No doubt garmin is the best dedicated GPS around the world comparing to a Made in Taiwan holux. Although both of em seems to have almost the same functionality but Garmin sure price higher -.- Original maps from Garmin are pricey and it losts out to the malsing maps provided free from the malsing community consisting of malaysian and singaporean contributors. However, one would need to contribute to get the latest updates unlock code to be able to utilise the maps. Another thing is Garmin original map do not update as frequent.
As for holux, it provide FREE updates for their map and the maps used are from SLA (Singapore Land Authority) which means it is the best there is out there. However, it will lost out when you intend to use it up north to the Malsing maps.
Garmin design looks sleeker with a nice branding as well but the cost and map contributing to malsing is detering me from getting it. Holux with free updates and lower price with the same functions seems to be a good buy.
