Garmin is definitely a world leader in navigation systems. And you'll be surprised to know that the best Philippine gps map today is Garmin compatible...courtesy of roadguide.ph....http://roadguide.ph/

+1.. Roadguide.ph map... the best Philippine map there is.

[woohoo]

Roadguide.ph Philippines Map is great, it has lots of POI's, but it still has no SEARCH Capability, AFAIK.

OSM Philippines Map now has preliminary Search Capability, *but* in my experience, searching only works in mapsource. I dunno about other GPS units, but searching on this OSM map (Oct. 2009 pre-release version) doesn't work on my Nuvi 255W.

Great to see roadguide's map has roads in Floridablanca, whereas OSM only has the National Road mapped in that portion.

[oj88]

^ No search capability? What do you mean? I can search any street, city, town, or POI.

[woohoo]

You are very funny. Obviously you don't have the contributor's map of roadguide.ph. How dare you say it is doesn't have search capability when in fact it has the feature ever since it was created. Please don't post misleading information when you don't have the full knowledge of what you're talking about.

And while you're at it, would you care to download the 1.09 demo map and compare it with your OSM map. You'll be surprised to see that it's not only in Pampanga that roadguide.ph's map has more details. And that is a fact. Accurate as it can be.

I did. I used Mapsource to Find Places, but the menu item is disabled/dimmed. Doesn't that mean that the demo map doesn't have Address Search capability? Isn't the demo map used to create the required gmapsupp.img to be used on GPS units with Unlock Code? Or does jan send each contributor a personalized gmapsupp.img?

^ No search capability? What do you mean? I can search any street, city, town, or POI.

That's great! Both on Mapsource and on your Nuvi? I can't even use Find Places in Mapsource on the 1.09 demo map. I wonder why? Do I need to uninstall the previous version? My roadguide gmapsupp.img is 31,260,672 bytes in size. How about yours?

I tried POI searching, and yes, it works on the Nuvi. But using Address Search on my Nuvi 255W, I can't find any street! How do you do it on your Nuvi? This is how I do it:

Where to? -> Address -> (Select City in: ) Seach All ->

<Enter House Number> (I just press Done, or I erase the prompt and press DONE ->

<Enter Street> (I type the street name, like Mayon, EDSA, Rizal, [I've tried HUNDREDS!] etc.) ->

(Select Street screen) NO MATCHES FOUND. :cry:

But when I go this route, I get several results searching for "QUEZON" :

Where to? -> Cities -> Spell -> Quezon.

Searching for "Makati" however, didn't yield any results.

Please help! TIA!

Oh, btw, My Nuvi 255W: Audio Version: 1.00, GPS SW Version: 3.10b, Software Version 5.10

Does the map allow you to search exact addresses just like TomTom and iGO in the States? I too am looking for a nice GPS unit to use here in the Philippines.

That's what "AFAIK" was for. No need to state your request because "AFAIK" was an invitation for corrections if needed.

Not in all areas. Roadguide still has no roads to the west of Lazatin Blvd. in San Fernando, Pampanga, in the area of St. Jude Village, while OSM has complete roads in that portion. See for yourself, it's the area surrounding coordinates N15.04130 E120.66878.

Also, OSM has more named roads in Pampanga, while Roadguide has very minimal names encoded.

(First off, I don't mean to offend, I'm just pointing this out )

I compared OSM's Nov. 2009 release against Roadguide's 1.09 Demo map.

In the Angeles City area, the 2 maps are neck and neck. There are some parts of the city that are in one map and not in the other.

In Floridablanca/Porac area and Guagua/Macabebe, Roadguide is ahead, but only by little, since the roads aren't as dense as the other parts.

In San Fernando area to Candaba area, OSM is waay ahead, not only in terms of the number of roads but in road names as well (even when considering only those that are present in OSM).
