GPS Navigator - Which one to get?

[David Chin]

There are many out there but which one should I get. Have anyone tried the one recently launched by Packard Bell? How are the maps in term of accuracy and quality? Can it compare with more established brand like Garmin Nuvi or Tibo? All feedbacks welcome. Thanks.

Best GPS brand is GARMIN. Many world Army also using this brand.

Forgotten to add, there are many FREE maps in Garmin and Mapking format avail from internet, this is another important factor when buying a GPS, as road/street tends to change, with FREE update, you can save lots of $$$.

Today's Digital life has a good review of Garmin, Mapking, NavFone.

Under POI (point of interest) searches: Garmin was put as difficult. What does that mean? For those who are using it, is it difficult to use and locate places to go?

thanks in advance.

I had used 2 Garmin handheld GPS devices before, it's one of the few companys than only produce GPS devices.

Just like when I want to buy phone, I only think of Nokia.

I am planning to get a Garmin for my coming roadtrip to Toronto and New York. Any basic/entry model to recommend? Looking at the Nuvi series but not sure the 200 or 300 series.

Any comments/feedbacks from anyone?

Bought a Garmin Nuvi 310 last week frm Allbright, textile centre, jln sultan.
Got tts (text to speech) n bluetooth function. MP3 n also photoviewing capability using sd card. I'm using malsing map. So far, enjoying every minute with it. Drive to Muar with it, very spot on.

Cheers

Sounds cool. How much did it cost in S$ for this entire setup? Also is it easy to install in car or do we need to go to workshop etc? Cheers.
