There is no such mapping communities in Taiwan...However you can buy the NT Taiwan city navigator by Garmin. Otherwise, if u have Winmo/android.symbian, probably u can buy papago software loaded wth taiwan maps there..~RM100 which I think cheaper than Garmin Taiwan City navigator

I saw the 5" Papago R5800 demo at PC fair recently. It has all the features like 3D, Junction View, etc similar to that of the Garmin high end model but at a lower price of RM899 only with 5 Asean country maps and carrying case thrown in.

Yeah that papago using the combined malfreemaps & navigasi.net from indonesia (Also another superb large mapping communities like M'sia)
However in Taiwan, there is no such free mapping communities and thus all the GPS maps are by commercial entities..U need to buy both the hardware/software + thye maps...In mal;aysia, u only buy the hardware/software & the maps are 100% free. |
