U be lucky if u can find one...price from RM390>...however the CF tech might be outdated wth very old chipset which is not strong enuf...should go for BT Sirf 111 chipset....

So far the cheapest Garmin GPS10X is from the Seremban shop i.e at RM750. Garmin 10 I think no longer available probably u can post a WTB in the trading section...currently there is one Singaporean offering a T3+GPS10 for S$450......

They allow us (and all other countries) to use their crippled system for free at the moment. Now waiting for the new European GPS Galileo to be available (targeted to launch 30 satellites by 2010, so far 1 is in orbit).......but don't know whether they will give free access too. added after some more googling  : yes, it will be free, too and seems likely it will be compatible with existing receivers.

But the connection itself is currently free to use worldwide. right?

QUOTE(stimix @ Jan 22 2007, 12:32 PM) Sorry guys, I was just splitting hairs as usual. I know normally ppl mean the receiving radio equipment and mapping/routing software when they talk about gps, and not the actual GPS by the U.S. of A. So a bit of confusion. When Galileo is operational sometime next year, we will have to be a bit more careful which GPS we refer to.

I dun think it will affect the accuracy or better accuracy wth more satelites on sky.....infact the most u can received at any point of time is only 9-12 satelites...currently there are about 27 GPS satelites on the sky wth additional 1 u still receive about 9-12 satelites any diff?

but as stated the galileo would enhance the accuracy, rather than now we are having 5metres + or - accuracy when u are standing.....
