Hi sifus, I'm interested in buying the E7.
How good is the free OVI maps? I frequently drive around Kelana Jaya, PJ, Subang and Damansara. Is the OVI maps suitable for use there?

QUOTE(CELCOM.AXIATA @ Mar 20 2011, 07:11 PM) if u frequently drive arnd those areas, then there is no need for OVI maps..  comparing to other cellphone gps solutions, OVI maps is very good value for the money. considering it is free. but if u are a travelling salesman to all kinds of towns and places, get yourself a dedicated GPS. use OVI maps only in emergency cases.  Perhaps I didn't word it correctly, what I meant was that I frequently go to these places but only if my friends are driving because I don't know my way around those places  Are you saying that the E7 can't replace a standalone GPS? I was hoping that I can kill two birds with one stone and buy one device that combines a GPS and a phone.  How about Garmin? Is the software compatible with the phone? |

QUOTE(andrekua @ Mar 20 2011, 08:24 PM) Well, that really depends on your satisfaction level. Thanks for the explanation! So where can I buy the software? OVI store?Garmin can use MalFreeMap which is updated quite frequently (each week if they are still doing it at the same rate). OVI map is rather outdated but still okay for usage in modern cities. Navigation wise, I would again rate Garmin better as more detailed map allows you to avoid traffic easier by driving through housing estate for example.
