1)Like where is the best place i can get them...

2)The maps, etc...

3) price range..

 

 

the accessories page on GPS gadget is like :faint: ...... No one bothers to reply...

 

Thanks in advance for any information contributed...

1)Like where is the best place i can get them...

2)The maps, etc...

3) price range..

 

 

1) depends on how u define as "best"

 

cheapest but damm ley chey way - go to amazon.com, purchase ur GPS unit in USD, ship free to vpost address. ship to sg within 3mths

 

cheap but no warranty - go to sim lim tower B1-17 and B1-22, got sell export set.

 

expensive but with warranty - go to sim lim tower level 1 (Hoan) or sim lim square (perfect watch)

 

 

 

2) all export sets ie. units meant for US/UK etc, no local maps installed. some local sets come with free preloaded sg-msia maps. u can also purchase the official maps from garmin in the form of an SD card. but quality can never beat jerome wee's maps which can be "bought" at ard $30 for all. but he only has few asian countries. other maps can be bought from other sources like rotweiler's for a fee.

 

 

3) price range is quite varied. juz a rough price guide on the more popular choices of GPS units: nuvi200w $400....... 60csx $500.......... hcx vista $400...... zumo550 $1400

 

hope dat helps. i'm going away on holiday tmrw morning. so wun be able to answer ur questions. hope u find a GPS unit u like.

Hi

Best place to source for a GPS will be at Sim Lim square. There's a shop on the ground floor that sells the full range of Garmin GPS and price range from $200 - $1500. Depends on what you needs. As Garmin's pretty popular with bikers from all over the world is due to the ease of use(you may be blur the first time but after meddling with it it gets easier), good map support all over the world. Full range of accessories for us bikers. Personally had 3 Garmin gps and it did not fail me. I've got no problems with maps from Singapore all the way till Cambodia as the support is pretty good and adding more. So it's your call on what you want.

 

I think it's a good idea if you spend a bit of time to read from page 1 from the GPS thread then you would not have faced this kind of problems. I know it's very long but I started from there too gain knowledge on GPS from there.

most budget is get a fone pda

 

eg: dopod d810 ( i using 2nd hand $400 ), tytnII , atom v etc wif gps

 

load with mapking ( free software n map ).

 

install a charger , holder to your bike

 

use a earpiece to listen to direction ( bluetooth earpiece better )

[edition]

agree with phill and is better cau when u go out u dun hv to carry ur GPS device with u but u carry ur hp with u everywhere mah .. jus wait for the up coming IT show at suntec 2nd week of june .. u buy from them gt better price if not gt goodies ..

[Stardust83]

wow bro,going touring alone liao ar ? lolx..to where ? Thailand ? Thumbs up for u !

[Ones_Co]

I will say try not to use phone gps...

 

buy a standalone gps is much better

 

cause most of phone gps scare of rain... and will eat up ur batt very fast

 

buy gps which use AA batt will save u some trouble

tats why i got charger install on my bike.

 

as for rain. put fone inside tank bag. well.. it depends on budget n needs. to me, phone gt resale value.

[edition]

i depend on the TS nw liao wat he reli wants .. gps fone and standalone gps each have their pros can cons .. to prevent rain from gps fone is easy jus crack ur brain abit u can find alot of resources from ur hm.. do is depends on individual needs bah .. to me GPS no need buy those super exp wan .. cau u won;t use it frequent .. mostly for the 1st trip to ur destination .. 2nd or more u may not reli need it anymore cau u will noe the way ..
