For any release with known fault, it should be better to put a remark below the download links.
So as users can decide whether to download and wont ask similar questions, Also a lot of newcomers might not read every thread .

One update each week is really too good to ask for. For majority of users, probably once every 2 to 3 months would be more than sufficient. I was wondering if you would like to flag the last known stable version (meaning no major bugs) on your download page. Casual or first time visitors should always download this version first. For example, I guess this should be 091221 for the time being. Else you might get someone visiting this site, downloading for example 091228, and getting lost after crossing the causeway! And he has no other working version.

Anyway, all thanks to you and all the other hardworking guys who make this possible. Keep it up!


Thats y i guess dis forum r for. For us to feedback if any error occurs. :mrgreen:

It is better for the download page to contain the last known stable version. This should be the version for those needing a map for that all important overnight trip from Singapore to KL, or first time using MFM map. Otherwise, the user may get the wrong impression of MFM maps if something goes wrong.

All other latter versions are 'beta" until confirmed "stable".

Since the 091228 version has some bugs, it is advisable that you use the more stable 091221 version. A one-week older version isn't going to make any significant difference during navigation.
