even at $100, it is very good price for its funtionality. good for tracking kids in a big shopping mall.
of course there some better sets but cost slightly higher.
Guys! I got a set from the BMW.SG group buy at S$90. If interested, I can check to see if they are still available at that price. Do let me know

Part of the problem is the resolution is not so good. I can tune mine to show the stuff properly but then the text on the text entry is small. If I blow that up, then all my menu are not scaled properly such that they go out of the screen and I can't access part of them. Well, that's on Windows & nRoute rather than Mac.

yes i have mac mini but my holux slim gps236 sucks..suppose to have the latest sirf chip reciever but it takes ages to locate position am not sure if its my gps unit faulty or my pc.

i also cant get the garmin n route to work on it cos too much software tweaking ..complicated fot me.

ya also the font on idrive sucks with mac mini.

am considering the touch screen lmk have insatlled.





am thinking might as well get a gps software all in one.


does any one have any better option.


mr lmk hows the touch screen going any pointers

Do you have tinting? I have vkool klar for the front windscreen, and there is no problem. If you have very dark tint, then you will need external antenna.

i got no tinting on my ride it is still stock.i wonder if its my unit faulty.even when at home high rise window open it takes 5-10mins to postion.......or it could be my connection with pc?????hmmmmm


kind of regret getting the mac mini.....have blown the mother board.the biggest dislike is that the idrive screen is dam too small for any font.i only use it for music now.maybe i need more time to play with and familarise.


lmk i heard nuvi360 not in sg yet..and even if order from USA wonder the malsing maps identical or not from garmin sing-mal..most likely not right.
