one of my friend phone went knock out after installing dunno wat software. went back service center to reinstall OS

hmmm, i think lowest range of garmin nuvi should be at this price range.

 

Other than that, i can think of those gps pda which can install third party software to use the free map.

 

else, go for those pda-like phones, eg. samsung omnia to do same thing.

ok, maybe will buy the lowest range of garmin nuvi or maybe get a second hand middle range if it's around that price, I don't need it for local driving, more of up North

[Mivec9]

to save $$, think buy good condition ones most worth it.

 

But if u r like me, prefer new ones, then can buy new and cheap from overseas or freelancers here.

Cheap GPS can be brought from US then ship over to Singapore. The pricing will be cheaper than buying from singapore. about $100 cheaper.

 

Cheap as in China brand ?

 

Can pass me the US website that is selling it ?? Thanks

I'm using Garmin Nuvi 200. $250-$270. Good for normal navigation. No extra video, mp3 player etc.

He (his bro actually) drove to my place, tested the GPS in front of me, and teaches me how to use it.

It includes malsingmaps and useful POIs like ATMs SAMs Speedtraps ..etc.

 

I'm using Jerome's map (Singapore-Johor) only though. http://gpsmaps.jwpixs.com/

1 time US$20 donation for life long updates. Malsing is also using his map for Singapore but less detailed.

 

Not afflicted with the above people mentioned, just have been enjoying their services since I got my GPS 1 month ago.

 

Ok, that's a reasonable price

 

I don't need other fancy features, just primary GPS for driving up North, like around K.L., Penang, etc... , local no need

[Vtim]

need help, which brand of GPS, max @ S$300, that can use free map ???

Go get Nuvi lah...cheap and good, but please go to the right website to get free maps if not you will be humiliated. Its like begging and if you dont know how to create POI ( like me ) you will get HELL, not help.

ok, lot of reply mention about Nuvi 200, will take a look maybe this weekend or next. If need help on getting free map, I will look for you

I just recieved my Nuvi 205 this morning.

Price including shipping is ~$250-260.

 

Refer to this for a comparison between 200W and 205W (widescreen version of 200/205)

So, if I order from US and get them to ship to VPOST then back to SG, won't it be cheaper that way

[Dualie]

For my case, yes.

ok, now have to "convince" Finance Minister

[Droozy]

hihi

 

bro.. can u teach me how to load the map into the pc or into the garmin device ? I have dl the V110 into pc but I cant find instructions on how to load and use it . Presently I have the Malsingmap inside my garmin

 

ACtually which is better ?

[Multi]

For MFM V1.10, you need to join the maps together firsusing either Sendmap or Gmaptool and create as .img file. Copy this file to your SD card in your Garmin folder. You cannot have 2 Gmapsupp.img in the same folder. Rename it if you have Malsingmap's map in it. Since V1.10 is new, the POI and details are not as good as Malsingmaps yet, so as of now...Malsingmaps is better.

What phone are you using? If your phone running Symbian OS like Nokia, maybe you can try loading GMXT into it. Problem solve...

 

PM you wrt December Trip.
