What do you mean Sylvia Palvary? You have already a GPS device and look for the maps for Bali for it? Or you need a specific tracking device? Either way – I’m sorry, but I’m probably the wrong person to help you with these requests. It would depend on the manufacturer of your GPS device. Or you simply have to make sure when buying one, that it contains map data for Bali as well.

Try GPS devices with sirf starIII in its GPS specifications. It is very sensitive, even in urban places like Ayala, makati or even under trees or inside cars or inside rooms. You will be surprised sirf starIII works.

GPS tracking devices do not usually work in most spots here in the Philippines

It can only get better over time. I remember a day when digital cameras consumed batteries like it was nothing. Nowadays they last a long time in comparisons.

I have GPS on my Nokia N90 but I don’t use it that much

I think it would end up being something that was cool and new at first but after having to whip it out 20 times you would get tired of it

You have to laugh – for years I have been tracking my travels: I buy a map and a pen, sometimes the pen becomes defective and I have to buy a new one! GPS receivers have their place but I don’t see it in the back of my backpack any time soon!
