Beachboy7718 Clutched April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 The garmin map is not 100% updated. It happens to me few times like few building away. Worst is like 0.5km apart. My bro tells me better use other map instead of garmin maps. More accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ev0lutionz Clutched April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 Perhaps you shouldnt rely on the gps too much. Take a look at the map first before you set off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ins1dious Turbocharged April 5, 2012 Share April 5, 2012 i use a 3$ app from Agis that works for the iphone. I bought it with maps for SG+MY. Works very well I don't use it all the time. Only when going to an unfamiliar part of town. Worth it for the price. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2r23eiBZ1A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
