When using mfm (cGPSmapper) maps, I can't find anything when I use "Where To? >> Search".

I have to go to, for e.g. IMM shopping mall, "Where To? >> Catergories >> Shopping >> Search" then key in IMM. Only then IMM related search will comes out. Whereas for the older nuvi 1350 that I tried and used before, can straightaway search for in the POIs section.

Guess that's my only complain for this. As for POI not showing up when navigating, that's no problem for me.

Other then that, It's a good set.


i'm facing this issue as well. no results from mfm (cGPSmapper) maps, when I use "Where To? >> Search"

You cannot direct search from "Where To? >> Search" (this is new unit limitations)... instead you have to go to, for e.g. IMM shopping mall, "Where To? >> Categories >> Shopping >> Search" then key in IMM. Only then IMM related search will comes out...you have to search by categories...if you want to find Petrol Pump go to "Fuel" and search there...

seems new model is going one step back towards usability towards cGPS map data.
no issues for official garmin mfm/msm though.

sucks!!

seems the older models are more of a 'GEM' :peace:
