I will be uploading more of Clinics and hospitals (if there are any still not in or new ones) as I go around northern region quite a lot.

It'll be good if the POIs section does carry a clinics & Hospitals tab too. I'm currently on Nuvi 206W

Cheers and have a jolly good time guys! :D

Hello all,

I am a newbie here, just bought PAPGO R5800 yesterday. Do not have technical experience with GPS.
But it is very convenient for daily use..

One question though. How can I get and install new vehicle icon (cool ones) :) ?

Cheers,
Troy

Which Papago model R U using brudder Zamad and does it have a lane assist feature? Can you get one for me and pass it on to bros SB or Singawon when you all rendezvous at the coming Ipoh meet? PM me with model, price and how I can transfer funds to you, thanks. :)

I got the R5800 from M3GPS for RM899(before discount). As I've not yet decided whether I'd be able to go to the Ipoh GG, I do not want to be in an awkward position having to pass the unit over to bro Silverbeauty or Singawon. :-k

How about any of them bros get it from SG? EastGear sells them for SGD329.

I C... I can understand the position I would have landed you into... :prayer:

I overlooked the fact that it is obtainable too in Spore... I thought it was only marketed for MY roads... thanks for the tip. Not bad for the price then. :thumbsup: Will now need to 1st see which Sing brudders sing the sweetest $$$ tag obtainable... :mrgreen:
