Under the Navigation Options you should check your avoidance settings and make sure U-turn avoidance is not enabled. For route preference settings you can try 'Shorter distance' instead of 'Faster time'.garmin for me...
but sometime it guide me to long way......
thanks for all the info above...Under the Navigation Options you should check your avoidance settings and make sure U-turn avoidance is not enabled. For route preference settings you can try 'Shorter distance' instead of 'Faster time'.
All in all, it's still a machine and wouldn't match a good human guide, but still far better than getting hopelessly lost

By the way, GPS is useless without good maps.
The default Garmin maps are in one word 'shit'.
The best maps for Malaysia is from Malfreemaps. Free, updated every Monday and covers Malaysia, Singapore and most of Southern Thailand

thanks for the remind.. ya i already done itJust checking, but did you disable Malsingmaps and other default Garmin maps before enabling the MFM maps ? It's best you enable only the MFM maps otherwise there is a possibility of different maps clashing.
Go to Tools>Settings>Map>Map Info
Tick all the boxes corresponding to MFM maps. Untick everything else
MFM maps will not harm your Garmin.It's been great, still playing around to gain more understanding on how it works (while GPS is off) but I notice that searching by address is NOT easy using default maps, and nothing beats locating one using coordinates, so I still need to googlemap certain places beforehand, just to look for coordinates.
Yet to download latest maps from the links since I notice the default maps are quite outdated - 'fret that it will harm the unit, or will it not? Maybe soon then.
