Ok guys, field report!
Nuvi works fine with the exception of address search! Tried fooling the device by not truning at the correct junction and it recalculates new route fast. Also tried the Blue-tooth function and I must say it is good too. When calling or receiving calls, there is minimal disruption to the original GPS function. What's more, you can view your phone book on the device which makes calling a breeze (by the way, I am using a V3, not too sure about other phones).
TTS is not working on my device; at least it does not say the Road names. It simply says "Turn Left in xxx meters".

Tony... no problems! Now I know why you are tailing me all the time! We are neighbors. Funni thing is, I have never seen you before around the neighborhood. I shall set my Wing Flaps off in search of you...

Believe me, you will find that you seldom have a real chance to make full use of your GPS in Singapore cause you know most of the route you usually take.

Nuvi users for speed traps software sequence:
1. download POI loader http://www.garmin.com/support/downlo...ils.jsp?id=927
2. Download POI by Malsing mappers.
http://www.malsingmaps.com/forum/users/tra...b/SpeedInfo.zip
3. Connect NUvi to computer.
4. In your Nuvi SD card, under Garmin folder, create a new folder "Speedtrap POI"
5. create seperate folders like "speed 80", "speed 110" etc. look into the file and you'll understand what i mean. there are numberous speed traps with different speeds.
4. Run POI loader, select the folder that contains the POI's downloaded.
5. click manual selection and change the distance to say 1200M.
6. load the POI.
7. try it out by simulating near any speed trap loaded, you should see the warning before you arrive and the proximity warning should flash on your Nuvi.
Good Luck!
I will be flying soon and if there are any difficulties, i hope i can help by answering but may not be too prompt.
Also, you maybe able to obtain help from Malsingmaps.com
