GPS IN CABS
-
Are most cabs equipped with GPS? Or the GPS is installed by the Hirer?
-
Only Comfort has got GPS .
The rest no .

MY GPS Made-in-Singapore .
Made in 1969 .
No brand , but very effective , no need update one .

Unless he hand over his NRIC , then totally dead this GPS .

thanks guys..
i only just send in my application to lta.. so long way to go for me.. but i hope to become a taxi driver by this year..
i analyse it and the only pressure i may face is when customers board the taxi and ur mind becomes blank... so GPS is there to help for newbies...
any idea how much it cost to install one?

Rotary has got a very good one , got live update on traffic jams .
But i like Rotary's style , keep GPS in drawer , need than ON !
This should be the way , try out without a GPS , less reliance on GPS .
Bo pian then use GPS .
Always start to read those roads by yourself .
Second option is by Street directory .
Third option is through friends or buddy .
4th then GPS .

Curtis Peh , my Jurong West buddy , rely too much on GPS , until now , about coming 2 years on the road , he still cannot figure out Singapore .
-
In fact for me , Comfort's GPS is good enough .
Once u reached that area , just follow arrow .....
Like pax going to Sembawang Park from Suntec .
U will travel KPE exit PIE ( Jurong ) , from there go CTE , this normal route u need GPS ? Pls la .
Then SLE , u then ask exit where when near ?
Or asked : " I new , just guide me along . "
When reached Sembawang , then follow pax's instructions .
GPS ? No need la .

yah agree with pool, 1st 2 mths i drive rely on GPS then
i take out nber use at all i find i learn the places much faster.
Now if cannot find i juz flip thru directory/ask frens or best ask the pax

kc , u r wrong leh, that comfort gps is not really consider as GPS , for me it seem like a digital street directory only cos it dun guide u where to turn , which exit to take de, it was a useless thing.i been driving comfort more than 1yrs+ , i dun use it at all b4. the GPS only when on call, it will show a red line leading to the destination, that stupid red line can cut thru all building , road , expressway de , if suay suay tio those private estate then jia lat liao... it will be even more worst if u need to go those area which will one way traffic de ...another thing, the gps updating is very very slow as in the arrow indicating ur vehicle move like turtle sia , how to rely on it ... my Asus Pda phone is much better in navigation than the comfort turtle system ... i can even use it to chat in msn messenger if i within those WiFi hotspot... hehe ....

Agree with you guys... just that driving a private car and taxi will be totally different.. driving your own car anyhow also can as long as can reach but driving taxi, face pressure from customers on the faster way lah etc.. i guess driving taxi is a lot of patience, confidence and high eq, if not after kana f*** by customer, no mood to drive and lose confidence on yourself. That is why i thot GPS might boost your confidence a bit cos you know there is something to reply on in the event that your mind in a blank when customers tell you their destination..
i almost everyday come to this forum and read.. very interesting and got me thinking to become a taxi driver cos i damn sian in my current job... i dun mind working many more hours than i do now to only earn maybe the same as now or even lower but important thing i believe is ai happy nia... want to get out of office politics.. cannot tahan..

I'm so use using GPS. Not to know how to go but to estimate the distance of turning. Like at PIE exit BKE always long Q so when GPS read 200m i slowly eat in.

when my time , u just type in eg , coronation road west , then set . The arrow will show you . No need on call .
And also they will tell you " where i am" .

true la. dependin much on gadget you never learn truely, never unless within 2 wks you going same route twice or more or you gana F hard hard by someone for not remembering! rd directory is gd, but going thru those routes practically makes all d diff for own gd! gps gd to locate funny rd names or familiar ones which slip out of thy mind suddenly...on its nearest proximity to that main rd which you're gd at!
-
i rely heavily on the map in the IVT coz its impossible for me to remember all the block numbers of the road.
without it , my in built GPS is only 65% efficient

For TIo Call Liao , his GPS Made-in-Tuas , very effective in Tuas .
Memory power 500GB ,
Processing speed also 10/10 rating .
No fight .
Tuas i a bit rusty ..... still can manage , sometime at Gul Circle still lost .

I think i really have no problem in town , in HDB and private housing .
But i do fear most is Kovan area .... those lowlands , those highlands , those Richards Ave , those Flower Road , those Lim Ah Pin Road , those Simon Road , Kang Choo Bin Road , Philips Ave .

Soi told him : " U exit after Corporation Road , that exit is called Jurong Pier Road , Jurong Pier Road , u just go straight !!! Don't turn , left side u'll see Jurong Bird Park sign . Turn left ! "
But after 10 minutes , he told me he landed at Jurong Island Guard house !!!
