hey guys..
i used to have an etrex lengend.. but i think its screen is giving up on me.. well.. 10 year is a long time to last!!!
i am looking to get a new gps systems for tracking and trail...
and since i am going up go mt kinabaru at may. i am thinking of getting a new one...
any one to recommend? color or no color dun really matter to me.
anything that is same as the etrex lengend is great!!! keke... of course if there is more space for maps will be good.
one question will be.. should i get a set with maps? or without maps?

okay!!
i got myself a etrex30... nice stuff..
i have to ask a few question. have not been on the board for a very long time..
i know i can put in the singapore map into it from
Free Malaysia & Singapore GPS Map. these have some custom poi inside.
then i can get other poi from
MFM Custom POI Feedback?
How about the
MFM Tracklogs & POIs Dropbox? how to access that?
Also, i intend to do mount kk.. so i guess i need some topo maps... i guess this is the places to go?
Free East Malaysia Topo Map: MFM-SRTMEM 090918 and [url=http://www.malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=974]
Free West Malaysia Topo GPS Map: MFM-SRTMWM 090918[/url]
are these updated?
thanks in advance...

Topo maps are not for navigational use
If you want address, use standard map.

Most of the custom POI are meant for car navigational units ie.. Nuvi. Handheld is not designed for car navigation as it only beeps for you to turn and screen is too small.How about the
MFM Tracklogs & POIs Dropbox? how to access that?
This is for mapper to access only. He will harvest the contributions here and compile into mapAlso, i intend to do mount kk.. so i guess i need some topo maps... i guess this is the places to go?
