Nway i choosed Garmin at tht moment solely bcos itz 1 of brand tht got Msia map covered. itz not official actually. u have to googling around, find exact software, loads it up to ur GPS n then always keep updating as the Map is made by amateur on internet community( the 1 im using is Malsing community). u got be the member, then PM the admin, then they sent u the file. if u want the latest Map, then u have to contribute sumthing back to the community or got invitation by the admin. itz quite a process which i reckon suggest Y isz not in demand at tht moment...
well the time changed now... now u can simply bought Garmin or TOMTOM anywhere (actually most of them in LowYat or navigation shop) Garmin even got their own shop in the Curve which official maps. while Tomtom i;m not sure if they do have their own shop but u can get it in Msia n they also got their official of Malaysia which they said covered 54.6% of Malaysia wif full details for KL n 99.9% S'pore.
After 3years using my beloved old Garmin wif itz old tech, reloading n empty both Oz n Msian map every time i traveled back home(since it only got 256Mb memory on SDcard, yup i noe itz very old tech) It finally come to point where it keep sending me an error when i tried to transfer back to Oz map..probably bcos i havent done this process on my desktop (just got it early last year) but after tweakn n reinstalled the program it yet to back to norm..well it alost a month now since im back to Oz n i need to sed it if i wanna travel to sumwhere i'm quite not familiar..
then after i done bit of googlin i decide to just get a new 1 wif preinstalled Oz map. so here it is, my budget GPS. itz 2nd from bottom class but it features just perfect for me or should i say impressed me .probably the features bcome more n more cheaper everyday.
this model features spoken road names (this is cool, so less lookin at the screen, just hear the instruction) MapShare (u can share ur map wif frez if u made any correction) GoToBuddy (nie cam friend finder la) preload speed n red light camera (super cool!! save me money) n some other small features tht i reckon itz actually normal in other current GPS brand ( well, my old Garmin is quite old tech.hehehe) such as QuickSatFix (itz record next 7day of satelites movement which allow for quick startup) Mac book compatible software, funny voice instruction, and other setting tht u can make to personalise ur device. cooll!!
P/s: lepas nie lagi jauh la merayap yek!! yes yes!!
