N95 is older version chipset & the antenna is hidden too deep to get the best signal. So u really have to stand long outside hot sun, wityhout any blocking trees & building to get satelite fix..can be as long as 10min for 1st time, once got it, getting fix the nxt time ~3min. Otherwise, u need to activate your AGPS (need 3G/GPRS hor & not free)..that way faster.

Added on November 6, 2009, 10:54 amGoto malfreemaps.com download page, download the latest maps (Evgery monday), install by following screen instruction, but do remember the folder u generate the "gmapsupp.img: file as screen instruction. Thereafter, just to to that folder, copy "gmapsupp.img" & paste to your Nuvi garmin folder...it will overide your old maps. So if u wanna keeps the old one, copy & paste the old gmapsupp out sopmewhere..

What actually happen to Nokia S60 R5 in 5800 are few apparent bugs that till the end of Garmin MXT era yet to be fixed for eg...u kenot type ;'/?$@& keys otherwise system crashed & they have yet to resolve the browse maps function i.e whenever u drag the maps elsewhere also crash!!

Currently Garmin has stop developing garmin MXT thus no more bugs fixing for Garmin MXT in newer Nokia phone except older S60 R3 such as N78, N79, B82, N95 & more...meaning dun buy new version of symbian if u wannna stable Garmin MXT.

i got n79 also i wan throw liao. lock fast but not accurate for what.



basically i've tried the gps on most nokia phones, ranging from 6220c to some e-series and n-series. all also not accurate. all mostly give fei kei readings. make my track logs look like crap only.

6220c is one of the best. 1 sec tracks look very decent for a cheap plasticky phone with xenon camera. N79 can go sau pei la. even my n79 also i vomit blood.
E66 another fei kei positioning like N79. and when i see stimix's 5800xm, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, its a phone i shall avoid my whole life.
n85 quite ok. comparable to 6220c's standard. and i think stimix used to have n82, didnt hear him complain much bout his 82's accuracy.

This is a normal thing for all garmin phones. Because the only way the gps know which direction u are going is when ure moving not stand still. I dont see a problem for this. It only happen when u stop. When ure moving it will be on track again.
