    I saw this ad re Garmin Nuvi GPS. Anyone tried it? Also I think the price is reasonable at P7999 for an updated map. I heard that Free Maps are not updated and may cause trouble in navigation. Please advise. Thanks.

    The guy did not say it's an updated map. I'm sure it's loaded with the same free map from roadguide.ph or from OSM.

    That is quite an old entry model from Garmin, but it will still satisfy your navigation needs if you're on a budget.

    What's updated though is the Garmin sofware which means he already opened the box and connected the GPS to a PC.

    The guy said the map is updated, Apr 2010 version, and not the Free map. He said the updated map is far better than the Free map (which according to him doesn't even include the elevated u-turn in c-5 and the c-5 extension). He also said higher models have features which are not applicable here like Traffic monitor and Lane Assist (i don't know what are these)

    Anyway, i'll think about it yet.

    Thanks for the advise.

    Bro, i suggest you update the Garmin software via Garmin Webupdater, the latest version is 6.60. You can verify your software version in Tools-Settings-About.

    sorry OT alert

    I respect your opinion (im a bargain hunter myself) but we have to consider that a shop will offer items which will definitely cost more than freelance sellers because shops have rent and employees to pay.

    for a busy individual, it's more convenient to go to a shop and buy an item on the spot rather than contacting an online seller, meeting the seller or making a bank deposit.

    Sir, check lang sa ebay, mine was brought for only 6500.00( garmin 205W) loaded with free map from roadguide.ph then I replaced it with the April 2010 updated map, So far accurate naman up to here in Bicol, unlike the free map, lumabas ka lang sa SLEX or NLEX wala na.

    In fairness sa Autobisyo, they sell quality products.. kasi yun April 2010 updated map eh may premium price yun.

    Dito sa atin sa Pinas, we dont need those higher model, All the extra features are useless here. (traffic advisories, traffic flows, weather forecast,etc..)

    Inaccurate in a sense na kulang-kulang yung mga streets at hindi updated (wala pa ata dito yung elevated u-turn slot sa c5-kalayaan, wala pa dito yung Mnidanao ave exit sa NLEX, etc.). Pero not true na hanggang metro manila lang ito, map is nationwide.

    Maganda bumili ngayon kasi price of gps have gone down to P6000+ na lang (Garmin Nuvi GPS)

    I loaded roadguide version 1.07 and when I passed the Fort, it was asking me to take a U turn in a no U-turn slot. Pinoy nga ang gumawa nito.

    It was also asking me to turn left on Lawton street, the road in the corner of the Lexus dealership that connects to Kalayaan ave., but it was still closed.

    I took a right in a relatively new road across Serendra and the map got confused until I took a left going to Market Market. Now it gave me an idea what to contribute to roadguides.

    As for the Elevated U-turn, it did recognize the u-turn and asked me to go on it. So that is at least updated.
