my new toy

Just bought my first GPS (Garmin Nuvi 255W) for RM 1150. My sense of direction has always been "non-existant", except for going to work and back

Been doing some research on which company to buy from. Did found a website which sold the same model for RM 1070 but i was a bit worried on the warranty as they did not state it in their website. Lefta message there but i gues it was a weekend and nobody worked

So determine to test the unit before purchasing it, i went to Digital Mall in Sec 14. Wasn't too difficult to find the Garmin shop, located on the right hand side of the main entrance. This shop claims to be the only Authourized Distributor by Garmin. Was quite happy with the unit even though it is more expensive by RM 80 so hubby said 'buy" (bday present from hubby).

Reached home eagerly to tear open the box. Surprisingly there was no warranty card. Maybe just need to register ito online. The manual were too simple. No instructions on how long you need to charge the unit. Tried looking for the simulation function but didn't know how. Realize that the sales person attending to me failed to explain some of the functions to me and i being too impulsive have forgotten to ask him. Anyway, will ask him when i collect my free casing next week from him.

Tested the GPS today with Rolly Polly to look for a food place recommended in Food-4-Thot blog. the unit bring us there alright though it has a wierd slang which need some time to get use. eg Kepong pronounced as Keh Pong

Will test it again on next week when i'm going to KL
