Where can I buy a SatNav

Post by sand_dancer »

Good Day Peeps,

Returning to Hua Hin in about 3 weeks.

Hitting the road the next day on a bit of a jaunt around the Country.

Can someone tell me where I can buy a decent English speaking SatNav and approx cost.

Buying where I am is not an option,

Many thanks in advance.

I bought a Garmin unit at Pure Plaza on Petchakasem Road, just a bit further North than Chomsin Road on the right hand side for just under 5000 Baht. Its a very good piece of kit but they didn't have too much stock so you take pot luck.

You can't go wrong with a Garmin market leading products they are also a big name in marine electronics.

Bernard. Thanks for that. I will make this my first point of call.

Kendo. Agreed 100%. I have one in a box in Storage in the UK. I also use a GPS version for work.

Thanks Guys

Basic Garmin Nuevi with the slightly wider screen at Tesco Lotus Pranburi for 3990 baht - bought one last month!

That is much cheaper than I paid and I understand the wider screen is better because it has a QUERY keyboard facility.

QUERY, because it allows you to request alternative routes.
