QUOTE(Pennywise @ Jun 7 2007, 01:58 PM) Hi guys, I actually wanna get a GPS unit to be placed in my car. I do not want just a receiver but the whole unit gps and viewer. If I were to compare Holux and Garmin, it will be like Intel vs AMD or ATI vs Nvidia. Which model should I be looking at and which store around klang valley carries the most model for comparison? I dont know whats my budget but of course try not to be too expensive and maps. Should I worry about maps? You can try garmin nuvi series. Depending on your budget you can try nuvi 200, 300 or 600 series. Here's a comparison from garmin website: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?cID=...areProduct=6292

Anyway, is there any other local site that can provide us the price tags for these items? How bout some Holux options?

At Ebay you can get it around RM1400.00, but a bit risky. For other BT GPS you can search it at lelong.com. A bit fair price and sometime expensive then buying it from shop.

Total newbie here, even after reading all of that <.<
I'm looking for a simply way to use GPS, which I understand concerns a PDA and also a GPS receiver, correct?
Thus, which PDA you think I should get and which receiver? I use it to go mainly around town areas since I travel alot at times.

HP6515 is using globalocate chipset which required frequent AGPS update atleast 2 days once to 7 days once. So probably u hv not update the latest AGPS via internet/GPRS/Edge yet...  ..Juct click on the greyish globe icon on the bottom right & click update. Once updated the globe will turned blue. Subsequently u need to get satelite fix by going outside open space free from highrises & trees...Waiting time can be as long as 3-5min for intial cold start... but after this it will be very fast..i.e probably 10-20S...
