I bought this item (GARMIN 010-11114-00 City Navigator Southeast Asia NT) in July of 2008 for travel in Thailand and Malaysia. Let's just say that I was driving on roads/streets/highways that doesn't even exist on this map. I don't mean traveling on a "newly" built roads/streets/highways. I mean the roads/streets/highways existed 10 to 15 years ago. Some existed decades ago!!! And some doesn't even exist anymore. I once set a destination for a well known seafood restaurant and the map took me to a dead-ended street and to cross the water to get to the restaurant. And no the roadway was not flooded!!! And how do I know about these existent you might ask. Well, I don't. But my family that lives there does. The information and detail in this map need to be updated. Don't waste your money on this product until Garmin update it. Currently, this is version 3.
Another thing, the English translation of the local names will have you pee in your pants from laughing so hard. Have you ever heard of Tinglish? Thai+English=Tinglish
Maybe you should buy this product for the laughs it generate and new and exciting adventure that await you when you're in a hurry to get to your destination.
Best regard,
Steve

I used the map in Malaysia at the moment, it considered comprehensive and covered most of the street in KL and Klang Valley in details. I once did the cross-state drive along the west Malaysia coast line, it managed to bring me to destination without any problems.

While Garmin does it's best, life on the ground seems to have changed when compared to what the Garmin knows about it.

While this isn't uncommon even in the less traveled areas of the US, MOST of SE Asia is very remote, so you end up with a collection of places, most of which are either shuttered or are simply something else.

And in countries where most of the business are unregistered, getting to the hotel or restaurant on the Garmin often leads you through backroads behind Hotels and Restaurants that are just as good or BETTER than the ones you are looking for.

Unlike the US where businesses register and keep their electronic and goverment information up-to-date, SE Asia is the opposite (for tax and cultural reasons) and this turns the Garmin more into a 2nd or 3rd reference.

Where it excels is with the Big Business, the places that don't move, but once again, for some reason it leaves out VAST amounts of business. If it was at LEAST as good as the Lonely Planet Guide, I'd consider it worth the money, but as it is, I consider it a waste.

Maybe Garmin should get together with Lonely Planet and offer a Lonely Planet's Road Guide? Because as it is I found it useless when compared to it's US Version.
