[QUOTE="FVel, post: 1063405531, member: 48425"] A decent GPS like the Garmin Nuvi-series, or, (if you prefer another manufacturer), Papago will be more than adequate for most users. At the end of the day though, a big factor is your GPS is really only as good as the maps within it. The best maps for Malaysia/Singapore, I feel, are the ones from Malfreemaps ([url=http://www.malfreemaps.com/]My ASEAN Free GPS Map Project • Index page[/url]). Totally free of course. Updated every Monday and with jaw dropping details you wouldn't believe to be possible. Last year I had to visit a kampung smack in the middle of the jungle for a survey trip. The roads, to put it mildly, were quite wild, with sheer cliff drops, unpaved surfaces, and running into the jungle for miles. Amazingly this was mapped in the GPS. Basically some guy from Malfreemaps sweated out the journey to map out this out-of-the-way location....a place where regular folks wouldn't even rate a likely visit. I was totally amazed. (Post a picture later) The volunteers who support that website are the unsung heroes of dedication. I met a few of them during coffee-meets. Mostly old-timers but all obsessively committed (much to our benefit). If you download their maps, don't forget to say thanks at their website. Very generally, the current maps for Garmin and Papago will be very adequate for cities with Garmin maps having an edge of being more detailed in terms for non-urban country towns/areas. Papago has an edge for city navigation with better 3d 'junction view' (for example, great for the numerous overpasses, flyovers in KL). But in truth, they are both more than adequate. I use Garmin Nuvi myself. Never had a complaint. [/QUOTE]
