I have managed to get the MFM (C20100415) to work in Powermap Z9. I used the header (hdr file), MapAniPOI.psu and standard.mb6 from original Powermap Z9 and the kuf file provided by torsten.schmitz. You can get those file from

It works great with two problems.
1) The POI is not properly categorized
2) The POI icon is wrong.
Can anyone teach me on how to change the category ID of each BMP (extracted from the PSU). I've tried to open the BMP files with HxD but can't see anything that I can understand to change it.
I've heard a few comments/ideas from some forumers on modifying the BaseLangResENGL.dll to match the category but I think it's better to manage the MapAniPOI.psu. This is because, the language file and psu file used is both from Powermap Z9 original map, I believe it's supposed to use the right category with the right wording, but somehow it's not.
That might mean that the map is expecting different kind of ID. For example, maybe 7Eleven ID that the map understand is ID 5, but the ID 5 in the psu file refers to CIMB icon. So when we see a 7Eleven POI, it shows a CIMB icon instead.
For now, maybe we should focus on changing the icon first. Categories in the Search POI can wait because it's not that critical. You can still search based on GPS location or State which I think still OK.
Below are my findings, it's quite enough (for study purpose). I'll update the list once I found any other mismatch.
Icon infoPizza Hut icon = Housing Area
CIMB icon = 7Eleven
KIA icon = Restaurant
AMbank icon = Shopping Center (TESCO/Giant)
Jusco icon = Education/Goverment Administration Building
Building with flag = surau/mosque
Maybank icon = Hospital
Mydin icon = Agrobank
Carrefour icon = School
Esso icon = Car Park
Tesco icon = Taxi Stand
Mydin icon = Ambank
water pipe icon = TMPoint
Honda Icon = Market/Pasar
Public Bank icon = Hotel
Bookshop icon = Computer Shop/Mall
Airport/Plane icon = University
Category infoDepartment Store = Schools/Education

goverment = industrial/business
emergency = Toll Booth
health center = clinic
transportation = Bank

Residence = church
Bank = Others? includes digi, TM, Police Station
ATM = KFC/Pizza Hut
Convinience Store = Workshop/Service Center
Car Dealership = Restaurant
education = Embassy
religion = dunno, contains kompleks pkns, plaza citra, skynet cheras
other POI = Again, Chinese temple
If anyone want to have a look at the extracted BMP from the original Powermap Z9 MapAniPOI.psu, you can download it from:

Another question, why we can't read the original MapAniPOI.psu came with MFM? I mean, when using this PSU, no icon is shown on the map at all. Any different with the header? Can we change that?
