As you are aware as you go into ANY GPS and swith on it DOES give you the WARNING ABOUT (USING THE DEVICE) WHILST DRIVING !

DRIVING IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH HERE EVEN IF YOU ARE THAI THEY STILL HAVE TREE'S LEEPING OUT IN FRONT OF THEM !

I have a Garmin Nuvi 205W. It has a wide screen and attaches to the windscreen with a suction cup. I find it very easy to read while driving. It also speaks several different languages including Thai. Maps are available for download from the internet or you could buy maps from a dealer. The current map of Thailand shows even the smallest little dirt roads in and around our village. As an example, I once went to Time Out fishing - the GPS calculates the shortest route - and drove over a small track dividing two rice paddies! The GPS can be programmed to exclude these routes. Maps are very detailed and gives you the option to enter your own points of interest.

I would be lost without my GPS.

I have a Mio C520, Bluetooth,widescreen,dual language and loads of gizmo's I will never need. My mate has a basic Garmin and to me it is adequate and easy to use.

Hi expert Expats.
on Garmin anyone know how to keep maximum details on screen..i.e.. when you are stationary you can get what lane to be in 5 lane road but once i go above 15kph.it resorts back to less detail map....

Mio has some good idea's to Speed navi but touch screen buttons very small.

Funny mine has 4 language's Mio very easy to get to long/lat than Garmin
also like I GO  that gives you speed warnings which you can pre set and % overspeed city/open...
They all have their own downfalls.
worst i have had when suction cap on Garmin decides to let unit fall i lost all my POI's twice that's why i got a Mio but Mio is sometimes difficult to use and (too small touch buttons.).

If you are looking for somethings in another city....
Custom software would be nice like funny voice when you screw up.....
But the best of all it never gets angry !...
But i do notice that Garmin is easy to use...

but there are mistakes in it found many by the way because i have NGV select gas then type in NGV and sometimes it takes you to gas station that there is no NGV...

I talk to one of my friends and he has seen GPS Garmin for notebook and he says the detail is unreal not seen it yet he does lots of off road...
CANT WAIT FOR CUSTOM PROGRAMS ....
but the Garmin is quiet easy to use but sometimes long winded back back back back back back...like the bluetooth on Garmin say you looking for hotel or bar you get the phone No. on GPS and Dial strait in from data.
Mio you can see all the time what speed you are doing.

I wish Casio made one all there products seem to be so user friendly that you do not need instructions!

I think the most used and accepted is the Girl Phone System (GPS) to provide talking directions.

You only need to press and hold the back button to go back to the front page.

My wife argues violently with the GPS and named the female voice "Toot".

IT Dot Com is a large computer shop in Surin near to the elephant roundabout, they sell GPS systems &/or can get them for you.
Prices have come down a lot since I bought mine, although it still can be expensive to buy Thai mapping systems to install on foriegn sources units(if they are needed)
