Jangan tertipu… bila suh update Garmin GPS map….

7 Replies

Saya pakai Garmin GPS pada kereta dan juga handphone saya. Saya perangai saya, saya suka sesuatu yang up to date termasuklah GPS map file. So, setiap bulan saya suka update map GPS tu tapi yang jadi masalahnye, bila tanya kat kedai, rata-rata tokey kedai tu cakap “Lu mau update itu GPS map itu boleh.. tapi RM tiga puluh linggit lor…..”

Saya pelik bende yang simple giler tuh pon diorang boleh charge sampai RM30…. tu belom suh install Garmin lagi kat dalam tepon. Kalu nak install garmin dalam tepon nokia berapa pulak??  Tokey kedai jawab balik…”Lu kalu mau install oliginal punya.. ampat latus wooo… tapi kalu lu mau local punya lapan puloh linggit wooo”

Double hampeh kalu nak install diorang charge RM80…. ish ish ish… 15 minit keje RM80 untuk install dan 5 minit keje untuk update RM30….

Ni saya nak kongsi skit… mungkin ramai yang dah tahu nak update GPS map dan untuk Malaysia, Singapore dan Brunei… korang boleh download sendiri map source tu dari website nih..http://www.malfreemaps.com atau http://www.malsingmaps.com. Apa yang korang perlu buat adalah register as member.. free aja then download ler GPS map source tu for free… site tu bagus sebab map dia update every 2 weeks.  Download aja dan copy file gmapsupp.img dan masuk dalam memori card dalam folder /Garmin. itu aja… dan korang dah save RM30.

Secondly, sapa yang pakai tepon Nokia dengan OS Symbian S60 3rd Edition, boleh CUCUK SINI untuk tahu macamana nak install GarminMobileXTforSymbianS603rdEdition dan korang boleh save RM80….

So pepandai ler berjimat
