 |
|
A whole bunch of mappers, admin, mods split off to create
http://www.malfreemaps.com/index.php Join up if you are interested  a new community for the community, not to mention withouth strings attached
Who are we?
We are GPS mapping enthusiasts formerly from of GPSMappers.net and Malsingmaps.com. Our senior mappers, Sunn and OngCC form the core of this community. They are helped by many volunteers whom we called "valued contributors".
Our philosophy and objectives
We strongly believe in updating GPS maps and sharing it with members of the public. We do this as a hobby. We do not look forward to any monetary reward. Our own satisfaction plus appreciation from satisfied users are ample reward for us.
I also believe strongly in a community which treats everyone especially newbies nicely. Everyone is supposed to have fun with their gadgets and hobbies. So there is no point being hostile to those who are less familiar with online forums and forum etiquette.
Our relationship with Malsingmaps
The senior mappers had formerly shared their maps under Malsingmaps. All contributors are members of both communities. We see Malfreemaps and Malsingmaps as two similar community providing free and updated maps to the public. The difference is merely the philosophy of their mappers. However, both community's mapping activities are independent of each other. You are encouraged to send your map feedback to both forums
Of course, the above is our own view. Currently, our URL, http://www.malfreemaps.com, is prohibited at Malsingmaps forum. Our URL is automatically changed to some irrelevant words upon posting.
Our maps
Our maps are release through our MFM Mapsource mapset. You can download it for free without registrating as a Malfreemap member. The current v1.xx release has very detailed coverage of Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. We will try our best to update N Sembilan, Melaka, Johor and Singapore.
Due to overlaps, it is hard to combine MFM maps with Malsingmaps' West Malaysia and Singapore maps. You should have no problem combining MFM with Malsingmaps' Borneo maps. Please be advised that Malsingmaps' maps are locked. Please ensure that you have the proper unlock code to use Malsingmaps' maps.
Our source data
We will rely on source data posted by members at our MFM forum to update our maps. We will also rely on residual contributions under our old GPSMappers.net forum. In addition, mappers map with their own source of data.
We decided not to use any contributions at MSM. Proper consent from MSM contributors cannot be obtained because of our "illegal" status over there. So we will wait patiently until these map data contributions finally reach our forum. |

After reading most of the blogs, they are hardly convincing !
Always interesting to see someone just register in forum to post
this sort of "info"
Declaration: I do not know anyone in Malsingmaps or Malfreemaps |
