It will not come down to street numbers in Bangkok, not that I have found anyway. But it is surprising the number of small business, shops, petrol stations, etc that it does list. And not only in Bangkok, but many other places that I have used it. It is far from perfect, but then it is up against a couple of Thai phenomena that work against it. For example: I have often tried to find an LPG gas station, (garage, etc) in a new place and it will take you to a small shop that fills household gas cylinders! Another problem is the continual changing of places of business, there one day and gone the next! It does not recognise if you are under an expressway or actually on it. Not always a problem, the bigger problem in Bangkok is losing the signal if you are under an expressway, or even in a narrow Soi that has tall buildings on both sides.hhfarang wrote:Actually, in Bangkok, the places I've used it for, which have mostly been restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and several addresses of other types of fairly well known buildings or places, etc. it has worked well, it's in the rural areas where you it will give you less information, but as I said, when in those rural areas driving, it has surprised me when I've asked it to show me places to eat or stay nearby.
It may work better than I understand as I am still a GPS novice.
The continual expansion of the expressway system around Bangkok, and indeed a lot of provincial roads for that matter, means that the maps can become quickly out of date, and the issue of new updates is not what it should be.
You also need to be careful about selecting either "quickest" or "shortest" when using the go to function. It will direct you down some small Soi that may be nearer by GPS, but you can end up in Somchai`s buffalo paddock very easily!
It is definitely a Thai map on mine, as it`s most used direction is: "make a U turn"!
