well, he need to find it out from his fellow colleaques for more info....the humble streetdirectory has more info in it too....kinda ironic if he werking as a despatch but dun know the way ard....i meant its the main criteria for the job isnt it?..hehe

or wat u can do is travel around singapore blindly every night. or like wat nebulaz mention, always bring along the streetdirectory cos there's no way anyone can remember the whole of singapore and wat more all the shortcuts.

The GPS is your best bet on the road.

 

The only expense is the GPS itself, using it is free.

 

For Garmin GPS, you can enter the address, it will work out a route from your current location to your destination based on your selection of

a. Shortest Route, or fastest route

b. By Foot, or by Car

 

It's quite a common gadget in cabs now.

well, my dad is a despatch and he kinda suck at directions too.. he'll be calling my momma for directions every other hour. till his lovely daughter save him (lovely daughter= mua!!)

 

got him a PDA. installed it with streetdirectory for PDA. and voila.. calls reduced... cept for that occasional "wats cooking" calls now.

 

hope tt helps

you holland a few times.. cfm will familiar one.. takes experience and time lah.. =)

[EeLa07]

and anyway.. i think GPS is free when u buy a unit by itself. If u buy those GPS phones, they actually charge u like using the internet/wap on ur phone. It's not so costly, but it'll cost.. aight

broi share with u my experince....

when i juz pass my 2b i have know nothing bout route in singapore but after some times that i lost my ways and manage to get the right route myself i discover that losing the way u will soon master the road of SINGAPORE.....

well my aunt and my younger brother did as wat i told them and now they even can tell me the short cut that i have never cross before......

 

but pls bring extra money in your pocket cause this aint water that u pump into ur tank......

 

good luck

[Firhas Bizar]

yes extra money in your pocket AND extra fuel in your box jus in case u get lost in the middle of nowhere...
