Hey friends,

I have HTC Touch. I don't have any knowledge about how GPS exactly will work for me... I am not much into that tech.

But as I am arriving in Thailand and would love to travel places, I want some maps or something to make things easier.

Hence I thought about trying GPS. I saw that video of GPS working in Iphone and it really appealed me.

Now, I want some CHEAP solution to see routes and find places easily in real time. I do see an option for the same in HTC Touch (I have). But it seems like

GPS Receiver. But I am completely Newbie to it. Doesnt even knw wat is it and how does it work.

Will really appreciate a detail reply on this whole topic asap as Otherwise I'll need to buy some other thing whichever u suggest before I fly to Bangkok.

You need a bluetooth GPS receiver. I bought this one for about 1000 baht here in Bangkok:

It works great with the HTC Touch!

Usually the small shops can give you a copy of the Garmin Software and Thailand maps.

Just lost my Garmin 10 GPS unit in the forest while chasing my errant mutt. The unit worked fairly well with my Nokia N97 phone, have both the Garmin road maps software and SmartComGPS tracking / custom maps software on my phone which shows scanned images of the military maps for this area and records tracks when hiking.

Am now looking to purchase a new blue tooth gps unit. The above unit should work great for me and the specs and all look good. I saw it on this web site http://www.isystemonline.com/product.detail_0_en_1674967 for 3290 B. Did you buy the unit second hand for 1,000 B??

Anyone have any first hand experience of what kind of accuracy ie. how many meters this device gives at best?
