Gps Bluetooth & Garmin Xt Products On Phuket

[smartecosse]

Having spoken to the "advisors" in several stores that stock Garmin products and tried unsuccessfully to speak to someone at ESRI in BKK can anyone suggest somewhere on Phuket that sells the Garmin XT for windows mobile software with the Thailand maps?

Also i need to find a bluetooth gps receiver of decent quality.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

garmin XT is a crap, if u need to navigate on rural roads

[smartecosse]

surely its the maps and not the software that was crap?

[hudriwudri]

you have a better Map for Garmin than the one everyone can buy?

I use Garmin XT on my Nokia 5800, compared with Powermap on my PocketPC it'S a crap!

Powermap has nearly ervery rural road, and thousands POI's, even Temples in small villages in Eesan, where Garmin not even has a road on the map!

Garmin were selling the VERY OLD 7.x series maps until recently.. Those 120 USD ones with memory card ?? Punting off old stock I guess.

ESRI sell the Thai maps in Thailand.. Were charging 12k baht for them.. The difference between 8 and 7 was huge.. I have the 8.3 running on my garmin unit and not had time to test the new version, it was only released a couple of days ago.
