Kung hindi ka naman masyado mapili sa hitsura nung onscreen display, yung AVT 2DIN with GPS ok naman, yung IM-988TN ata yung model. Blade told me that they can get one from the supplier, the model with navigation, for around 20K lang (VTREC yung brand, but they claim it's the same manufacturer in China as the one that makes AVT). Question is, magaling kaya mag-install nun ang Blade? hehe. To be safe, baka pwede dumeretso sa Winterpine (the distributor of AVT) in QC.

Kung gusto mo ng the best one that's locally available, you need to shell out something like 80K for a high-end Kenwood-Garmin system. Price yan sa LA Car Accessories (http://caraccessories.ph) sa Makati, where I got mine. I remember seeing a post in Ebay.ph that there's a shop in QC that sells the Kenwood for less, search mo rin pero parang ang gulo 3 different prices for the same model (http://stores.shop.ebay.ph/C3Blaupunkt), saka ang subok ko na is yung LA Car, ok na ok ang customer service at technical competency nila. Btw, the Garmin module is optional. I for one didn't get the module, so that's 28K less gastos, hehe. Meron kasi akong Garmin na portable (Nüvi 1490T).

Happy hunting.

Yes bro.,- roadguide's 1.07 basic map, IMO, is way better than the current OSM map.... I am now using the former.....

Hi,

My dad plan to get a Garmin Nuvi 3790T sa US. May I ask if this model can work with roadguide contributor map? Thanks!

Any nüvi model should work fine with the contributor map, as long as you get your unlock code (i.e. you have contributor status).

Btw, ang ganda nyang 3790T ah, parang iPod Touch.

Available na ba lahat ng 37xx series? Yung 3750 kasi sa August pa daw lalabas eh. I want to order one to replace my 255W.

Hi Sir,

Thanks for the reply. How do I get the unlock code? Do I need to contribute also? Many thanks!

Yes, you need to contribute. Check out the details at roadguide.ph.

There's also the option to download just the standard map (less updated and less complete than the contributor version).
