Just a suggestion:

 

Due to our local built-up,( especially in shenton way), tunnel, HDB flats cluster, is very important to look for addition sensor.

 

1. For in-car type, eg SVDO or those factory fitted, they come with a speed sensor which the GPS tap the speed from the car CPU.

 

2. For portable type, eg Tom Tom, the GPS fitted a G-force sensor.

 

With these 2 kind of sensor, the GPS still work when lost of satellite signal, especially inside tunnel and in between tall building.

 

Cheers

Garmin Nuvi 200W

 

Can update maps yourself from Malsingmaps or Malfreemaps.

I am using a older model 250 i think. My dad is using the 200W.

[confused] if a GPS system need so many things to work, how is LTA going to really implement GPS ERP [confused]

 

 

2 different issue.

 

The GPS we use are for helping us find our way to the location hence need so many function.

 

but gahmen GPS only want to know where are we now. so only need one function

But then there has to be a sensor on our cars/machines which will identify the position of the car to the government enabled GPS? Who is going to bear the cost? the owners of the cars?

I have 2 GPS.

 

One built in the ICE. a China brand, very slow to complete start up for use-- in minutes, and can "hang" when in heavily built up area. so I give up using it.

 

Bought a Germin 1350- so much faster, like current maps, with pop up image with lane markers at major intersection.

 

Consider also map update facilities.

 

Garmin -offer free update.

Some no update.

Tibo- update during warranty.

That's all I know, perhaps others can add on:
