we can go by this way too. Not necessary cut in from Kulai, and we can skip the tebrau highway stretch.

whyzee · March 11, 2011

Saving $$ liao.
TMD... close to $5k per person?

that is for following tour package ba, where they provide vehicles and such. need to have min. 5 ppl too. if we go explore ourselves, dont think need so much.

Many many pple at the IT fair. Parking lots are full.

I did a illegal parking opposite expo under bridge.

My research:

The cost of Holux is lower. 199SGD you can get a 5 inch screen. It is slimmer.

But... the map update is not as active as Garmin. The community is not that active.

What I am looking for in a update is POI in malaysia and new roads

Garmin 1350 cost 199 but it is 4.3 inch with a silver rim around the screen. Looks neat to me

The latest map update is on the 070311. Generally the community is active.

Well if your other consideration is mei mei, then Holux may be the prefer choice. The mei mei looks cute:sweat:

scoobydoo · March 12, 2011

hahahaha... ask you to look for the middle aged man who's possibly the boss you go look for mei mei. no wonder cannot bargain for more discounts or freebies

got so cute or not?

Checked... seems like Air India cheapest for direct flight to Delhi.

Return is about SGD $650, which is similar to flight to Chiangmai.

Should be possible within $2k.

$2k is possible. Family suite are ard S$40 a night there. I need to buy some india maps soon then can ask my friend to help me plot it. I'm standing by ard 3k though.

scoobydoo · March 13, 2011

air india? i flew on it before and had to breathe indian air onboard air india some 5Â½ hrs before arrival at india itself

i usually fly SQ direct or MH via KL; took TG once but their flights have long transit times at BKK so TG is not time efficient.

btw, if go delhi, strongly suggest you extend 2 days... 1 day to visit the taj mahal (take early morning 6+am express train to agra, take 6+pm evening express train back to delhi), 1 day to see around new/old delhi.

need more guide on new delhi? ask me during next gathering... i lived in india for about 2+years in total; stayed >1 year in the north, including shimla which is up the himalayas (himachal pradesh)

yo Fusionjaz

congrats on your purchase of your very first GPS and welcome to the Garmin GPS fraternity

now that you have bought the Garmin set, you'll need to go though a learning curve and some standard activities towards making it really useful.

Some FAQ answers:

* basically, garmin sets can use 3 "versions" of maps in Sg... City Navigator NT (from garmin), Malsing Map (free community map, Sg/My/Br) and Malfree Map (free community map, Sg/My/Th). many of us use MFM cos it provides the most details and covers Thailand

* points of interests or POI are additional "tips" added onto those already included in the maps. you can try disabling them via the "tools - settings - map" module and see what's the difference. POIs may be saved in microSD card under folder Garmin\POI\

* garmin nuvi 1xxx series with new firmware are able to "carry" multiple maps, unlike the older firmware where only the GMAPSUPP.IMG is the recognisable map.

simply create a folder in root of your microSD card (or unit) called Map\ and save your maps there. you can name the maps with any name with an .IMG extension, e.g. MFM_mar11, MFM_110309.IMG, etc.

* DO NOT enable ALL maps as they will overlap and cover each other. i.e. enable only 1 map at one time.

* getting a fix (your location) for the first time usually takes much longer than under normal use as the set needs to "familiarise" itself to the operating geographical area/environment.

some useful links:

* learn/understand the ups/downs of the garmin 1350, many trick/tips are also discussed there; every make/model has their inherent issues... no set is perfect

Garmin Nuvi 1350

* download the latest MFM maps (Sg + My + Th)

Free Malaysia & Singapore GPS Map: MFM-Garmin YYMMDD

* download the latest MFM Points of Interests aka POI (Sg + My + Th)

Free Malaysia Garmin Custom POI: MFM-CPOI v2.08 (30/03/10)

* how to install or extract the MFM maps

MFM-Garmin Installation Step by Step Guide

* how to install Garmin Mapsource... optional but useful for planning on a PC then sending the "plans" (routes) to the GPS unit, good for backing up your favorites/waypoints.

How to install Garmin Mapsource

enjoy your new toy

Wah. Encik Pat's group back from their Rainbow Falls trip but didn't make it to the waterfall.
