Can check for postcode easily from www.streetdirectory.com
Another option is to locate your destination from the map view on the Garmin gps. :)

This is ridiculous. You still need an online street directory to know a postal code for a road not found in a Garmin GPS before you can perform a search on it??? And if you have absoutely no idea where is that road, do you think you still can locate your destination on the map view?

Do let us know if you have a GPS that can search for every single road name in SG. So far, search by post code never failed me. :)

Taking sumsum80's example of Boon Teck Rd, below are some screenshots from my Papago R6600:

Maybe you give me some roadnames which yours can't find and I see whether my GPS can find it or not. I also hope that I know a GPS that can do a 100% road search in SG.

Try using free maps from local community malsingmaps ( MSM ) or malfreemaps ( MFM ). Maps are updated weekly. Google for links

Hi guys, I have a garmin 1350 and i have trouble connecting to my PC for update of maps.

The USB cable that im using could not detect my garmin. There's always this popup saying that my GPS device is not connected to my PC when it prompts me to enter the token provided by garmin website.

Anyone else encounters this problem?

Hi everyone,

Was thinking of getting this Garmin GPS from Amazon.Before buying, some questions:

Since it is not a localized set, there is no junction view or lane view right?
Is there a way to convert it like the 205W / 255W / 265W Garmin Nuvi to SG/MY firmware?

When I was on the garmin sg site, there is a new update to 1350 SG/MY
Am i able to use this update on the 1350 US set?

Thanks for your help


US set cannot update localized SG firmware without causing problems.

Free Map Update Policy

I just purchased a nuvi 1350 and also registered online at the Garmin website. I then visited the Free Map Update Policy and it reads as follows:


MalSing
nĂĽMaps Lifetime gives you free map updates for the lifetime* of your Garmin device

* If you purchase a nüMaps Lifetime™ subscription (sold separately or bundled together with certain GPS models), you will receive up to four (4) map data updates per year, when and as such updates are made available on Garmin’s website, for one (1) compatible Garmin product until the product’s useful life expires or Garmin no longer receives map data from its third party supplier, whichever is shorter. The updates received under the subscription will be updates to the same geographic map data originally included with the Garmin product when originally purchased). In some instances, your Garmin product might not have sufficient memory remaining to load an update to the same map data originally included with the Garmin product, in which case you will need to either (a) select reduced map data coverage for your updates, or (b) purchase separately a microSD card or a SD card (as applicable to your Garmin product) and load all or a portion of the map data coverage for your updates to the card and insert the card into the microSD card or SD card slot contained in the Garmin product. Garmin may terminate your nüMaps Lifetime subscription at any time if you violate any of the terms of this Agreement. The nüMaps Lifetime subscription may not be transferred to another Garmin product.

Singapore/Malaysia
The nĂĽMaps Guarantee entitles you to 1 or more free map updates within 60 days of Feb 24, 2012.You are also eligible for 1 additional free map update after Apr 24, 2012, but before Feb 23, 2013*.

* Guarantee applies to one covered Garmin product. Not transferable to any other person or product. .................


Can you advise if I can get free map updates for life, which I am told I can, but the nuMaps policy states I can only have one within 60 days of registration and another before the expiry of the 12 months of registration. Can some sifus here clarify. Thanking you all in advance.

There are 2 sets of maps loaded into your Sg Garmin nuvi 1350 - numaps and MalSing maps.

Numaps updates have an expiry date. MalSing maps updates do not. Both may be updated at Garmin's website as and when an updated is posted.

Garmin does not post updates that often. If you want latest MalSing map, go straight to MalSing map website to update. Instructions are found there.

This is a problem encountered by many and has been discussed in other forums.

The only solution is to use another USB cable.

No two cables are alike by looks alone. Make sure the cable is configured for data transfer as some may be configured for charging only.

Use best fit.

Just choose 10 as 10A, 10B should be next linked block.

Else use postal code.
