[QUOTE="saat, post: 355841, member: 77"] The most popular formats are Garmin and Mapking. There is one site that initially provided free Malaysia & Singapore maps in both Garmin and Mapking formats. They have now locked it up cos they signed an agreement with Garmin to sell their maps. Garmin sells their map updates at USD99. We all jumped to a breakaway site that initially produces Malaysia & Singapore maps in Garmin format. The raison d'être of this new community is to keep the maps free. This site have now expanded to produce in another format that is now becoming more popular in in region. The maps are updated weekly. I am thinking of getting this new brand of GPS just to try it out using the map from this site. The new GPS is RM700 vs the same equivalent Garmin at MYR1,800. I'll be able to report on it in a few months. FYI I also have a Navman that uses Tele Atlas format maps. Tele Atlas map update are very expensive. I paid GBP49 for a European map update from Tele Atlas at 50% Christmas discount. I heard BMW map update is MYR2K. [/QUOTE]
