[Civic6656]

Bros and sis, to those holding the affected models, you may want to do an update before you "lost" your way.

Thanks manz. Jus off-track abit, I am using nuvi 205w and there are quite a number of postal codes that couldnt be found. Its dam irritating when i am in a hurry, key in the postal code and drive off only to know that after 2 mins it says cannot find thn i am on the highway already, dont knw wat to do.

 

Any of you have this problem? Is there a way to solve it?

Missing postal codes or POI (Point of Interest) mean that it's not available on your map. Easiest solution to get an updated map and hopefully the postal code you're looking for is in it. Try the SLA-MFM map from http://www.malfreemaps.com It contains the postal codes courtesy of SLA

With or without the updates, I already got a few times when it's "Unable to calculate route to destination", in another words, it just give up.

 

For example, whenever I try to input Chai Chee Technopark from Punggol, I get this error. Another route is Jurong West Street 42 when in ECP... also doesn't work.

Perhaps you should get your unit SW upgraded.

Sounds like a map issue since it cannot calculate to only certain locations.

Anyone of you have problem with the suction cup mount? i need to replace the rubber piece as the whole have fallen off.

 

Went to slim lim and was told the whole suction cup assem. cost $30. is there anyway to replace just the rubber piece?

This is quite common problem. After a while, the suction mount loses its grip and under sunlight, it will slip off. For me, i just remount and avoid parking under hot sun. I do not think can replace just the rubber....but alternatively some bros bought the "bean bag" kinda of charger.

So far i only encountered this error with msm older map. Which map are you using btw?
