Simple. Just follow the instructions here at Garmin Nuvi 200 Track Hack | NerdBoys. Perfect for documenting a travel itinerary. That Garmin Nuvi 200 device is really one of my favorite gadgets. Certainly useful.
Good review and info here too : http://gpsfreak.blogspot.com/2007/12/garmin-nuvi-200.html
All nicely explained here. I am going to test this. The Device I use is a GPS from Garmin. Nuvi 200. Best gadget I ever got. Obtained it from Mediaplex Sdn Bhd.
Basically tracking option is free and it is a great feature to reconstruct your route on google earth map.

If you live in Malaysia/Singapore like me check out http://www.malsingmaps.com/. Lot's of tips there. The free wifi hotspot for Malaysia POI list is great to have and so is the speedtrap POI.

We are using this now. It's great, since there is no matsalleh 500 RM fee to be paid, as is the case with streamyx and you don't need to have a fixed phone-number either. On top of that it's portable. We linked this to the second internet gateway running concurrent to the existing streamyx connection. Works perfect. The reason why we looked for an other internet connection is that we got so fed up with the sub standard level of service by Streamyx. It's not that I "hate" streamyx, but basically it took them two months before they could supply the 2mb line and then I bumped into Justin from Izzi who gave us a demo-set without cables, it worked immediately and well that is how it works. Streamyx is obviously more widespread, but I would keep my eyes open for these smaller more service oriented providers.
This www.izzi.com.my Iburst technology is perfect for the Klang Valley in Kuala Lumpur.

I have been using Streamyx in Malaysia for about 5 years now. Basically because there was nothing much else affordable. But that situation of monopoly by Telecom Malaysia has been broken the past few years...
Basically, I still use streamyx, but lately I started looking at www.izzi.com.my, who uses Mobile Wireless Broadband. I noticed them on the computerfairs multiple times and lately I met Justin Seah Kok Yew, (justinseah@izzi.net.my) who gave a convincing demonstration and lended us two test-unit for some days, to see it would do the trick. And so it did. It's working and very simple. No cable, no hustle, no complicated configurations. Basically we are talking plug and play here, not the plug and pray like I had to witness one too many times already with streamyx... Sorry to say so.
I don't easily recommend providers, but we have been having soo much trouble with our fixed line lately (i am talking being disconnected for like 4 days in a row) so how can you explain that to a customer who just upgraded their line from 88 rm to 600 rm and they still get the same speed. Right. You can't explain that. Nothing to do with Malaysia by the way. More something with the way how streamyx sells their product to the market.
I think that many companies will consider (and they should look at other options, than just coppercable) and ammend if not switch the coppercable for something modern.
More to come later on the Izzi Box, but I can already tell that it's working perfect and gave me no headaches (yet), something I cannot always say from streamyx...
Here is the www.izzi.com.my speed-test I did. Seems acceptable.
As gotten from www.ideahouse.com.my. Nice stuff. Nice gift. Made from Rubberwood.

I was just passing by in Central market, Kuala Lumpur. They are constantly renovating the place and adding more modern innovative things. For example these
From Falcon I think. And it does not need water. The sign said something like that these system that don't use water save us a lot of water. I wonder how they keep it clean.
Interesting innovation.
I also like the mirror system on the wall
Very nie.
«Zecco.com, an online financial portal, today announced it will begin offering free online stock trading next week. The site is already open for user registration, though it will remain in beta until the launch of free- trading, Zecco spokeswoman Shellee Smith told internetnews.com. Smith said Zecco can afford to offer zero-commission trading because it plans to earn its revenue elsewhere, and because it won't be spending a lot of money on traditional marketing methods. Instead, Zecco wants to go viral.»

We saw a whole bunch of Chinese Lanterns in Central market. It was some kind of competition. This one I call the Malaysia Boleh Chinese Lantern. Nicely renewed also the central market. Has now it’s own Little India, China Straits, Malay Street. A sample.
The big ones costed about like 150 / piece. The small ones, I did not ask. Nice stuff anyways.
