It's supposed to be a all-in-one GPS, and it is not intended to be a replacement model for the Zumo.

SLT first floor would be Hoan Enterprise. Hoan Enterprise and Perfect Watch are authorised Garmin dealers so their sets carry local warranty.

 

How much is the Nuvi 500 ?

To Garmin (mapping capable GPS Only) owners,

 

Malsingmaps (MSM) will be releasing the latest Peninsular Malaysia & Singapore and Borneo sometime end of Sep to celebrate Hari Raya 2008.

 

Went there; so it is the Jan 2008 maps? That is the latest device-usable maps?

 

Sorry to sound like a dork if I miss the relevant page!

Not the Jan 2008 version. Currently, the latest maps is Aug 2008, Ver 2.29. The soon to be released is known as "Raya 2008 Festival Edition Map Release ".

People from MSM also learned from the movies people. Must have trailers to build up the anxiety, and time the release for an absolute orgasmic experience.

i m using E66 and successfully installed Garmin Mobile XT to my phone,

i also loaded malsingmap to it. everything is working well and fine,

but how come when routing me to my destination, dont have any sound from my phone to route me to the place, if like that i have to keep looking to my screen when i ride. (i put in my pocket everytime when i use GPS so i can here), i m using NOKIA map also and it got sound nav from phone, but it will expire after 3 months...

 

u didn't install the language pack, hence no voice..

Can someone pls enlighten me if there are any service charges for accessing GPS (smtg like GPRS)? For example, after turning on the GPS device and it should obtain its current location every now and then from the satellite right???

 

Is this service free? Sorry for the noobie qn as i hve not used a GPS device before and could not find the ans in the thread....

 

yes, there're data charges from line provider if u're using A-GPS (so called GPRS). but if u turn it off and rely on ur in-build gps, no charges incur.

This is set up by ex-MSM veteran, antyong, and some of the MSM (malaysia) mappers.

As in their name "MalFreeMaps" MFM, their maps, at least for now, only cover Malaysia.

 

The MFM v1.02 is still very buggy, and has alot less details than the MSM v2.29. MFM has alot of grounds to cover in order to reach the current standard of MSM.

 

Nevertheless, it is a good thing. This would keep MSM on their toes, and also give GPS users an alternative.
