QUOTE(kerazul @ Oct 21 2007, 10:17 AM) No no no... I didn't mean that the POI's were incomplete. But I used it mostly to find petrol stations. All the makan places, my gf knows by heart ady wan. How to tell if ur a gadget freak? Ur gf complains that she should be ur one and only GPS. mine really does.  Hahaha, u are exactly the opposite of me... My gf depends on me as a GPS when we're traveling, whether overseas or domestic!  Which is why i want to get that GPS, as it's far more dependable than ol' me... And yeah, it'll definitely be an excellent help in locating gasoline stations or even R&R areas (for toilet mah!  )...

Hi Deani_77, First u have to say the "CORRECT ANSWER" although it may not be the "REAL ANSWER". It all works the same; whether the question is whether she looks fat, whether her dress looks nice... just say the correct answer first. Then when she's satisfied and not looking, gently pat ur Nuvi/Holux/PDA and say in ur mind "there there... I know u know enough ok..."  The perils of gf fighting for attention with ur gadgets is VERY REAL. Haha... Hi THTUG, I'm a real direction blind guy. So bad until my gf can navigate better than me.  Hi dillydally, Buy a Nuvi, wrap it in plastic and sign up for the most expensive motor insurance u can get ur hands on. Gao tim... This post has been edited by kerazul: Oct 22 2007, 02:00 PM

The only thing nuvi series was not water resistant. You will need a problem when using that unit when rainy days.

For waterproof GPS system go for Garmin60csx or 76csx or zumo...see the setup by members of malsingmaps (Need to register to see the picture): http://www.malsingmaps.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=824

QUOTE(stimix @ Oct 18 2007, 02:47 PM) There are 2 types of popular dedicated GPS hardware..i.e Garmin Nuvi - superior for road navigation & Garmin 60Csx or 76Csx. The nuvi cannot record any tracklog & thus u might feel dissapointed if u want to contribute areas that are still not in the existing maps (malsingmaps). 60csx until Today is still the best interm of tracklog recording (Damn good!)...The trade-off on the 2 dedicated systems are those hybrid PDA types such as Garmin Que & Mapkings nuvi 200 now can!  with firmware update 3.4. Yet to try it cos afraid my maps n poi's gets wiped out. Will be passing it to my reseller fren to update.

Agreed with bro Stimix some more for that unit (60series, 76 series, etrex series) there is ready bike mounted, so no need to fabricate yourself.

Cool, then i guess the Nuvi 200 is the best one for an entry-level beginner like myself then... Since its the most affordable and (hopefully) easiest to use...

Susah... Mana ada susah... Senang je... It much cheaper for you to contribute rather than buying original map from Garmin.
