You can try Robinhood in Kwun Tong, I have my M Kit for around 18000 incl installation (excluding trunk top spoiler), very good paint job and installation + workshop is large and clean compare to others. Although I am a very picky person, I would rate its paint job V good.

Is useless to have one in HK since roads are changing all the time.

Just come out for a meet next time and we will show you what it's all about outside central.

I think Map King is a software that works on a Palm OS/Windows Mobile together with a GPS receiver.

Mapking G10 has been out for awhile and I am using it, quite nice to see you moving on the GPS map but I must say it's useless in a small place such as HK! I just using a BT GPS device pair with my 838pro and working well.

BTW, I love Singapore! I been working there for 1/2 year, very nice place compare with HK!
