Driving in KL with Garmin GPS system

I was in KL recently and I managed to borrow a car to drive around. So, on the first day, I made a mess of it... I missed junctions and ended up wasting time looking for U-turn on highways. So, I decided to buy a GPS system as the prices have dropped by some 30%. Thanks God that I have Ah Jon with me... he downloaded the Malfreemap and put it in the GPS system. I was instantly impressed with it until...
... I tested it out on the road! I must admit that I need to get used to the jargon used, eg, "keep right and turn left"! Of course it doesn't make sense and I ended up going somewhere else!
This is the expensive Smart Tunnel which I have no intention to use but I got in there because of the GPS system. I don't blame the system but myself! It was fun! I went from Inti College in Nilai to Nottingham University in Semenyi without a problem. The system navigated me through a short cut... a country road. I thought the system is crazy! The most important thing is that I managed to get to the destination.

  1. hehe Uncle William, u need to play around and configure it a bit to suit your need, i.e. use fastest way, use hiway...

  2. Choo: All programmed by Jonathan. I asked him "which mode did you use", he will tell me that it is shortest or fastest, etc. Anyway, that is learning.
