WTF 4th Gear June 7, 2013 Share June 7, 2013 (edited) Got myself a 4.3" 42LM, supposedly the younger "brother" of the 52LM, at the PC show on Thu. Quite happy with it & only problem was I couldn't update the map online with the serial no. as it was rejected. Not sure why. But like mentioned quite like the device maybe the 'O' is actually a 'zero' in your serial number or vice versa.....I had the same problem when I first got my 50LM....

Vulcann 6th Gear June 7, 2013 Share June 7, 2013 maybe the 'O' is actually a 'zero' in your serial number or vice versa.....I had the same problem when I first got my 50LM.... Hmmmm.....you could be right bro. BTW did you register your 50LM? The stupid website hangs whenever I tries to download this Gramin communictaor plugin thingy for the zillionth time. It always said it is downloading but nothing happens for the next few hours But since the stock map still works I am not really bothered since I can still use the new toy.

Ahseng 5th Gear June 8, 2013 Share June 8, 2013 Why nobody uses google maps? it has voice navigation also. best of all it's FREE!! (im assuming almost everyone having smartphones here) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(im assuming almost everyone having smartphones here) you need good and uncongested network at all corners. Driving at fringe of Singapore will log you into overseas mobile network. Driving to MY will cost a bomb, unless you swop to MY SIM card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(im assuming almost everyone having smartphones here) I did use, just that I feel WAZE is a lot better, it have live user update on traffic conditions, i.e traffic accident, traffic complete standstill and thus user can avoid the particular road if there is any incident. WAZE is also free too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
