i had serious problems with garmin when i was in subang last week.. it was raining and i could not get any signal at all... i guess it could be the rain clouds

have just updated to v31 few days ago and i am reading all these garmin horror stories, yikes.. i rely a lot on gps to get around as my job requires me to travel... i did use garmin yesterday and it was ok, took about one to two minutes to lock on and signal was steady throughout the journey

will try again tomorrow

Does any taikors know if there is a reliable ebook reader for the tube? i have an ebook in pdf format but i can't seem to find any app which can open it. Have gone through page 1 and tried looking around but still no luck so far.

Any recommendations is appreciated.

ps, pls add me to the red team

Thanks for all the feedback on the ebook reader... guess have to dig some more on the net.. trial and error then.. cheers!

bro, i downloaded the app but can't install because of cert problem.. any advice for me? sorry, i m new at these things

guys, to enable the option for A-GPS, i need to select 'Always Ask" in the positioning server use option? and also have 3G connectivity on all the time?

thanks, much appreciated

Just to share my garmin experience today. Was using it on my drive to KL, had lost satellite reception, unable to calculate route (!) and re-calculating route the whole morning! and couple of times when signal was lost, it remained lost and never came back on

Has to re-enter the destination many times and best part was i was near bangi area when the signal lost and came back on and indicated i was driving along jalan reko, kajang when i was on the north south highway!

Later in the afternoon was back to normal.. man, this is scary, and btw, i was not using a-gps. i guess normal GPS devices still are more reliable then phone based gps devices

Anyone using garmin on the tube to get to a destination should have a back up map on hand just in case if not sure about the route options

hahaha, i know bro, oh well, good thing also dedicated GPS devices are getting cheaper these days but to have in the tube is good also la, coz never know when will come in handy but the problems i faced today was indeed a first time after using it for about 3 months already
