Get a Garmin with philippine map and upgradable data. I also using this on my car. But if you want you can use an application like WAZE but it works only if you have a unlimited data plan.

Yea i don want to mess with using phone or ipad, i prefer a dedicated GPS as well. What model do you have by chance?

What kind of mount are you using for the bike?

nuvi 2527 bro, kinda bulky for a bike but works well, I am using a spider mount ordered to my friend from uk. This is a universal mount both bike and car. But beware of getting a garmin, there are so many counterfeit. So if you are planning to get a new 1 go to some trusted car accessories like blade.

mobile phone size... and the good thing, it only needs 2 AA batteries...
Thanks @Gerry,

I did some checking and it seems that Garmin provides updates online for free for GPS' bought locally and only a few key models. I emailed them yesterday and still no response.

Roger! Suction cup that goes with the set. Its an old model Navigon 2100 Max I used in the States. Not Phil map installed. Porma use only whenever (at night...stupid huh. hehehe). Suction cup keeps the unit steady. But never tried/tested it while moving at 150kph. My bike won't reach that speed anyway. Hahahaha!
