    hello

    hi everyone,
    a new member from makati since last month..ive been using a nuvi 1300 before now im using 265wt. i just notice differences between the two, 265wt is much slower in navigation compared to my previous 1300,is that normal,is the system speed of the previous more faster than the latter? further, when im navigating specialy in makati area, sometimes my current 265wt has confused in a way that the icon is not on the exact location a my position in real time,like one time i was navigating on paseo de roxas but the icon is on ayala avenue..more over sometimes the icon is not on the road but on the side of the road,too far enough..lastly, when i copied the the map used by my then 1300, i noticed that there two maps on my gps unit, two roadguide maps where in fact i had installed only one..i hope u can help with these concerns guys..thnk you verymuch..

    the tall bldgs in makati affect gps signal and lowers your accuracy.
    use an external antenna if you like to improve your signal in makati.

        As for the maps, if you are unsure, just delete them (both say Roadguide anyway and there are no other maps in the unit that you might accidentally delete?) then reinstall. Actually having 2 roadguide maps won't hurt, just uncheck one in maps/info.

        If you have other maps like US and stuff in there, then do not just delete the file, you might accidentally delete the built in maps.

        usually roadguide map is named gmapsupp.img and can be found in both the SD/microSD and in the main memory, usually in a folder named /map.
        Instead of deleting you might want to cut and paste it somewhere first just so that you can paste it back if it was not meant to be deleted.

        Most importantly, you should really try to start contributing if you can, coz the RG contributor's map is way more advanced than RG free map ver. 1.07.

            That is normal for RG maps.

                try this:
                1. delete all img files inside /map folder
                2. delete all img files in sd card
                (you may transfer these img files into you pc as backup)
                3. install fresh rg map
                then tell us how many maps show on your nuvi.
