Wow! this is a good guide for newbie who doesn't have unit.

Let me try!

Do you want to control the GPS using my voice ? No - my voice is not so good!

Do you care about having an upcoming turn indicator on the map? emmm maybe No!

Do you want a widescreen display (4.3 inches)? Yes definitely!

Is text to speech important? emm Yes, hopefully it does spell out our Malaysian road name correctly!

Do you want to receive Traffic alerts and also Bluetooth? Yes! but Malaysian doesn't support traffic alerts yet but I want the bluetooth!

Do you want MSN direct for gas price, weather, etc? emmm Malaysia still yet to have that technology in place. Gas price and weather our latest is using newspaper! definitely NO!

The unit I end up want to get is Nuvi 760! emm!!!. Christmas present? Hopping Santa drop in

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Cheers!

Regional map means, what maps is being installed in the device. Example, if you buy 710 in Italy, you will get map of taly. There is no nuvi 710 in US, because nuvi 760 already comes with US maps. In other words, nuvi 760 will has US maps, eventhough you buy it in Congo. If you buy 710 in Congo, you might gets Congo's map.

So, which map you gets with your 710?

my sales report told me... most of them fall in 205W because of "PRICE"
So, maybe should Ask : can afford to pay < Rm800 < Rm1000 < .........? :$gone: :$gone: :$gone: :$$: :evil:

Yes, agreed. Most of us are price conscious. But they are who want somethings that suit their needs... Yes, to suit your need, you need to sacrifice :$gone: :$gone: :$gone: . At the end, they will feel :D :D :D
