That's why it's sometimes called the teaser map. Lots of people are already taking advantage of that map, using it as a selling point for selling overpriced GPS. Worse some of them are claiming the map as their own, without even acknowledging where the map came from. We're all for increasing gps usage in our country but each of us should also do our part to make the map better. Sad to say, some are there only to take advantage of the effort of others...

You'll understand these sentiments better imho when you get to use the contributor's map with your contributions in it...

There are some users like me who are not that techie enough and have limited time to contribute ... i understand that the purpose is not for selling the map, but we can contribute in some other ways ... there's cost involved in maintaining the site - would it be possible for members like us to just send contributions in cash to defray the expenses for maintaining the site, in exchange for having access to the full map

For your consideration sir/ma'am ... thanks in advance

With all due respect, most of the members here started out like you did, proclaiming that they were not techie enough, or did not have the time or some other reason. But most of them were able to move on and became contributors, thus getting to enjoy the contributor's map. Sorry to inform you that that's just the way it is, unless the rules are changed. So contribute waypoints/tracks (new or corrections) or GE traces to get the contributor's map... no more, no less...

and to add... actually, we are already giving something to the community. imagine a person has no map then suddenly found this site and poof... FREE map 5.17
then to get the other map v1.06 full version, all you have to do is contribute and magic.... free 1.06 full map
for what price.... free.
price to pay.... time

Hi hbt.

Turn on your Nuvi with a clear view of the sky...

... and select/check the Map Set (Settings-Map menu) that you have just downloaded. Good luck

I tried everything but not loading up so I am not sure If I downloaded the Philippines Maps correctly...Now Do I have to be in the Philippines for that to work on my Garmin? I thought that once you loaded any maps in Garmin you can just switch location and view it before hand? I am I missing something?

Thanks
