Where to buy Garmin GPS?

[likot]

Meron sa Cyberzone Megamall sa tapat ng CDR-King PCWorx yata yung shop or yung katabi non basta don sa helera na yun.

To go back to the question of this thread, "Where to buy Garmin products?", still the answer is buy them abroad. The link above clearly shows how much the prices here are padded. And to think that the map is freely available both in roadguide.ph and OSM, these resellers are really making a huge profit. So beware all Garmin gps buyers, be informed and don't fall victim to these predators.

And to show you the proof that there is a much better value for your money option, compare this guy's price of Nuvi 1490T here...http://www.bentaserbisyo.com/producto.html and that with Amazon.com....Amazon.com: Garmin nüvi 1490/1490T 5-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic: Electronics. You do the math.

wow, walang preno preno hehehe.

what's the best Garmin GPS to buy in the states? something about 100bux lang with touch screen and voice.

My friend is coming back to the Philippines this month, i think this would be perfect since we're going on a Luzon road trip for a week w/ my new Cruze

I think 205w would be the model within that price range. I actually just got my 255w yesterday that I had my mom buy from the States. She bought it with the price tag of $129. You might want to consider this since the price difference is not that big anyways.

**Just saw CVT's post. It is a lot cheaper so you can check that out too.

when buying from amazon kung minsan mae-enganyo ka bumili nung next higher model - since ang liit naman ng difference, so iisipin mo "yung mas mahal na lang ng konti kasi mas maganda features". but the reality of using it in the philippines is that you won't be able to use these features because gps support in the phl is not that mature yet. actually if not for roadguide and osm we'd be in the dark. ah oo nga pala, meron accumap...

i would have bought the wt versions kung merun traffic advisory support, yung bluetooth, well, sayang naman yung jabra, yung "speaks" street names pwede na rin, pero i could also live without. so ang bagsak ko... nuvi205w. the only problem with my unit is that i can't seem to get the "easter egg" to work! sayang yung mga track contributions ko, tsk,tsk,tsk

[oj88]

There are other features on higher end models that may still be applicable locally. Just to name a few, there's trafficTrends/myTrends, multi-destination routing and voice command. Yun nga lang... talagang high-end; Nuvi 3790T

[crazy_boy]

dont want to open another thread na. so dito nalang.

Help me choose naman.

Garmin 205w or 265w? which one will me more practical and usable here in Philippines?

Thanks!

[cydepx44]

magpa-hand carry ka from US ng 205W for less than 5k. mag-member ka roadguide and contribute. pag may nagka-kursunada ng 205W mo (yung mga inosente sa gps) ibenta mo ng 10k (kasi nga may contributor map). bumili ng 265W sa mga sellers sa roadguide (marami dun mag-abang ka lang) for 8,500 sometimes less, request ka 2nd unlcock code kay judge. ayus! that's how i upgraded hehe.

sir, 2nd unlock code for the contributor map?

and malaki ba difference ng 205w and 265w?

sorry. isa ako dun sa mga inosente sa gps hehe

[cydepx44]

hehe

konti lang difference nung 205w sa 265W. from the top of my mind:
265W: "speaks" street names - e.g. "turn left at quezon avenue"
205w: "turn left in 50 meters" lang
265W: with bluetooth connectivity for handsfree operation of your phone
205W: wala
yung iba features hindi ko naman nagamit. twice pa lang naman ako nailigaw ng gps ko.

[LexTer]

pwede kayo makabili nyan in any motoworld branches. meron sa MOA, trinoma, at global. selling around 4 to 5k.

You'll need the unlock code to get the contributor's version of the map. You have to contribute first though for you to get it.

Sa ngayon nga kaka-register ko pa lang sa roadguide.ph. Nahihilo ako sa dami na rin ng thread and of how do i give my own contribution if i haven't known anything from my garmin nuvi aside from using it lang!

Hindi rin pala madaling makakuha ng updated roadmap. So, i will just keep reading at roadguide.ph and learn how to contribute at probably get the updated version! Goodluck!

Haha! Pareho pala tayo sir. I don't have the time just yet to give my contribution kaya tyaga lang muna sa current map na available.
