Good luck.

1. Uploading Malsingmaps into Garmin Streetpilot and Nuvi

---------------------------------------------------------
a) Go get a card reader and buy a suitable 512MB (or higher) memory card. [So fa
r, the gmapsupp.img for all of Malaysia and Singapore has not exceeded 20MB. You
may use the spare capacity to store secret MP3 files and/or speedtrap files lat
er... ]
b) Turn on your computer.
c) Click this link -> [http://hewds.tmsk.uitm.edu.my/MalSing/index.php?&directio
n=0&order=&directory=misc/gmapsupp] to bring you to the download directory. This
directory contains old and new gmapsupp.zip files. Choose one that you like. Ea
ch zip file has maps for all of West & East Malaysia, Singapore, Road POIs and S
ingapore HDB carpark entrance POIs.
d) Download the file into a folder of your choice on your computer.
e) Unzip the file. You should see a file called gmapsupp.img
f) Copy this file to your SD card as follows \garmin\gmapsupp.img ( This means y
ou create a New Folder called Garmin in the root directory of your SD card, NOT
anywhere else. )
g) Put SD card into your GPS and turn it on.
h) Road POI and SGP HDB BLK POI image files are in the above gmapsupp.zip files
to assist you to find any road (in all of Malaysia and Singapore) or HDB block (
applicable only in Singapore. Remember: Do not use "Address Search" button on yo
ur Streetpilot or Nuvi. Use "Spell Name" button to find a POI as you would do fo
r any other POI.
i) OK. Dont' ask so much now, ya ? Just listen to instruction and start enjoying
your new toy.

2) Using Malsingmaps on Garmin Streetpilot and Nuvi

---------------------------------------------------
a) DO NOT USE "Address Search" button on your touchscreen to search to a address
.
b) Use "Spell Name" button on your touch-screen to spell a road name.
c) For example: Spell "Blangah" instead of "Telok Blangah Heights"; "Besar" inst
ead of "Jalan Besar"; "Kadut" instead of "Sungei Kadut Loop"; This is because na
mes are sometimes shortened to "Tl Blangah Hts" or "Jln Besar" or "Sg Kadut Loop
" ... :)
d) If you want to search for a HDB Block, just use "Spell Name" button and spell
"232" for eg. All the roads having Block number 232 will appear on your screen.
Choose the appropriate one and you are on your way.....
e) If you want to narrow your search, put a space before and after your block nu
mber as in " 232 ". If you are looking for block 2A (for eg), key in " 2 " with
a space before and after the digit 2. As the BLK POI project was painfully done
by many contributors, some of us ignore the alphabets... :), but you will still
get to the car park entrance of your desired block. Cheers.
f) I recently noticed that users of the StreetPilot C510, or the Nuvi 610/660 se
ries have a different screen after they press "Where To?" button. For these user
s, please press any button on your second screen..
eg, Press "Food, Lodging" button and you will see the "Spell Name" button. Start
keying in your road names here.....
3) Good luck
