Yes, you can. Better still if with names.

Thanks... I have another one... On Jalan Tanjung Kidurong, there is a river named Sungai Kidurong on the map. Actually it is Sungai Plan.

Junction View is really for those expressway exits at complex interchanges which can confuse motorists. I don't think there's much of that in central Sarawak, if at all. Anyway, if you're still interested, check out this thread:

Thanks... I dont't think there are any complex interchanges here in Bintulu. Maybe there will but in the next 30 years... Better concentrate myself on new POIs and tracks...

I have created a new track around Jade Garden neighbourhood using my E71 with Garmin Mobile XT installed. Maybe I drove a bit fast that my way points are scattered around.
Questions:
1. When I submit new track, do I submit it as it is if I have 'not so smooth' track?
2. Can I edit it using Mapsource to make it a bit tidy before I submit the track?

Attached are my two gdb's file with the scattered points is the orignal and the other one I have edited with Mapsource... (Still learning....)

Ideally we would like 1-sec track logs but GMXT alone does not have that feature. Maybe you can use Nokia Sports Tracker (read viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1230 for more info) in future.

Usually we would like to see the raw tracks but in the Jade Gdn case above, the tidying up helps. Also the fact that I can see the area as a high-res image on Google Maps helps to give me a good idea of the actual road.

Hi again,

-When I created my own custom POI icon, will it be integrated in gdb file that I will submit as updates?
-If not, how do I put a correct icon to my POI that are not included in Mapsource icon, eg; factory, small shop, longhouse, surau, etc..
-Or MFM will do the correcton on the icons?

Thanks!
