Nuvi 205W

tadaa .... my new toy ... i just bought it from http://www.gadgetsdeal.com/

@ RM840 with pre-loaded City Navigator USA 48 states NT

we'll that's the current offer and promotion they have on stock..

so what the hell lah ... to get Malaysia or Singapore or even

Thailand and any other neighbouring country's map are

just a few clicks away ..., anyway this units is USA model...

meaning it should be more expensive because USA map

usually cost alot more lah .. as usual ....

anyway ...

 i have downloaded maps from http://www.malfreemaps.com/

latest version v1.52

yeah .. this site sure we'll to be mentioned because there is

no nonsense just click download and there u have FREE

Malaysia and Singapore maps and u can add it with

the POI (Point Of Interest) and even TOPO maps

all FREE !!!!

ok if you should ask ... malsingmaps or malfreemaps ..

go do your own A B comparison because it can be

pretty biased and i'm in a good mood to show u what

Nuvi 205W has that my old Nuvi 301 do not have

hahahahahahahhaha

anyway there are many things that this new Nuvi beats

my old Nuvi 301, in terms of voice clarity, screen

resolution, brightness and satellite lock....

and of cos ... wide screen matters !!!!

ok ok here's what i do ....

1st  ... i went to garmin to register ...

then i update the USA map .. it;s free for 1 time update

and since i have activated my Nuvi so i have 60days to

update the free update USA map lah ...

then i went to update my software to version 5.00

from version 4.50... this means now i have additional

program like ecoRoute

ecoRoute is a program where u can input your

type of gasoline/ Petrol price / liter and City mileage/100km

and Highway mileage /100km

example for my car

Petrol $ 1.80/liter

Urban 1.80/l00km

Sub Urban 1.5/100km

so when u travel it will gives u

Distance = 0.00km

Time travel = 00:00

Cost of Fuel Used = $0.00

Average Fuel Economy = 0.0L/100km

Carbon Footprint = 0.00kg

Fuel Used = 0.0L

for cars that do not comes with electronics fuel

calculator that calculates your mileage over petrol

now with this new feature you are able to tell

how petrolhead are your vehicle ...

we'll i just finish updating so of cos i have no data

to share for now wakakakakka

but typically my car runs at 15km/l to 18km/l

depends on my mood laa

that's translate to 400km++ per 33litre

thats 400km++ = RM 60

not bad huh ....

so i'm going to see how this ecoRoute compare

with my car's computer ... it should give the same

reading +/- traffic jam and my drunk driving

wakakakakkakaka

anyway ... for RM840 .. it's a steal !!! ..

and i heard from gadgetsdeal,

they might bundle with 2GB SD preloaded with

Malaysia and Singapore map ... i dunno...

u know me ... i cannot wait when i saw any gadgets 

thats soooooo in my reach ....

as if the nuvi 205w are saying ...

bring me home ... bring me home papa !!!!

anyway .... wide screen do matters !!!!

anyone interested in my Nuvi 301 ???

wakakakakakakaka
