my friend teach me this trick on how to get faster i-GPS(without aGPS)lock...
i've tried it twice already and its get locking under 1min...
not sure if this 100% working or not.. maybe more ppl can try this and feedback...
The logic as he explain it:-
AGPS actualy send the coordinate of the base station and the satelite use the base location to try locking your set within the base station radius... so what he ask me todo is to enter the starting coordinate in garmin where you are...
Example... If you go from point A to reach point B and turn off garmin. The initial location is set to B.
So if you gone to C and try to i-gps... the initial satel will look 4 u in point B thats why sometimes it need to wait long before it rediscover you in C...
Ok... here's the step:-
1: goto where to go -> Position -> enter the position coordinates..
2: goto setting -> System -> Remote GPS -> GPS Info -> New Location -> OK
i've tested it at my house location coordinate where i retrieve it from the My Location menu....
note the usual weather condition & no. of hovering satellite still play a major factor....
so.. try it out and see it works for you or not..... as previously it was impossible 4 me to get i-gps even at home during a clear by sky time...
let us know your result ya....
