Dear all experienced MapSource users,

Can you please teach me how to view one-way streets in MapSource? I'm using ver 6.15.6 and all the roads look the same (lines only). But when I try the routing, it knows which road is a one-way street, thus routing is correct. But visually I would like to see where are the one-way streets and their directions.

Thank you very much!

How to unlock malfreemaps?

Postby gnihc11 » Tue Nov 23, 2010 1:29 pm

After downloading and extracting mapsource, I downloaded the latest MFM 101122 for mal/sg. Followed the instructions and created a .img but when I opened mapsource, all I have is an empty map? How to have the maps shown on mapsource, do I need a unlock code or something?

Help. I'm a NuB here. First time using MapSource (installed today) . I was unable to follow one of the instructions mentioned in this thread. I understand that I am supposed to check the box that says "Include route calculation data (recommended if your GPS supports auto-routing".

In my Mapsource interface, this whole thing is uncolored / watermarked / shaded area which i cannot check / tick / click.

But My device could still calculate routes ( i tried simulation and it worked fine so far)

So did i do something wrong? Whats the differences?
