BTW, is this your PSP? We have the same color, champagne gold

It's my son's PSP, which is in silver. Hanggang hiram lang ako.

hi! there is GPS car navigation supplier here for Garmin (check their site). I got my Garmin Nuvi 200 (from Taiwan, about PHP 8,500) and upload with non-commercial PH GPS map from waypointdotph for free and its working fine. There are POIs to search as well as route calculation with voice prompt!!

If your device is a smartphone or PDA, you can ditch the Tomtom Navigator software and install Garmin Mobile XT instead and the freewebs Philippine map. But if you're using a standalone unit like the Tomtom One or Go, you might be out of luck.

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.

also, yung maps ba, pwede mag input ng intersection, say katipunan/aurora blvd., tapos route ka na niya dun?

Yes, you can do that (at least on the Garmin Mobile XT).

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...

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.

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.

i guess i'll need to find a garmin nuvi soon.. any model you recommend?

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.
