Software and MapsGarmin is NOT free but many people use pirated version just like pirated Microsoft Office. That is why they called it "free" when legally, it is not free.
But Garmin can read some of the most popular map of Malaysia that comes free. And this free Malaysia map is very up to date.
But if you wanted map of Japan/USA/UK/Assuie and everywhere else in the world, you have to pay. For USA, it is about >USD100. Later on you wanted an updated USA map, you have to pay again. If you want Australia map, you have to pay again etc etc.
Now for certain Nokia model, everything is free for life. You can all the maps of the entire world and update it as many time as you wanted to. Plus free voice navigation for life as well. Downside is, their map for Malaysia is not very up to date. And AFAIK, Nokia can not read the free Malaysia map.
Telco chargesIf you use Assisted GPS, does not matter what software you use Garmin or Nokia, both have to pay.
If you do not use Assisted GPS and only Integrated GPS, you pay nothing to these telco company.
Very well explained....
