I just took the map from the link posted in this thread and used Mapsource to load into the Garmin GPS.
This is the link. Download the 5.00 Beta version. It includes Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and Palawan/Tawi-tawi Area.

May available na bang Garmin nuvi jan sa Pinas? How much? Kapag mas mura di na ako bibili dito. Thanks.
If you know someone willing to buy for you and you're not picky, there are refurbished Nuvi 200's on ebay-US for $135.

siacojin - Here's another one for the PSP ... Go! Explore. The 3D graphics is not as good as the Korean iNavi, but at least it has maps beside Korea. On the map viewer's screen is Big Ben. No PSP-290, so not much data is displayed.
Sir baka puede i send some pictures, at medyo interesado ako diyan. paano nga pala i set up iyan i sasalpak na lng ba iyan kapag bili ko sa iyo??? meron bng LCD yan?? you can e-mail some pictures on this e-mail add betkap_cabalen*yahoo.com or soyo_operation*luanda.deepwater.com or send to both add please.
hello GPS users
I'm using a GPS Nuvi200, that I purchased from Taipei (made in Taiwan for about PHP 8,500) with preloaded Taiwan map. I managed to get a non-commercial Ph Map for free (www.waypoints.com) and works fine.
What I enjoy most is the routing calculation with voice prompt...superb!
I will post some pic in the future for your appreciation! or probably a routing clip.![]()
It's my son's PSP, which is in silver. Hanggang hiram lang ako.

hi, tomtom gamit ko dito sa UK, balak ko iuwi diyan sa atin sa pinas, may pwede ba iload na map dito ng manila man lang? SD card din kasi gamit.. how do i work it?
yup, it's a stand alone tomtom 510...
so the software/maps that you guys are using are just for garmin nuvi navigators??? di ba pwede sa ibang gps navigator units other than garmin nuvi??? hmmm...
i may have to find a garmin to bring home then...
also, yung maps ba, pwede mag input ng intersection, say katipunan/aurora blvd., tapos route ka na niya dun?
lalagay kasi sana sa isang emergency vehicle yung navigator para mas madaling mapuntahan yung lugar ng responde...

akala ko kasi since may sd card slot for maps, pwede download ko lang yung map sa sd card then kabit ko sa tomtom unit ko...
thanks for the info sir.. i guess i'll need to find a garmin nuvi soon.. any model you recommend?
I think the people that gave us the freewebs Philippine map are working on it so we can use it on other devices. AFAIK for now, it only works on a Garmin and on mobile devices (mobile phones/PDA's) running Garmin Mobile. You can visit the Garmin website for device compatibility.Originally Posted by CaMoTe!!!
Yes, you can do that (at least on the Garmin Mobile XT).also, yung maps ba, pwede mag input ng intersection, say katipunan/aurora blvd., tapos route ka na niya dun?
Pwede naman ... but you're going to need an unlock key to use it. The last time I checked the Tomtom site for a map, you can do everything online - download it, pay for it and get the activation key to unlock it. Even then, some maps were sold pre-installed on cards.akala ko kasi since may sd card slot for maps, pwede download ko lang yung map sa sd card then kabit ko sa tomtom unit ko...
The freewebs Philippine map is not from Garmin but DIY'ed. The people who made it decided to give it for free, so you don't need to unlock when you install it on your SD card.
Any Nuvi would do fine. It's just a matter of how much you're willing to spend on bells and whistles ... just remember that the novelty wears off quite quick. I'd rather get the one with the biggest screen that I can afford.i guess i'll need to find a garmin nuvi soon.. any model you recommend?
big help boss...
thanks so much...
i'm looking at the nuvi 760 now... 9k lang sa ebay uk... :D
