If u can pay, get iphone 4s with $39.90 data plan. Surf all u want. Jiak buey liao. Iphone got free Google Maps app. Its your best GPS app. A good dedicated GPS device already cost a few hundred. Might as well get a smartphone with mobile internet acess.

if eyesight no good, good excuse to get an ipad.

iphone...... by the time you figure out the route, might be kissing someone backside.

That's $2000 plus $140 GST.

btw, i just enquire on the SMRT Merc, their excess is $1200 nia leh. Did they mislead me somehow?

This is how i use my iphone GPS.

Pax tell u destination. U dun no. So open google maps. Key in address. Look at the location. Just drive and aim towards there using the best highway. There is no risk of accident. Its a safe n proven method.

Ipad or iphone is your choice. But ipad 1 or 2 got no GSM phone, so u need 2 devices.

Fark lah single post. Dun pretend to be cabby lah. Your Powerex nimh batteries, GPS, MDT all no discount one. Very expensive ok? Salesman maciam ai lai mai sua. GPS for cabbies after a while no more use already. But iphone can use for many years. After warranty repair easily available. Even iphone 3g after so many years still can sell used set for around $300. What about your GPS? Got healthy second hand market? I bet u charge arm n leg for repairs.

Currently I am using that.

After pax tell me location, I just search when reach a traffice light and they go to that location. So far, have some rate of success. But sometimes, the fucker played me out when I need them most. Many times, search for a road and it leads me to dunno what country's road.

Anyway, this one just show you location right? not navigate u to it.

The other option I using now is the MDT. That day after dropping a pax at Holland Rd, suddenly got a booking for Jalan Lim Tai See. Dunno where the fuck it is and in the middle of the night too. Just press the "MAP" on the mdt and it shows me where I am and also the destination. I just follow according to and amazingly, it leads me to there. Dun ask me which way I took cos I also dunno.

GPS on iPhone is usually too small in size for driver that need reading glasses and not to mention it’s accuracy could be in excess of 20 M (imagine in location where roads are near to each other).
Another issue with it is it lag, e.g. if you drive on ECP, you could pass by exit 10B by the time the iPhone show your current spot.
I recommend getting a dedicated GPS from brand like Garmin, Marbella.
Most TD mounted them just in front of the steering wheel (so you could still have your eye in the general direction on the road) where you can type onto the keyboard using your master hand.
Ipad is a little too huge to mount on the dashboard area and while you could place over the MDT, you would have to stop the vehicle to check info for safety reason.

So far I have been using my Iphone 4 as a GPS. I downloaded the application Navfone and to my surprise, it works perfectly fine plus the "search time" is fast. Developed by local company and it's cheap. Apart from Navfone there are still others like Papago and TomTom which have decent reviews but I can't confirm since I'm not using it. Navfone by far is the cheapest among them ($1.99). I used to own a dedicated set, Garmin, but Navfone beats it hand down when it comes to re-routing downtime. Searching for local address is easy, effortless and fast as well. Last but not least, I am not a Navfone salesman, just a super relief for BRT. Cheers mate~

u know why he say coming coming ? he is doing it on purpose , by pressing the PTT after u give info , he is actually using up your talk group time. Anyone that answers subsequently their air time count yours.

LV 227 is another irritating fella who does that.

Guess? SG

Buy Garmin GPS, here don’t recommend bad products, I am a TD, I drive. Every countries have their own group of map developers which update any new location very month. Just have to connect your GARMIN GPS to its Website. Hardware and software integrate very well.

Bingjames SG

Anyone here has got a GARMIN and outgrown his needs and wanna sell?

Pls contact me.

Hi TS, if you want, you can try to use this software (SYGIC) which I've been using. Very impressive and accurate. Somemore, the POI is up to date with my version.If i need to find and petrol Kiosk nearby, just keyed in the Kiosk name u want (Caltex), then within a few sec will display those nearby. Also can use shortcut like A M K st (with space) for Ang Mo Kio Street. Only the recent 11.2.4 version and above is good, the previous few CMI.

I'm using this software in my Adroid phone (HTC Desire). It is also applicable for iphone too. But, the bigger the screen the better cos can see more. You need help to get the s/w let me know. Take care...
