hav always been wanting to buy a GPS for e car cos i am really bad with direction. i only noe how to go to e usual places. many times, i took e long way jus to get to those unfamiliar destinations. at other times, i couldnt even get to e places i wanted to and had no choice but to change plan. when i first gt my nokia E71, i foolishly thot it comes with GPS la. yes, it does actually. just for e first 3 mths. after tt u wld needa subscribe and i was told it cost abt $150 per year. how expensive man!
after e 3 mths were up last week, i was abit lost. literally ha. had gotten used to e convenience and reliability of GPS. but buying a GPS was still nt yet on my mind as it was pretty ex.
last fri, when i was waiting for my dabao food at JP, i went to courts to jus look look see see. a printed piece of paper pasted on e GPS display cabinet caught my mind. i saw GPS as cheap as $199 and it was a 4.3″ packard bell one. e price was originally $499, according to tt advertisement. but e only thing was tt it was a display set.. well, i thot it doesnt really matter so on e spot i got e salesman and said i wanted tt.
my new packard bell GPS
but it was nt being displayed at all so e salesman went to find it. and later told me tt e display set has been sold. but he managed to find one last box and told me tt as tt is not e display set, e promo didnt hold. but he was nice enough to check with e manager and told him e situation, tt i saw e $199 price on e advert though e display set has been sold.. so in e end i gt to buy it at $199! quite a bargain man. cos when i gt home and check its review, it was supposed to be quite gd.
and more happily, e next day i saw e same model retailing at $599 at best denki! wooohoo.

Sometimes the gps not very accurate one lor. When i get lost, they bring me around in circles before i reach that place! how is your packard bell so far??
Hmm, I agree that sometimes GPS is inaccurate!
Why don’t u ask ur gf to help u navigate? as in with the street directory.
I will do this if Alf needs help with directions.
I still find street directory most trustworthy! =]
