FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Can I use this map if I have another brand of GPS or navigational device?
No. MFM custom POI current is for Garmin devices that supports this function only.

Will MFM-CPOI delete my other custom POIs?
No. MFM-CPOI merely copies of update the custom POI (gpi) files. Deletion needs to be done manually.
Does MFM-CPOI slows down my phone or Garmin device?
Yes. Loading MFM-CPOI onto older phones and Garmin devices may cause significant screen refresh lags.
Can I use MFM-CPOI with Garmin NT map or MSM map?
Yes. However, the alert points may not be as accurate.
How do I remove some or all the custom POI files?
Connect you Garmin device to your PC. Go to the Garmin\POI folder. You can remove some or all .GPI files. If you are using a PDA or Symbian phone, use the file explorer and delete the GPI files from the Garmin\POI folder.

LIMITATION

Garmin Que does not support custom POIs
Mobile XT cannot speak warning alerts. It can only sound warning tones


West Malaysia Topographic Garmin GPS Map

HOW TO USE
Download MFM-SRTM.exe and install the map files into the folder where you have installed your MFM routable mapset. Our default folder is C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps. At the end of the installation, use the MFMTopo program to add the topo maps into your gmapsupp.img

COMBINING WITH MFM ROAD MAP
MFM-SRTM Map is designed to complement MFM's routable road maps. To view topo contours together with MFM main maps, install MFM v1.51 or later first. When you install MFM-SRTM, select "Add-on to MFM main mapset" as installation type.

Users of Mapsouce 6.15.x or later will find erratic road display on areas where contour polygons overlap roads. Therefore combining MFM-SRTM with the maim MFM mapset is not recommended if you are using Mapsouce 6.15.x or later.

DATA SOURCE
SRTM 90m digital elevation data version 4 from CGIAR-CSI. The original SRTM data released by USGS had been improved tremendously using new interpolation algorithms and better auxiliaty DEMs. The result is the elimination of most data voids or holes.

CONTOUR INTERVAL
MFM's SRTM topo map comprises contours with 10m intervals. Intermediate contours are spaced at 100m and major contours at 500m. This may not conform to the guideline of intermediate contours being 5x and major contours 10x of regular intervals but I find this configuration best both in terms of display and map file size.

Also, contour lines start only after 100m. This removes contour lines from urban areas and saves a lot of map space. The topo map is a handy 25MB in size.

OPTION TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN TOPO MAP
If you prefer your own topo map, you can compile your own using the Map ID of 60005010 or 60005020. Overwrite the original maps.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Can I use this map if I have another brand of GPS or navigational device?
No. MFM map current supports only Garmin devices.

Can I combine MFM-SRTM with MFM road map?
Of course!
Can I combine MFM-SRTM with maps from Malsingmaps?
You cannot view the topo lines and MSM maps together in Mapsource. MFM-SRTM can be made to work with MSM maps with some tweaking.
Why does the contour polygons cover some roads in Mapsource?
Mapsource is not designed to handle multiple layers of maps. It gets confused when maps overlap. Please follow these steps

Will contour polygons cover roads on my GPS device?
No. Contour polygons will be in the background.

HOW TO USE
Download MFM-SRTM-EMv100.exe and install the map files into the folder where you have installed your MFM routable mapset. Our default folder is C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps. At the end of the installation, use the MFMTopo program to add the topo maps into your gmapsupp.img

Also, contour lines start only after 100m. This removes contour lines from urban areas and saves a lot of map space. Even without contour lines below 100m, the topo map is still 78MB in size.

OPTION TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR OWN TOPO MAP
If you prefer your own topo map, you can compile your own using the Map ID of 60005110 or 60005120 or 60005130. Overwrite the original maps.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

No. MFM map current supports only Garmin devices.

Can I combine MFM-SRTM-EM with MFM road map?
You can combine them into a gmapsupp.img over 100MB is size but it is recommended that you use a different Garmin map file name for MFM-SRTM-EM
Can I combine MFM-SRTM-EM with maps from Malsingmaps?
You cannot view the topo lines and MSM maps together in Mapsource. MFM-SRTM-EM can be uploaded together MSM maps using Mapsource.
