Review for Garmins GPS w/ Philippine Maps

[CVT]

mga bossing, pwede pa po ba magamit ung nuvi 1300 dito sa pinas? sabi kasi sa garmin dealer sa subic obsolete na daw ung model at di na daw pwede madownloadan ng phil map? sayang naman kasi kung di magamit, galing US po sya. help naman po kung pano magdownload ng map kung pwede pa magamit, salamat.

It should work here in our country with the right local map.

If it has an SD slot then, it should be better. You just copy the map in the SD card.

Some proprietary maps are unit-specific though. Meaning it will only work on a specific unit with specific serial number and can not be copy-pasted to another unit even if they are the exact model. I am referring to roadguide's map. There is an alternative, search for OSM-PH map. That one is a legally free downloadable map. Roadguide is free also but in order to get the latest map, you need to have a contributors status first.

Openstreetmap.org.ph/garmin. You need to download the mapsource installer and connect your garmin.
