first of all, is it legal to buy handheld or portable GPS device in thailand? i heard in some countries, this is regulated by government intel guys.

i'm not referring to those gadgets with map navigation, just a simple portable device which gives you Latitude and Longitude coordinates.

i've been trying to look for one in panthip or fortune but can't find what i'm looking for.

thanks for the help.

But you did find something? I have seen GPS units on sale in both places. Many malls now have them on sale. Mobile phones, as common as dirt these days, have GPS built in. Google Thai GPS for any number of providers. I have bought three GPS units since I have stayed in Thailand. Each time I bought on the net from a US location and had it courier delivered as the prices were always cheaper.

nope, couldn't find one. i'm actually looking for those stand alone devices like the Magellan Triton series or anything simpler than that. no funky maps, not phone accessory, just plain NSEW coordinates.

thanks.
