Hi all,

I'm a newbie to Malsingmaps forum.

I recently installed Kenwood's DDX7032 together with KNA-G431 and had ventured into this forum.

I have read some of the topics here already but still have the following questions to ask:

Q1: If I load v2.15 malsingmap into my KNA-G431, will it erased the original Garmin map in this unit?

Q2: If I load any of the Community POI file (e.g. poi.gpi), will it erased the original POI of my KNA-G431?

Maybe these questions are already answered. Please pardon me if they are. I am on my after-burners now in this forum. Got alot of way points to cover. =P~

Hi SilverBeauty,

I have loaded the v2.15 Malsingmap into my KNA-G431 and it works perfectly. Still reading up on how to contribute to get unlocked codes for the latest map. Quite exhausive information to digest man... :oops:

As for the POIs, I have loaded Bro Vios484's poi.gpi into my same unit's \Garmin folder; but the KNA-G431 still doesn't register any Custom POIs.

Hmmm... Wonder what I did wrongly. :ko:

Hi SilverBeauty,

Please ignore my previous posting. I have found the cause of it. The POI file should be placed inside \GARMIN\POI folder and not what I did previously in \GARMIN folder.

Pai seh... :oops:

Hi all seniors,

I am not sure whether it's my hearing problem or what. It seems that any road name with the word "Link" in it is pronounced as "Lake" and not "Link". Is this because the shortform for "Link" is spelt as "Lk" in the map; which the GPS system interprets as shortform for "Lake"?

I am baffled when I heard Anchorvale "Lake" just now...

If my hearing is correct, then maybe shortform for "Link" should be spelt as "LI"? Or the whole word "Link" should be included in the road name?

Still catching up on the reading of this forum... apologies.

I guess the "Anchorvale Lk" is the one in Singapore (SG-R map). You'll need to post that feedback/request in "SG-R" forum, since Jerome doesn't frequent so much the rest of the forum. And quite likely he'll miss this post in Newbie forum with a general title.
O:)

you have to put the poi.gpi under \Garmin\POI directory. The POI directory have to create a new one.

Hello guys, I bought a kenwood KNA-G430, while routing, the map is not complete or missing to show some city side road. How to fix this?

I had read that have to request an unlock code from senior here. But how?
