Hi ttwangsa,

Wow...172.12 is really cheap!
I bought mine from bestbuy.com and shipped via this service vshub.com.
Most US sites don't ship overseas and I can't buy from them because they require a valid US address, bestbuy.com is one of them. I tried Amazon before but after I reach the Ship & Payment page, I can't proceed further because they can't ship to my address in Melaka. Not sure where I done wrongly with Amazon.

But the shipping cost of 7.99+ 1.99/ lb is not cheap as well because the 205w is about 3 lbs because they count volume weight. Probably u have to pay about USD 15 for shipping. Then the customs site we probably need to drive up KLIA to clear the items.

That's the problem I faced until my friend has been telling me of the service call vshub. I registered with them and I get an US address. I waited and consolidate all my sister and brother purchased items and we shipped back all at once. Cheap that way + being in Melaka we dun have to go and clear customs to receive our stuff. They deliver to our house.

So I think u can try vshub.com...

Added on December 8, 2008, 5:33 pmI'm a new to GPS as well but if I'm able to get the 205w worked, then I think anyone can too. smile.gif It's a basic entry level line. Useful when I go KL and Singapore. I always got lost there.

That was the same problem when I want to buy something from Amazon, they can't sent item to Malaysia but they have no problem shipping item to Singapore. Don't know why...

Personally for me I will buy from Amazon and use vshub to ship my items back. Let me know if you find something cheaper in the U.S. compared to KL price, coz' Mlk all things are more expensive. Now with the US address, I gonna shop online rather than pay extra in Mlk.

halo guys!!! It takes 1.5 full days for me to read all these 50 pages of this topic.. sweat.gif
I'm a newbie in gps and is planning to buy a gps called 'GPS BAY 3303' with RM399 as citibank is having a promotion. (http://www.gpsbay.com/index.php?mid=603&p=products-item&id=728).
Anyone tried this gps can share their experience?

I have few questions need to ask all the expert hope you are able to help:

1. My lovely myvi is tinted but not V-Cool. So is there any differences in terms of the satellite signal reception between out side a car and inside the car (edge of the windshield)? Just want to know will the windshield block some signal.... tongue.gif

2. Can an external antena boost the satellite reception or it just an extension which the power of reception is same with the build in antena?

3. Is there any reception differences if I place my gps unit to the edge of windshield (without using external antena), and if I place the external antena to the edge of the windshield and connect it to my gps unit inside my car? I ask because I don't 1 to put my gsp unit to the edge of the windshield as it will 'hurt' under direct sunlight (even just few minutes drive) and by putting the external antena outside the car might attract ppl to steal it or break the antena. What do you think? hmm.gif

4. Will the vibration from car hurt the gps unit ah?  tongue.gif

5. I remember JPJ doesn't allow ppl to put LCD screen in front of front passenger/driver, will the police block us if he saw the gps unit and take advantage to saman us? i think in malaysia it possible?...  whistling.gif

6. Saw many ppl talk about the mapking and malsingmap maps. Can we have a conclusion which 1 is the best? in term of? why?

Thank you guys in advance..... heehee... this forum rock!! it's a 'gps' for questions and answer... heehee... rclxms.gif

If you are using Mapking base navigation software, you need to have map license in order to use their map or map from other provider eg. malsingmaps.com. Because your unit been purchased in Malaysia, map license for malaysia already been included for you but if you wanna use Singapore maps, you need to buy map license for Sinagapore. Better go back to your dealer and ask them...

For TomTom GPS device, I'm afraid you will not get a very details maps for Malaysia like Mapking or Garmin. But if you already have both map, you can use it together.

Garmin GPS was the the best device if you wanna use map from malsingmaps.com. Any model can do the job... tongue.gif

Yes, it activated the A-GPS feature of that phone and you need to pay for data transfer if you are not data unlimited user... And if you are using or have ehem software, please don't mention about it, keep it for yourself only...
