We need Junction View Photo contribution for Major Expressway and Highway exit. U also can contribute other Jucntion u think needs JCV.

Download latest JCV location at post 2

A simple guidelines:

1. Take the photo in a clear sky morning, better to be Saturday or Sunday where there is less traffic.

2. It is better to have a photographer and a driver in your car. Don't risk your life.

3. Set your camera setting to highest mega pixels photo.(better use 10megapixel and above camera)

4. Set your camera setting to Infinity/Landscape/Sport mode.

5. Drive on the lane next to the exit lane when approaching Junction.

6. Take one photo showing clearly the major Signboard.

7. Take another photo nearer to the junction.

8. The picture u takes should be not too dark or too many car inside the picture.

9. Save the junction location with your gps unit/data logger. You might need to use mapsource to adjust your waypoint a bit to the exact junction location.

10. 1 junction view save in 1 folder include the coordinates.gdb. Example can see the link below

11. If u have 5 junction view u just save in 5 folder, then put the 5 jcv folder in 1 folder & zip it. Upload it to http://www.mediafire.com

12. Then pm me the download link. Thank!

Hi guys,

May I ask how I am able to upload the junction view (downloaded from Post 2) to my Garmin GPS?

At the moment, MFM maps doesn't have junction view right?

Until our map compiler supports the feature, no-go for JCV on Garmin devices for now.... :cry:

You're misunderstand Bro, This Garmin 2565LM has JVC feature, but our MFM Map dont have JCV , we need compiler to display that.

Is there any chance of Garmin actually giving the tools to MFM to create JCV?

If they are protecting MSM, then I guess its quite slim of a chance.

Hopefully Garmin is kind enough to give out the tools
