Agree with Jaykay, in the built up area's of Hong Kong, GPS gear just doesn't work reliably enough for use in car. I use Sygic for turn by turn GPS info out here in the NT, Lantau, etc and it has worked faultlessly.
If I am on HK island and on foot, I find that Google maps works generally well enough to get by, although it doesn't accurately find your actual position, a bit flaky but good enough to to find streets from, using your known street location as a reference.
But overall, have to say that Sygic GPS software matched with the Sammy G II, works a treat in every other regard, where it isn't canyoned by high rise buildings ( which blocks the satellite signal in narrow HKG streets, of course.
It works fine in city's where the streets are wider, had no issues in Paris or Melbourne in the CBD or outer periphery.

now that Tomtom has launched its traffic service in hong kong http://corporate.tomtom.com/released...leaseID=937236
to the current tomtom users, how good is the actual traffic service?
I have it all the online services active on my TomTom but nothing seems to work. No speed cameras or traffic. So far not impressed!
Yes. I'd stick with google maps. Tomtom is a decent GPS (nice screen, quick to find signal etc) but the maps are out of date and the online services are patchy at best.
