Thats the question. For now.
A bluetooth GPS receiver. Although it seems like this was sold for $109 at the IT show, Eastgear is selling for $159 bundled with Singapore and Malaysia MapKing for PocketPCs ($99 each usual price). This promotion seems to be for the new unit moving away from Peninsular Plaza.
Points for consideration
- So far the cheapest GPS device I ever seen (other that the PSP GPS adaptor which cost about $90).
- Looks not too bad. Shaped like a ipod nano and its quite slim
- for $160, I could buy 16 maps of different areas from Popular bookstore. I must visit and use this at more 15 countries to make it worthwhile.
- at this price I could buy a Polar footpod. If this could be use for my jogging/cycling distance, its something worth considering.
- Usage of bluetooth allows flexibility - use it with a PDA, Laptop, PC or Handphone. The thing is that I would have to use it with the last and there will be certain limitations software wise.
- Singapore’s not a big country. Do I need $160 to tell where to turn left or right?
- How efficiently would this work? Esp. in urban built up areas.
- $160 issnt too little, nor too much (no feeling after spending $$ much lately) There are other opportunity costs for this.
