There is another one I saw inside the Curve IT centre (end of an alley at the back of the shop selling PDA)..not really specialised in GPSr bcos selling those Linkys / Belkins routers..but saw few units of GPSr available inside the shop..u can try asking duh..but reference is always to the Seremban's shop...

Icic, but its a bit on the "far" side though... I guess the best for a wider range is in LYP or Imbi ya? But how about the shops in the IT @ Sg. Wang?

Not so sure whether ther is any in Sg Wang...btw what kind of GPSr u r looking for? judging from your Palm model chances is it might not run the free Garmin Que or even Mapking.& u r not interested in the PPC cum BT GPSr.....so if my instinct is correct u r looking for a totally standalone handheld GPSr such as Garmin 60Csx or 76Csx?

Just a note if u r interested on the standalone offroad GPSr,,, This is a durable waterproof unit, very accurate signal acquisition and batt last very long....However the screen size is smaller than even the smaller PDA, U can only view in 2D & no way of using Mapking 3D version. It is suitable for hardcore trackers/ mappers, offroad tracking, jungle, fishing & etc.

For normal car navigation, it is a littlebit small...so check on what u want to do wth ur GPS....

Which GPS software is better for road navigation in Malaysia?

As mentioned earlier the best so far are those able to run the free Malsingmaps which r updated monthly. And this free maps can only be runed (currently) using the following software:

1) Garmin (For standalone GPSr) + Garmin car navigation h/ware such as Nuvi & Streetpilot
2) Garmin Que + GPS proxy/Gate (For all PPC wth WMS2003/2005 & certain Palm)
3) Mapking G10.2 (1115) - (The maps will not work on V7 & R12)
4) Symbian phone such as N70 or higher but no auto routing - Someone hv just converted whole malsinmaps to symbian format recently )

So for car navigation get those PPC wth atleast 320X240 screen and able to view horizontal....such as HP5770....or if u r loaded get those Nuvi & streetpilots which is atleast RM3K++

I'm now using PDA without GPS and my GPS unit that I ordered will arrive tomorrow. Just to prepare my PDA with the right software.

One more thing, which software give like 3D look navigation?

For 3D definitely Mapking G10.2 ....but this is not a free software. U need to buy the license to enable viewing of the free maps from malsingmaps..For free software download Garmin Que & GPS Proxy (But it will be a very lenghty & frustrating setup for 1st timer....I got my Garmin & GPS proxy running correctly after 3 failed attempts...the worst diff GPSr & diff PDA model having diff com ports settings...

Icic... I will still go to those GPS-specialist shops to see whether they can recommend any good stand-alone product or if available, an add-on product to my Zire for enabling GPS connectivity (my preferred choice)...

stand alone product cost a few K wor....and people wait steal lol, cuz u fix to the car, dangerous lor

Wah, it is something like a SmartTag then? Has to be affixed to the car? Like dat the best is still a device that can connect to the handheld and provide GPS...

Here's a local seller that carry garmin product, it will give you a general idea of
the pricing and type of gpsr available:
http://www.sltsb.com/products.htm

If I buy that software (Mapking). Can it be use with PDA + BT GPS device? or It special for PDA with built-in GPS chip? ANybody ever use it? Advice please...

Wow, they have an impressive array of products... Seems like most of the GPS devices are on sale at the above-1k price range though...

No problem can use pda+bt gpsr for mapking. Download the trial of mapking and test it out from their website. Trial is for 3 days.

Hiyah..that link given by Easyrider is the benchmark shop from Seremban-lah..I tot u been refering to the red link given earlier?

Yes they carried all the known Garmin GPSr, Garmin Car navigation system, offroad GPSr, Marine/air navigator....however they only carry one type of hi-end bluetooth GPSr ie Mobile 10X

Just to summarised the almost extensive product available from the link by easyrider:

1) Automotive - Those are for car navigation only wth 3D capabilities but u cannot collect tracks records esp those NUVI models (Not the smartag thingy as discussed- u can detach those)
2) Handheld & marine - These are the most talked about Garmin products in Malsing esp 60Csx & 76Csx - for off-road wth very high accuracy & very good for tracking/mapping -
3) Mobile - Unfortunately the shop only carry 1 brand i.e the hi-end 10X...This is the BT GPSr for those PDA & PALM (Was told works well wth T3) which does not comes wth GPS

However this shop dun hv those All in one/ semi-in-on type of GPSr such as HP6965/DopodP800W/AsusP525 and etc.....

Just to add..Dun think Mapking support Palm! Their website only mentioned about PPC version, PC version & Smartphone Version (V7 only)...nothing mentioned about Palm ????

One more thing if you want to use mapking with malsingmap remember that malsingmaps only works with G10 version of mapking.

definitely can, no problem.

Just received my BT GPS today, very excited. after complete setup the device I connect it and start using it with garmin que. the problem now the signal from virtual pot always lost and it keep searching, find and lost again. why it happen?

Aiyo, that bad ah... Like dat, this means its more likely that my Z72s will have to be a non-GPS handheld for now!
