Garmin has 2 version of maps, 1, singapore and JB only. 2, Singapore and Malaysia map.
....
Malsingmaps is a different story all together. This is the map that is created by GPS enthusiasts in singapore and malaysia. they update the map frequently and share info to everyone who needs it....
....
Malsingmaps is very updated, like queensway flyover, or underpass, 3 days after the opening, the map is updated. My Mapking has to wait for 3 months!
Garmin updates, i am not sure how long is one update.

I feel that the value of the GPS lies in its quality of maps.

I went to Pin Liang this morning to see its VDO and Vit@s GPS.
The former took 20mins and couldnt get more than 2 satelite locks and the shop said I need to buy my own maps
AFTER buying the VDO... cos it doesn't come with maps??? I said "sure...let me think abt it"... I must be missing something... why would anyone wanna buy this? :'( The demo for the Vit@s was a non-starter. They found it in a backpack... with the 7" TFT wrapped in an old NTUC Fairprice plastic bag (the bag was inside out)! They said the demo means to LOOK at the screen... no trial... so I gave up.
I think if the Garmin doesn't come thru by tmr... I am gonna head down to Sin Ming to get the TiBo...

Guys,
just called Perfect Watch... they say they have the Garmin Nuvi 300 in stock now... selling at $1512 incl GST. The C320 is now at $999 incl GST.
They claimed that the Nuvi 360 is not meant for Singapore.... the package comes with the SG and JP maps...
Is this the Nuvi 300 the must awaited Nuvi? Or is this the earlier version? Comments?

nuvi 300 is the european equivalent to US nuvi 350
Nuvi 310 is the equiv. to Nuvi 360 in USA
the main difference is the bluetooth built in Nuvi 310 and 360
Both models are firmware upgradeable and provide "text to speech""
i.e. turn right 100m ahead into Orchard road.
and not
"turn right 100m ahead at the junction.""

That's good news from many who haven't bought their GPS. Hope you can check out more and share with us.
