Nzy Twincharged September 13, 2012 Share September 13, 2012 Buy a GPS instead. It worth the price. Don't use handphone GPS. I was in Malacca and i was staying in Holiday Inn. We drove out for dinner outside town and there are some road closure which makes the way we always used inpassable to traffic because some VIP is visiting Malacca. We have 2 cars and the lead car is using GPS from the phone. It not the map is useless, it useless because they can only give you one way back to where we are going to. It quite late and we have kids and old folks who are hungry. So i just turn on my GPS and my TOM TOM GPS gave me another way back instantaneously. Here you go, that my story. Standalone or portable GPS do have some advantage over these handphone GPS when you are outside of Singapore. They can search and edit and store all your necessary destination info.... Hope i can influence to buy a standalone GPS... of course, buy your GPS during the IT show. They will give you more years of map updates Using Sygic all the time and even overseas don't seem to have problem. I think maybe its the app rather than the phone. When I use sygic everytime I turn wrongly it will just reroute. So overseas sometimes I see jam or road closed I just anyhow turn somewhere first and it'll find another route.

Greyminswift 1st Gear September 14, 2012 Share September 14, 2012 i dun have a car bro (renting a car over this weekend) and makes no sense to buy a GPS now (also cannot cfm if i will be buying car in future). so prefer something free and can be used on my mobile phone. When i was on car sharing, i bought a GPS for convenience. A bit leceh to have to pack the gps and its holder everytime i need to use the car, but its good to have something that's dedicated. Garmin nowadays sells its units with lifetime updates, so dont need to worry about map being outdated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia 4th Gear September 14, 2012 Share September 14, 2012 We have 2 cars and the lead car is using GPS from the phone. It not the map is useless, it useless because they can only give you one way back to where we are going to. User error. Of course you get alternate routes. Unfortunate that native Google Maps doesn't work for Singapore. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
