Katsikoters, just wanna ask if the GPS (Global Positioning System) is already available here in our country? Kasi dito sa US the said item is very much helpful in locating places. It will lead you from your point of origin to the point of your destination. Just type the exact address. So kahit bago ka sa lugar, theres no way na maliligaw ka. They are optional accessory when you buy a brand new vehicle or you can also buy portable ones where u can install it in any type of vehicles you like. I could say na affordable din sila, meron $200+ yung cheapest.
I hope magkaroon na din tayo nito dito kung wala pa.

GPS service is available (since it is based on many geostationary satellites orbiting the planet) but depends on your device/software if they have a map for the Philippines.
For now, I doubt if you can find a GPS navigation system as an option to a new car. Best you can do is a portable unit like the TomTom or even Nokia N95 or 6110-Navigator. A bit more pricey but if you already have a laptop computer, you can get a GPS antenna and software.

GH, meron na bang Philippine map ang TomTom? Would be great news if it does. TomTom is a great software. Plus, you can use the maps on different platforms - standalone units, PDA's and cellphones use the same map files. As easy as copy/paste.

archangel_1911 - If you're planning to buy a US unit to use in the Philippines, make sure that it has an available Philippine map. The unit should accept additional maps or at least replace the one built-in, as some cheaper satnav units won't allow you to do that.
Here's the existing thread on local satnavs:
