anybody using Nuvi 760 ???

[Wyv9]

Went to the IT fair today and heard from the DAUF saleperson that the FM traffic information will be implemented in Singapore soon. Wondering whether is it true?

 

How does it works? Need to pay for the services?

 

If it is good, I may get the Garmin Nuvi 660 instead of 200w.

Hi, Drafting88

 

Any reason why u do not use the dashboard disk and mounting to "stick" to the dashboard? The beanbag will look out of place on the dashboard, IMO.

 

Thanks.

Suction cups dry up very fast and may drop from windscreen..

[Tjkbeluga]

Yes, I heard from one of the EastGear guy too. LTA is currently testing it. Stupid thing is, it uses GPRS to receive data. Imagine how much that will cost to receive data! Also, not to mention, such service will definitely be charged.

gprs !!!! damn ... den dun bother liao .....

[Dwoon]

No leh...... my suction cup sticks to the windscreen extremely tightly.

mine was okie in old ride. then i took it out and put in my new ride. the suction came off only after i do solar film. So this time round, i clean the surface and really wack hard on windscreen and lock it. So far so good

If using GPRS, best is u have subscription to mobile subscriber like 20+ a mth where u can surf using mobile. Anyway if no subscription, u will paid a premium price for watever data transferred

this means that the gps can tells u where got traffic jam i guess

[Mivec9]

bro, which map u using now, which version?

 

I am considering whether to donate to jerome or contribute to Malsingmap to get latest march 2.30 Gold edition.

[Dwoon]

Even if you donate to Jerome, you'll only get updated and improved version for the Singapore & Johor maps. The rest of malaysia, you still need Malsingmaps gold eidtion V2.23 for the latest updates (with address search feature)

[Mivec9]

hmm, then in that case, i will for gold edition, need learn hard how to use mapsource

Like what many with Jerome's maps do, u can use sendmap20 to compile a gmapsupp of Sin and My by combining both Jerome's maps and Malsingmaps' gold edition. As you already have Jerome's maps of Sg and Johor, u just need to remove the Sg and Johor files from the Malsingmaps before you combine them.

In Uk, it seems to be in radio freq. If Singapore uses GPRS, then we will have to pay a bomb to use. May not be worth it then.
