phone GPS chipset. You need to get the license key and unlock to use with your own GPS chipset. Once setup finish, continue to load in the maps. (more…)
