Re: Is GPS device allowed in Myanmar?
Country is still under martial law so be discrete in using.
I was in China late last month. No matter what, this is still a communist country. When I was in country, at one of small village, a local people defense soldier ( their equivalent of civil defense ) notice me fiddling with my unit and asked what I was holding. I told him my Nuvi was a MP3 player and played songs.

... else I wonder what would happen...?
Although it's still a communist country, I think China should allow the use of GPS devices as they are the largest country selling many types of GPS devices, Mobile Phones, etc.
