GPS Nuvi 200

For Malaysian, Garmin is the most optimum choice when it come to GPS navigation. Although there are several other GPS brand in Malaysia e.g. Mapking but Garmin is the most recommended one.

Nuvi 200 is the entry level All-in-One (AiO) standalone GPS navigation system offered by Garmin. As an entry level, it primary function is for navigation with picture viewing capability. No other fancy stuffs e.g. integrated Bluetooth for hand-free or FM TMC traffic receiver which anyway is not available in Malaysia.

As for the map, Garmin do have Malaysia and SIngapore maps included but they are not frequently updated. The best map source for Malaysia and Singapore is of course from www.malsingmaps.com. The maps are freely available for download.
