Recommended Nuvi model for Pinas

[Python]

Hi there, newbee here from California. I have been browsing this forum since I registered yesterday and must say lots of helpful information. Hats off to all the contributor and admin in this forum.
One question though, what is the appropriate Nuvi minimum model recommended for Pinas using the Roadguide map you folks are doing? I plan to purchase a unit to keep in Pinas as I travel there twice a year to take care of business and travel around. Appreciate the help.

minimum... nuvi 205 which cost around 85 usd

I assume 205 is way below 265W? I use 265 here in Calif. Thanks

No need to buy another one, IMO. Just load the roadguide map on your 265W and bring it along on your trip.

Sirs, I'm also new here. I'm also planning to get a Garmin GPS in the states, would you recommend this for use here in the Philippines:

Garmin nüvi 260W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator



Thanks

welcome to roadguide
260w is an old model and discontinued by garmin and also might not be able to record 1 sec. track

go for those units that ends in 5. e.g. 205w, 255w, 265w
the W as you already know stands for wide screen

205, 205w, 255, 255w and 1300. none of the FM one's its more expensive and you will never get to use it here.

265w does have 1-sec tracking capability. at least those that were bought from the US.
