Hello and nice to see such vibrant website I must say!

Just to update you on some things I have read here. One of my friends showed me his Garmin GPS and when he pulled out his Nuvi 1350 from the pouch fell a receipt. It was the receipt for the money he paid to update his maps from one of the shops in Low Yat (I will not mention which one). My friend did his update in February , but his map was a much earlier map of MY and SG of 2010. I have the certitude that the shop did not update for him and just simply charged him.  doh.gif
There is another answer for that. I think some of these shop are 'also don't know' type. Last year someone gave him the map and he doesn't know how to get newer map themselves or didn't even know newer ones exist. So as far as they are concern, what they have is the latest according to them.

do you have a smart phone? cause i think somehow waze apps is doing better than my garmin GPS. my garmin took me to toll plaza where there's an alternative and shorter path to my destination.

waze also have another pro which is determining the traffic condition and learns to alter your route with less traffic in shorter time. best of all, the app is FREE!

I am pretty sure it's your setting. With most GPS navigation software, you can set:
1. Shorter route. Short cut, back lane etc
2. Faster route. Highway. Or avoid toll etc
