JohnnyD: You mentioned on other forum that you have the ability to conduct real-time GPS reading (that's my understanding). Remember the laguna lake tour. I have also visited waypoints.ph and it gives the gps reading of most destination.

I just found out na sa Handango ay mayroon ng GPS software for smart phone like SE P910i which I happen to have bought a month ago. At ang good news is may map sila ng buong south east asia including Philippines.

So anyone interested check it out in www.handango.com

Mga Bro's

Kung may PDA kayo or smart phone you can use Vito smart map from www.handango.com.
They also have maps of south east asian countries including Pinas.
But you need to have Bluetooh GPS to work with your PDA or phone since walang built in GPS ang mga phone and most PDA's.

gps units can record coordinates, so as you go along a route you create wayoints. this is a basic feature of gps units. at the return leg, you can reverse the sequence of your recorded waypoints w/ the last wp as the first target. when you reached the first wp within 50m (depends on setting) the next wp is displayed & so on & so forth. tried using gps in a jet, ok naman. it still gives heading, speed, gps coordinates. sayang lang we don't have detailed maps of philippine cities kaya automated navigation is no use here.

you can visit waypoints.ph if you want to get gps coodinates of tourist spots, places of interest, etc. here in the philippines. the wapoints are by no means complete & the website accepts waypoint contris. check it out.

please correct me if i am wrong, but you still need a gps receiver with bluetooth & this gadget does not have an lcd screen (am i right?) because you will be using the screen of your laptop/pda or your smartphone. the prices of bluetooth receivers i saw ranged from $200 to $900. bulky pa because you will be bringing 2 pieces of equipment. better get a regular gps and we still don't have the detailed city maps of the philippines not like in the us & europe. maybe meron na nga but it is for commercial use & is expensive.

you can also use it with your PDA, laptop desktop or smartphone.
