Re: Which garmin should I buy? Old or newer models

I wanna buy a micro-SD card for the garmin unit. The only problem is, I don't know what size should I get. Since I have not uploaded any mfm maps yet, could you give suggestions on what is a sensible amount of card to buy? Only need malaysian maps on it. European maps are standard with device. I al...

Re: Garmin Nuvi 1250

Other differences: 1. Ability to add multiple maps with customised names in Map folder, instead of just gmapsupp.img and a few others 2. Faster GPS signal acquisition (from what I observed) 3. microSD card (I forgot if 255 is SD or microSD) You meant can install more maps on device, and select set ...

If you are now at Home location in Singapore, and you want to simulate a route from Point A to Point B in Country C, turn GPS off (simulation on), browse to Point A, Country C, then Set Location at that point.

Re: GPS Connection slow recently. GPS Satelite Overload?

no difference detected by me. Must be your device, car, environment or simply your own perception.

Re: Garmin Nuvi 1250

1250 and 255 should be the same 3.5" screen. It is 1350 and 1460 that sport bigger screens.

Re: Which garmin should I buy? Old or newer models

As stated, there are different versions for different markets. So, the first question must surely be: where will you be ultimately using your Garmin? If it is back in the UK, then buy a UK version. If M'sia, buy the M'sian version when in M'sia/S'pore. Models, I would go for the latest Nuvi 1xxx mod...

Re: Nuvi 1460

My 1460 is sealed with 2 ports - a mini USB and another port which looks like another USB but slightly flattened (like that of a nokia power inlet). No SD slot. I believe the 1690 has an SD slot but reverted to a 4.3" screen. I looked at the 1460 specs and confirm it accepts microSD. Please do...
