Last nite, I tried donwload the latest version of software for my Garmin C320 thru Garmin product Webupdater. Guess what? Now my time zones selection have only all the US cities!! hehehe...

Is there a selection to choose your time zone while updating? i thought you can select Singapore?
Hmmm, did not notice that time on my GPSr. But since the Garmin knows my location, it should know my time zone, why do we need to set?

if you order, use the link i post, the price is too low to believe.
but we can try our luck first.
even if we order the USA map seperately, it is still worth the price.


so its the 360 from the uk site right, not the 310 ?cos the sing hk site dont carry 360 only 310



lmk u ordered 310 or 360 ?????

and since map is specific to model does that mean there are no garmin maps for this 360 since it is not selling in singapore yet unless you download the free one.

amenthyst525 did you manage to buy garmin map for sing/mal 360 or did you load in the free one from the web.

Nuvi 310 does not have "turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names". Compare the descriptions for http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi360/ and
http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi310/, albeit a small differentiator to those less particular ones
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?s=&showtop...ndpost&p=289069

according to the new software update, TTS is inlcuded. We can only confirm until we got our sets.

For C320, during setup, we need to select a city with the same time zone as Singapore in order to syn with our time.
This is because for the C320, I have automatic set my color screen to switch to Night mode after 7p.m. Of course, this can also be done manually.

Now I remember from Mr Yan - PW told me that when the Sing/Mal maps is available for update, we need to bring the Garmin unit physically to the agent for update. I think the SD are coded and cannot be transfer.

As long as you use Garmin map (have to purchase) all maps can be used.
it does not matter whether 360 or 310, Garmin can be used. you can buy from the website i listed.

Am525 mentioned that he uses malsingmaps downloaded free.

precisely, there is a code on the software to be sent to Garmin for registration. and a registration code will be sent to you for activation.
once the code is entered, the software only recognise the set in order to use the map.
of course there are cracks available in the internet.

No worries - the Garmin website does indicate the Garmin Sing/mal map is compatible with Nuvi. Go to http://www.garmin.com/cartography/#
Click on "Which mapping works with which GPS units?"
