hello sir gripitoy. welcome to roadguide. before answering your question, pls post in english or include an english translation as we have non-Filipino members here.Originally posted by Gripitoy View Post
with regards to your question. you can update your map by contributing those that needs to be updated.
at present, you are using the previous version of the map. once you have read the "how to" section, you will then learn that there is a newer version of the map available which you can see on the computer but will not be uploaded on your unit unless you become a contributor. pls check on the v1.09 demo map. maybe the ones you saw are already updated there. if not yet, pls do contribute them. when you become a contributor, you will enjoy your map much much more as it is more updated.
pls read the FAQ for more info. just click the link below.

hi, i'm sorry, i will post in english from now on... :-)
i followed the steps on using the mapsource, does it only work on Windows XP? im using windows 7 now, after i extracted the files, and double clicked on one of the exe files, nothing happens... anyway, i'd really love to contribute... as i can see that there are un named streets here in cagayan de oro, and some street and bridge names have changed....
and i also downloaded the demo map, but since i cant make the mapsource work on windows 7. i really have no idea how to contribute....
-----------------------------------------------------
i downloaded mapsource 6.13.7 but when installing it says no previous mapsource, how to fix this?Last edited by Gripitoy; 01-24-2010, 15:43.Comment

Welcome to Roadguide Gripitoy! Hope you have resolved your mapsource installation problem. CDO contributions are very much welcome, especially updated routing conditions (i.e. one-way streets, no entry, new streets) & of course updated points of interest that would be of great help to travellers and tourist. Give us a pm if you're in the city of gentle people, so we can show you a few tips on how to be an efficient contributor. Hope to see your contributions soon as soon as you've gone over the "How to's"...Comment

your installation is incomplete. you have to install training center first before mapsource.Originally posted by Gripitoy View Post
however, im not sure if mapsource 6137 will work on windows 7. if it doesnt work, try the newer version 615.FAQ for Newbies? Read here.

Marking of waypoints can be done on foot and is the preferred method of some contributorsOriginally posted by Gripitoy View Post
. So not having a vehicle's not an excuse if you really want to avail of the contributor's map. Suggest you set aside a day (few hours only actually and you can record a hundred waypoints easily esp. if the area is not yet well represented in the updated map) to gather waypoints for the commercial district of your locality. And do it before that excitement wanes a bit. But be careful though, this activity can be addicting...
