Hi there,

I was told the PDA phone brand Dopod P800W has the GPS system but how reliable as compare to this unit mention here.

 

As I think the phone is very cool like whenever you need a GPS is there, whenever you need a PDA or phone it is also there. Just one piece of unit.Right????

in one part u r right but it depends on the user. some like all-in-ones but some duns cos of the inconveniences n conveniences. anyways it's up to u. for me, i got the mio p550 which is a PDA gps n oso a media player for me n i hv my phone by itself too so as to not get interrupted by phone calls whenever i am using the gps...

After using Nuvi 300 with malsing map, I feel that for people who to need do detail search better buy Garmin set that come with map that cost addition $200. Because malsing map unable to key in for block number or unit number [thumbsdown]. Garmin map can searching by block number together with street name [thumbsup] Another thing is TTS not really important to what i feel [nod] directional voice guide is good enough liao [laugh]

 

Any bro using Nuvi300? Does it being charge when connect to PC USB port?

 

U can charge using usb 2 PC or buy in sim lim square or someting an adaptor 2 connect the cig socket 2 the power socket.I bought it at hoan 4 $10.

 

I dun feel its necessary 2 get the exact blk num coz malsing map guides u 2 the carpark entrance of the cluster of flat..dun tell me u still need a gps 2 guide u 2 the block??? [:|]

 

I agree with you bro! I need blk or unit number search because i travel island wide to work! Its very useful when i go to Tuas area where unit & block maybe far from each other!

For malsingmap, load in the HDB POI and u will be able to search by block nos. Check out www.malsingmaps.com for details. Using the Nuvi 660 now and love the routing engine. Very very fast. I tried to disobey the instruction and the routing engine is able to find me a new route very quickly.

 

Bro! care to share on how to load in HDB POI? I'm not sure how this POI things work [sweatdrop] Am i right to say that once the HBD POI is loaded into my Nuvi i can search by block number [idea] Den this will be great [thumbsup]

Just d/l the gmapsupp.img from the website, copy to your SD card under the garmin folder and you are done. The 9 maps w HDB and Roads POI are all within this img file.

 

U can also copy the 3 alert POIs, namely Redlight Camera alert, ERP alert and speed camera alert into the smae directory. Go to malsingmaps website and explore.

I don't think it's determination bro, I love it so much that I cannot do anything else. Honestly, by the age of 7, I already knew that this was what I was going to do in life...

 

U have alot of love [:p][nod][thumbsup][thumbsup][thumbsup] even at age of 7

Nice pic you have there. How did you wire up your Garmin to your car? The wire seems to be wired from the bottom right...
