[Kieran1975]

so which map is better, malsing or mapking?

[Root]

 

They don't carry 660 with pre-loaded aust map ....

[Zsr19]

info - malsing provide a map that can be used by mapking software or Garmin

 

http://www.malsingmaps.com/ is a great place on GPS query.

Malsing has a world map with detail roads (but not as much as road directory) for major cities and major roads for most countries. I used it in Perth, Australia and it is as good as a road directory. Had keyed in some coordinates for the tourist attractions in Margaret River area for future visit.

Hi bro, can show me the link?

 

Thanks....

Don't know the link. I copied the map from someone. This map includes detail road directory of Malaysia and Singapore for Garmin.

I like this world map because at least you can use it anywhere and it shows you your location, even if there is no road on the map. With this info, you can take it as reference to major roads on the map to navigate.

 

My Nuvi 370 already has full Europe and US Garmin map, so with Malsing world map, I am pretty much covered for my driving holiday in most places.

like that also can?

 

I'll be going to perth for holiday, that's the main reason for getting the pre-loaded aust map so that i can navigate to the destination i wish to visit.

 

The garmin aust map is very expensive. Where as the map for europe and north america is not priced so much

 

Don't understand why

[Poortraveller]

the world map can download from garmin website ... i download mine there but dun ask me the website cus i forgot liao ...

[Cklasse]

The Malsing world map has a detailed Perth city map and the Western Australia roads (major and most minor road). If you are going to Perth, get this map and you are well covered from the city to Albany. The Garmin has allowed me to drive at night in total darkness (other than the car headlight), which I wouldn't have done it without a GPS.

 

Btw, I had input the tourist attractions as my favourite location into the Garmin, so if you want it, I can pm you the coordinates.

You can download the Australia map from here, for free but it is not easy to test it as you are not there.

Which will lead you to here for Perth map:

If you have problem, KC will guide you to install and test it in singapore.

Thanks for the offer.

 

Currently, i'm thinking of asking my fren who is studying in aust to make a local purchase there and bring back to sin during his summer holiday.

 

I think this is the best option by now.

[Axela525]

so can install malsing maps?

[yes]

got those voice indicator?

[got voice....got chinese somemore...)

 

But...the time to recalculate the distance (ie when u make a wrong turn) take a bit long.

normal...Garmin original faster re-calculating...
