Hi all, do we need to pay monthly or yearly fees for the GPS service? Sorry to ask a silly question as I'm totally new to GPS service (never own one, may give it a try if needed too). Thanks.

You buy the device for GPS and it is connected to satellite. No subscription is needed. You can get the map from malsing.

Can consider looking at the GPS models available during the upcoming IT Show (12th - 15th March). Usually have quite good deals during these shows.

When I was looking at GPS, the main things I had in mind were:
1. How to update maps and preferably free. Your GPS is as good as your latest updated maps.

2. Ease of use. Some maps may not have postal code search so please select and try the GPS models you are considering. The postal code search is mostly map dependant.

3. Ease of use II. Impt thing is how long it takes your GPS to search for a location. No point sitting in the car and wait 10 mins while your set searches for your next destination.

P/S: I'm currently using a Nuvi 5000, mainly for the AV input which I've connected to a reverse camera. Don't like too many screens on my dashboard. Only draw-back is that it's meant for vehicle use, no internal battery

That is a huge GPS. Do you still leave it on the dashboard when you step off the car?
