Budget GPS system?

The_YongGrand · 22nd Sep 2009, 12:34 AM

Hey men and women,

Is there any good, cheap GPS system you can recommend? So much of brands and so much of types, but which one suits the casual user well? Any good ideas and thoughts?

I think Garmin has establised itself as one of the most popular GPS.

Haha, but now, I can't really afford an iphone - just a basic GPS system will do.

Will come down to somewhere in PJ to find stores which sells those stuff.

Oooo, thanks for the location!

Damn, I've been going to and fro to the Bandar Utama quite a number of times around these weeks!

That's not exactly GPS.

Now I can't live without navigated GPS. Although phone GPS doesn't work as well as dedicated GPS (slower updates), it's by far more useful than Google Maps.

Even the relatively affordable E71 has GPS using Garmin Mobile XT.
