Which GPS to buy?

[Vtim]

my old trusty Garmin 205W no longer working, can't detect satellite even I were to stand outside my car with it in my hand for more than 15mins.

Any recommendation? I mostly need it for trips up North.

Bro....IT fair around the corner.....go there and y will find so many models to choose from lah

Still recommend Garmin.

If you seldom use it in Singapore, but frequently use it in Malaysia, you should go for Marbella running Papago software.

 

I personally find Papago much better than Garmin & Galatio. Moreover, Marbella is way cheaper than Garmin & slightly cheaper than Holux.

I'll choose Garmin 'cos now the new model comes with lifetime map update up to 4 times per year and the cheapest one is the 40LM with 4.3" screen selling at about $179 at Challenger.......

Garmin 2465LM

Lifetime free map updates are equally important than hardware specs.

oh, one more question, the latest Garmin's satellite tracking is it very fast ?

 

my old 205w seems to take at least 5mins~7mins to track (when it was working)

[Dafansu]

My 50LM took less than 1 min to track when good weather.......just now heavy rain took about 3 mins to lock on.......

Mmmm.....$100 is a challenge......maybe can consider 2nd hand one or download those apps like Papago, Garmin etc.........but performance wise I don't know.......

Hi,

 

I have the Nuvi 200, but mine still working so not buying. Only thing is now its a bit slow and lagging due to the increased map details from the latest malfree/malsing map update.

 

Latest price list here :

 

I recommend the 50LM.
