Kung merong hindi tama, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE to contribute and get the contributors version!

bale compared sa old map eh simple yung old map then naging detailed masyado yung new map. pati "private roads" to "dead ends" nasama kahit ilang metro lang eh nakalagay. ang pinaka ayaw ko sa new map eh yung mga ilog. parang daan sa gps ang image. parehas tuloy pag malayo pa lang sa lugar eh akala mo intersection yon pala ilog. is there a way to resolved this????

Screenshot, please? Try HBT's TYP ( http://www.roadguide.ph/forums/showt...8530#post48530 ) and see if the map improves on your unit.

Hello sir/madam,
New user here. anyway just want to know if my Garmin Streepilot that i'm using in the US works here in PH? I'm planning to removed the 2010 North America Maps that is currently loaded in my GPS? Kindly guide us what to do? Is the MapInstall software that comes from Garmin is use to load the PH map?

Thanks in advance.

it will work here sir... you can install a PH map naman even without removing the US map that came with your unit... you need to download Mapsource to be able to transfer the PH map to your Streetpilot.

Thanks Liv for the reply. Just want to know which of the two source of the maps is better, from roadguide or from osmphil? Are these two source the same? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense.... but willing to learn from this forum...

thanks in advance....

For Garmin units, the NorthAmerica map is the base map. You should not remove it. The Philippine map (for example) is a supplementary map, which you can install using the MapSource software. If you need another supplementary map (Korea for example), you will need to install this in an SD card under a Garmin directory.

Where and how did you order it?

Did you ship it directly to your address here in the Philippines?

How much did you pay for the shipping cost? tax? et al?

I usually ship my stuffs to my friend's place in the US. And, when I go there for business trips, I pick them up and bring them back here....

A friend in the US ordered it from eBay and I had him ship it over here. Shipping took 30 days. All in all, I paid roughly 14.5k.

This module is being sold here at twice that amount.

Try them both. There are some areas where one is better than the other. Although right now, OSM's search functions are limited. But you have to have the RG contributors' map to have search capabilities, so if you're comparing RG demo map to OSM's, the playing field is level. Magkakatalo na lang sa POI's at daan.

Thanks bro.

I also buy my electronics stuff in the US (camera, laptop, netbook, gps, watches, frs, i-devices, pda) and some food, health and apparel items too, as they're cheaper compared here. Typically by 50%.......

[SIZE=2]For Electronic Gadgets, I would recommend my "Big Three": Ebay Philippines (ebay.ph), Tipid PC (www.tipidpc.com) and Sulit.com (www.sulit.com.ph). These are local sellers, and their prices do tend to be more expensive than buying it abroad. However, if you factor in shipping costs, and the fact that units do get hijacked at Customs sometimes, it may be better to buy them locally. [/SIZE]

sirs, need help sana. i have transferred the 1.07 version map from roadguideph to my garmin nuvi 255w. okay naman po ang transfer using mapsource (successful) and upon checking, the map is in my nuvi na with the file name gmapsupp.img. pero bakit po kaya i still keep getting this message on my nuvi - "can't unlock maps". any help po sana in fixing this, thanks a lot.

**pastelrei** · March 4th, 2011 10:11 PM

ok na sirs

I don't know why, but I just tried sending it again to my garmin and the map's finally there (this after registering my device to garmin's website).

**CVT** · March 5th, 2011 10:29 PM

Transferring through mapsource would normally give you that message "can't unlock maps"...

Treat your GPS unit as a normal flash drive and copy gmasupp.img to its Garmin directory and with that the map would become visible in your GPS unit. You may want to rename first your original gmasupp.img just as a safety net...

*CVT: that's what i failed to do, make a back-up of the original gmapsupp.img. bye bye to that, i guess

**CVT** · March 6th, 2011 05:35 PM

For as long as you have latest and greatest map version and you're satisfied with it,- then it really doesn't matter, bro.
