Wala bang transporter sa Hollow Earth? Di mo na kailangan ng GPS. Para sa mga normal humans lang yun.

Tapikin mo lang yung left breast mo, then say "Energize!"

I am using a Garmin Nuvi 260W... Bought it from amazon.com a few months ago... Para sa akin, okay lang ang mga features nito.... I think 4.3in screen siya.... Useful siya rito sa Pilipinas.... So far travel to Baguio pa lang ang nagagamitan ko at dito sa MM,- no complaints...

hi! i'm planning to get a gps device din, and from what i have read sa mga forums, garmin ang pinaka well known na brand. may question lang ako re: map/s. sa particular model na gamit mo, is this the kind na you have to download updated maps from garmin website mismo periodically tapos store sa sd card or ito yung "satellite based" or enabled gps device? thank you in advance...

wala philippines map from garmin itself. you have to get it from other sources like http://roadguide.ph/ and http://www.openstreetmap.org/.

lahat ng garmin devices are satellite based and gps enabled. walang satellite-based map (if i understand correctly what you meant), the only thing the satellites provide is a way for your gps receiver to calculate your coordinates and put your location on the map stored in your device.

I have a Garmin nuvi 275T. I used on a (first time) drive to New York City/Manhattan. It was flawless. Without it, I would've been hopelessly lost. It led me easily around the different one-way streets to whatever destination I punched in and recalculated on the fly very fast.

Nice female voice too.

Mine's the US variant, naturally.... It has preloaded maps for the US (includes the mainland, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands), Canada, and Europe.

yan din gamit ko when i was in Manhattan last month. parati nawala satellite signal sa taas ng bldgs dun. pero sa new jersey flawless

planning to buy garmin 205w, where do i download philippine maps? also how useful and accurate would it be in the philippines?

[CVT]

Try searching for roadguide.ph and OSM... They have accurate maps.... According to some, the current shared version of roadguideph is better than OSM's outside of MM.... Plus, they have lots of landmarks et al..... (I have been using OSM since I got my unit last year since what roadguide was sharing then was practically bare version )..... This, I will find out in the next couple of days...

That's to be expected inside a thick concrete building. But outside like here (and in-between buildings), my Garmin Nuvi 275T performed just fine.

I mean I lost the signal when I had the car parked inside a parking garage. But as soon as I stepped outside, the Garmin resumed right where it left off.

thanks for the info CVT

thanks for the info CVT

You are welcome, bro.

BTW, have used mine as far south as Atimonan, Quezon and as far north as Baguio... Have also used it during our last trip to Calatagan, Batangas, via Tagaytay... And this weekend, to Alaminos and Bolinao, Pangasinan..... Don't get the one with all the bells and whistles, bro... The basic unit will do here in the Philippines. (The current shared version of the roadguide has a lot of landmarks,- restaurants, gas stations, shopping areas and other points of interest with it....)

Enjoy!
