QUOTE(kc3832 @ Jul 17 2010, 12:07 PM) If you've tinted the wind screen of your car with v-cool, you can pretty much forget about using your iPhone as a gps guide unit. It doesn't work in my car... others GPS also does not work... expensive stuff but restriction, i duno y ppl still get it...   BTW SmartTAG also does not work... QUOTE(Bobdog118 @ Jul 17 2010, 11:08 PM) Haha! V-Cool tinted film contains toooo much metal material. Even u get a GPS devices also wun work... Not d IP prob dude +1 |

QUOTE(jingyong @ Jul 25 2010, 08:58 AM) Diff ppl may have diff experiences.. just to tell you i own a Papago R5800 for 1 yr+ already... if you say the coordinates locking is slow then pls prepare to face that problem as all GPS unit are slow too it takes up to 5~10 minutes depends on the sky clearance (cloudy or clear or raining) and also ur system (suspended ur system, after restart it search ur current position faster than overall shutdown)... all others Garmin or China branded also same also and it's battery will not last more than 4 hours if intensive use (drive in city and urban got different result as city more turn to turn guide and urban more straight forward)... I used Papago before.. 1. Usually take very long to lock down the GPS signal.. Even it's locked, when drive through trees, buildings, it will lag and cant show the accurate position.. 2. The user interface is too laggy.. will crash if u press too fast on searching.. lol 3. Currently MFM latest map does not support iPhone yet and hence need to wait few more weeks or months for them to support iPhone version.. 4. Battery drained too fast.. if u use GPS, call, SMS, u wont last for a day.. So conclusion is.. When u get into ur car, start Papago, start engine, the signal is still not locked.. then how? U wanna sit there and wait for the signal to lock only drive? Or u wanna drive a while then when signal locked then stop at road side then only search? I seldom use Papago nowadays since the speed is main prob for me.. I would buy a dedicated GPS unit if i really need the routing.. Iphone 3G Iphone OS 3.1.2 non-JB I had used GPS inside SG town area (cloudy during that time) where all the tall buildings around u, the signal is weak and it can't give you an exact location... so do not expect magic also if you are using dedicated system  |
