Sorry I don't know any dealer in your place. I normally get my stuff from Bro jeremaze . Give him a PM for a quote and he will send it to you upon payment.

Anyone else can assist our Bro here?... Thanks for your help.

garmin is hands down better, way more professional.

i can't stand papago's voice navigation system. it will only alert u to turn when it's 300 meters away from the turning :ko:
and it has this problem of telling apart 'turns', 'keep left/right', and 'u-turns' (sometimes when u need to u-turn it will tell u to turn-left/right twice in a row)

unlike garmin, which can tell u to keep to what lane, like 'slowly go to the left/right lane', it will alert u when to turn much more sooner with the proper distance based on your speed (i think), and etc.

garmin has a much more cleaner interface too.

i've both garmin nuvi (295W) & Papago (X2,X3 & X5)
for me, font is not influential but the picture was important..
Papago picture is more "nice" rather than garmin.
garmin road pic have sharp angle and too thin, not nice to see.

for 3D navigation, Papago more better, you can drag in 3D with Papago.
whereas Garmin can only drag navigation only in 2D mode not in 3D such as papago.

so far both are similar good, garmin expensive but good, papago more cheap but better :-)
I use garmin in a country that have not papago map only, so for malaysia & asean country better use papago.
