Fact 5: The future of mapping is with the Garmin Native Compiler

Garmin has officially announced Malsingmaps as the map supplier for Malaysia and Singapore. Currently Malfreemaps is compiling with an illegal Garmin compiler called cgpsmapper. As far I know, Garmin has never approved of this cgpsmapper compiler and thus the activities at Malfreemaps are at best illegal: Producing maps in a proprietary Garmin format.

I have been led to understand that the cgpsmapper compiler yields:
1. Large compiled map size
2. Slow recalculations on wrong turns
3. Possibility of ruining your GPS device with the illegal maps, thus voiding your warranty

Thus I strongly believe that the future of Malfreemaps is uncertain. I hope contributors of Malfreemaps will realize that their efforts will meet a dead-end if they continue with the illegal Garmin map format compiled by cgpsmapper.

The future of mapping is in the native Garmin format which is with Malsingmaps who can produce compiled Garmin maps using Garmin native compilers.
