i think the idrive controller allows you to change video input, without using the remote control.
curious to see it work.

I was going to Selangor Turf Club and Garmin suggested I exit at Jahir(?) Highway, and the distance to next destination was 175Km. As I travel along the NS, the distance never reduced. All along it was showing the same waypoint, ie. the exit at Jahir

Speed traps....what icons represent the speed traps?

I went to Perfect Watch this afternoon, the Nuvi 300 (350?) looks damned sleek man, the touch screen is very nice, and the sound is polyphonics, unlike my CS60 that beeps like an old GH688. It comes with Europe/UK and Sin/JB maps. I was told we can still use Malsing maps, but they have to be stored in a new memory card. For English you have he option of choosing British or American, but the navigator will not say out the road name leh. Yes, I saw the HDB blocks.

Its about $1.5k after 10 pct discount. You save S$400 if mail order from US, but you get US maps. Are you willing to pay that extra $400 for original Singapore Garmin map and local warranty? If yes please act fast as there are only 2 units left.

Went thru the Garmin Product page and indeed, the Nuvi 300 will not say out the road name. Only the Nuvi 350 has this option. Personally think this is a good thing to have. Btw, is Text-Speech a user enabled function or is it Always ON? Would be good if we are able to turn the Speech on and off. Otherwise, like some bro here said, it can be quite a nuisance.

Btw, anyone of you guys going for today's Kallang GTG? Sky is opening up now at the East!

My 60CS does not come with external memory slot, I will just upload the map direct into the GPSr. Does C320 only accept external power source? We can do a swap if I am travelling up north

it clearly shows that text speech is in nuvi. but i think the latest firmware update allows this in the 300.
Not sure as the update is only available recently.

tategoi,

you may need to re-install the software.

Do you know why BMW decided not to include an open boot button in the car?
