Only USA got gps lah. 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.

i think shud say the SATTELITES belong to US. But the connection itself is currently free to use worldwide. right?

I'm personally not sure about Garmin, how good the maps are overseas etc etc.

But the more famous softwares overseas are Tom Tom navigator, and Mapking. (or Kingmap some call it)

u gotta pay for the software, and maps are downloadable online.

U can use either those two or Garmin with your planned combo above.

does that mean garmin can now be used on d810? previously had a lot of problems with com port using the garmin method on d810. now can use? i feel mapking more coverage than our garmin version (like ulu places our mapking got the roads, while garmin version dun have!, maybe they edited from the official mapking maps), BUT garmin maps are so much easier to see. and the voice navigation is better as well. so how? if i can get it working on my d810 i'll be a happy man
