Thanks. But I am looking for something like this.http://www.garmin.com/products/nuvi360/
I don't know if there is a similar paroduct though>
My bad. I did not realize that it is similar after scouring the whole pages.The used of the word PDA is somewhat confusing to me.

I have been using GPS on my PDA for more than a year now. I use a GPS receiver with bluetooth paired to my PDA Phone, and I use MapKing Asia as my GPS software. I think it is the only none proprietary software with detailed map of Metro Manila. For the rest of the country, I use the software for Garmin devices, but since upgrading to a WM5.0 device, I can't get the Garmin software to work.

I just looked at the Garmin website and it seems that the 276C is more apt for marine navigation. It does have a selection of roadmaps (one includes the Philippines) but the site says it's a basemap ... meaning, you'll get the major roads only, excluding the smallest and shortest of streets. And once the map (Americas, Europe or Pacific) is loaded by the dealer, you can't alter it. So if you're going to use it in the Philippines, you can't use in the US. It may not be a big deal to you if you only use it in the Philippines ... but one more problem I see is that if the map can't be altered, then it means that it can't be updated in the future.

Maybe additional maps should be purchased separately? Like in the case of MapKing Asia, the software itself is free, you have to purchase the maps.
