Menu...... just like Nuvi 2xxW series. Changes?
Huerm.... make-up artrist lebih sikit.... But BIG value in this gadget is TTS Voice Guide System. This model using TTS Voice. There'r more than 6 choices of TTS voice to select and more langguage in Wav Voice System but I prefer American-English Samanta in my system. Nice word when call road name in bahasa.
Before this, we only can get TTS Voice in advance model like Nuvi 7xx/8xx series. But now, Garmin try to downgrade their way of interest to modified Nuvi 2xx series with TTS Voice and
..I buy this unit coz I like TTS in cheapest set.SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

THE BEST PART I LIKE THIS SYSTEM
When I test My system.......
With HotFix™ Technology function:

- Got 3 meters accuracy under rough and thunderstorm condition.
- Got 5 meters accuracy in half-tunnel or roof-building.
- Can find and re-search satellites in 3 floor building in 15 second search and give full satellites coordination after locking satellites.
- can route or re-route in 1 second (test from Kota Bharu to Johore Bharu with MFM version 1.36 installed)
- Accuracy coordinate in 256W is excellent. Tepat dan Cepat.
NEGATIVE VALUE:
1.
.....for me. Just one........... this system when do logging use "Lock On Road only". So.... it's will stick to nearest road when off road. This LOR sometime do wierd thing when device go off road in map BUT only happen for 15 meters near road but after that, it's will do logging track refer to coordinates as usual.2. DON'T HAVE MP3 PLAYER
3. Can't change to Track-up mode map when change from 3D-View to 2D map. Alwayz in "Follow North mode map".
