Hi bros,
I just came back from Ipoh for food hunt. I found out that M3X7 has some serious compatibility problem with MFM map. The routing at cities/towns have no problem, but North South Highway have problem. I selected my destination as Foh San restaurant in Ipoh. The moment I enter North South Highway, the routing will direct me to exit the highway at the next available exit, sometimes even exit through Rest area. This happens from my entry to North South Highway through Guthrie Highway and all the way to Behrang. After Behrang, its OK and the routing will direct me to exit at Simpang Pulai.
You guys can test using simulation. You choose POI Rawang R R and select Grand Paradise Hotel at Rawang Rest area as your start point. Then choose POI L B Behrang (N) and select Behrang (Northbound) layby as your destination. Then simulate. Did you see that the routing will ask you to exit at Bukit Beruntung which is around 10KM away? But Behrang is much more further than that. When I drive, it will ask me to exit at every exit.
Now, do simulation again. Choose POI L B Behrang (N) as your start point and choose POI Foh San restaurant as destination. Simulate. Now, the routing will direct you to exit at Simpang Pulai, which is correct.
Imagine what happened if I don't know the way. The routing will point me to rural roads to reach my destination. The funny thing is, this don't happen south bound when I drive to Singapore recently.
