What Are The Positioning Methods On GPS?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Phones that are capable of using GPS (Global Positioning System) will have several different methods of positioning. You can select which positioning methods you use by going to Menu> Tools> Settings> General> Positioning> Positioning Methods.
1. Integrated GPS - This refers to a phone's built in GPS receiver. GPS satellites continuously transmit their location relative to the Earth, and your phone's GPS receiver can calculate its own position if it knows the position of at least three satellites. Today, almost all N- and E-series phones have integrated GPS, plus a selection of 6xxx phones.
2. Bluetooth GPS - If you do not have integrated GPS or you wish to improve GPS reception, you can connect your phone to an external GPS receiver device which can replace or complement Integrated GPS.
3. Assisted GPS - This is a network-based service used to help fix a GPS position. When using this, small amounts of data are transmitted so you need a network-based internet service from your network operator for which you may be charged by the download volume. Only small amounts of data are involved, but you should take care using this feature if you are travelling outside your own country as roaming data charges can be high.
4. Network-based - whenever your phone is switched on and in range of your operator's network, it knows which base station (commonly known as the transmitter or mast) it is connected to, and using that information it can approximate your position using this network data. This is an additional help in obtaining a GPS fix, and it also makes a brief data connection.
Recommended to use (1) and (3) only chargeable of RM0.10 cents per connection for normal plan user and Free for unlimited data plan user.
A number of factors can affect your phone's ability to obtain its GPS position:
- First time use - Fresh out the box, it may take 15-20 minutes for your phone to get its first ever GPS fix, longer in extreme cases. - Built-up areas - if you are in a city with many tall buildings, they may interrupt the signals from the GPS satellites and make it harder to obtain and maintain a fix. - Weather - adverse weather conditions, particularly heavy cloud, can affect the strength of the GPS signals getting through from the satellites. - Receiver location - Do you own an N95 or N95 8Gb? Your GPS receiver is under the keypad, so ensure you always have the slider open when using GPS. - Your Windscreen - Heat-reflective (athermic) windscreens common in Citroën, Peugeot and Renault cars can interfere with GPS signals, as can windscreen heating elements often found in Ford cars. If you have one of these, an external GPS receiver or signal booster can be very useful.

Theory Time For The GPS Mystery
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
For us to getting the first GPS location fix, there are 3 requirement need to be fulfill:
1. The time the message was sent 2. Precise orbital information (the ephemeris) 3. The general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac).
To simplify its meaning: 1. The time on ur devices and the time of the satellite 2. The satelite actual time data (need to keep the devices syn with the satellite) 3. The satelite orbits location at certain time (how many satellite will possible visible by the devices) GPS fix steps:
1. During the cold GPS device startup (devices reboot), the phone dont have all 3 data and it will try to scan through all 32 GPS satellite signal signature (that's why an open space needed to let the phone detected as many satellite as possible)
2. The phone then will download all those available satellite signal and do calculation (no.2), this is where the a-GPS come in handy where if u let it connect to our sp 3g then the phone will just send a msg to the sp 3g tower and request the (no. 2) data, where all those 3g tower will report it's location to the Nokia / Google positioning server and download the rough location on the GPS fix then the tower will send this (no. 2) data back to our phone.
3. If no A-GPS then the phone will have to download those (no.2) data manually (mean very slow) and I can tell for those a few bytes satellite data will need to take about 10mins with the satellite signal strength about full (mean if u open the Garmin satellite status those bar need to hit about full bar) if the satellite signal strength are lower (mean less then full bar) then the signal data accquiring will take up 15mins~30mins to be downloaded (same a few bytes data) for ~4kb we can get all 32 satellites (no.2) data.
4. Once the (no.2) data downloaded the signal bar will turn to solid (a fix already capture) and the phone already can syn with the satellite.
5. Remember all those satellite signal will need to collect 1 by 1 (although run at parallel) if no A-GPS enable.
6. If got A-GPS then ALL 32 satellite (no.2) data will be provide by the supp. server (~4kb) and your phone will able to lock every satellite that come in view.
Those (no.2) data wont be delete as long as ur phone not reboot. and everytime u open the GPS apps the same data will be use back and the phone only do minor calculation and can get the fix, this wont work out if u reopen after a few hours because the satellite previously lock already out of sigh (all satellite orbiting very fast)
So now you know where although we seen got a FULL BAR for the satellite strength but still cant get a fast fix, it's because the satellite manual downloading through the GPS chip are VERY SLOW (a few bytes will need 10 minutes to be completed). DO NOT MOVE AROUND WHEN YOU DO THIS!
1. Shutdown ur phone 2. Reboot the phone 3. Go to an open space 4. Disable the a-GPS and network under the LOCATIONS apps 5. Run Garmin XT 6. Go into the the satellite status view screen (in Garmin) 7. Start ur timer and observe those FULL BAR satellite (strong signal) 8. At least 4 satellites needed for Garmin to start calculating minimum requirement. 9. Wait till the bar turn to solid (anyone of it). 10. Stop ur timer.
Sometimes lucky and might get a faster time that's because it' not sure a reboot will 'confirmed" deleted the satellite cache (No.2) data or not but for a cold start it can make sure you will able to lock the GPS in 10 minutes for a single satellite (the signal strengh must be high).

A-GPS Charges Varies
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
A-GPS charges once per lock u get on the specific coordinate captured by satellite. The charges may also increase on below situation:
You locked position at home, moving towards KLCC. Upon reaching Subang Jaya using federal highway, the satellite lost you device detection and no GPS available. Then the lock is gained again when you reach Kelana Jaya. In this situation, u were moving and the distance is quite far and possible to immediate lock is a less chance. In this case you get 2 locks using A-GPS that means u gotta pay RM0.20 cents.
Celcom, Maxis and DiGi reports that A-GPS charges are RM0.10 cents per 10KB

Address Finding Issue After Installation

It seems to be a small issue, where by Nokia might wants the user to go online search for the first time on the Nokia Maps before subsequent searches are performed offline mode. This may due to device authentication data sent online to Nokia for log purpose. Once the first time online search ends, close Nokia OVI Maps and do an offline search. It works !
Nokia OVI Maps Online & Offline Map Searching Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
1. Setup your WiFi setting. 2. Verify the WiFi functionality (browse some web page). 3. Set the WiFi as 1st priority inside the destination (internet) setting. 4. Set the WiFi as the default access point (for the internet). 5. Delete the WAP / MMS / STREAMING settings and left the 3G Internet (as 2nd priority inside the internet setting). 6. Edit the 3G internet setting and change the "password prompt" to YES. 7. Load up the maps loader. 8. Click on the delete maps from storage. 9. Reload in the maps (at least the malaysia map must be selected). 10. Load as well the voice guidance file. 11. Wait for all the downloading and uploading finished. 12. Run Location and disable the agps and network under positioning setting. 13. Run the OVI maps. 14. When the 3G internet prompt up select cancel (do not connect) (if it still pop up, suppose wont because we already disable A-GPS and network in Location setting). 15. Go to setting and change the internet to online. 16. Select appropiate voice guidance file. 17. Go outside where more satelite can be search. 18. Now go to my location and wait for the satelite to get a fix (might be take long since no agps) 19. Make sure the red dot are "IN MALAYSIA". 20. Change maps mode as SATELITE view to try the WiFi can download the satelite image (to ensure WiFi is working). 21. Once confirm WiFi working switch back to maps view. 22. Walk around and you will see the GPS is working already (since it already lock, red dot will turn SOLID RED and satellite bar should be green).
The most useful for the 3G internet password prompt when agps and network positioning enable: 1. Select YES during the password prompt you will have A-GPS (fast lock with charges). 2. Select CANCEL during the password prompt you will have full I-GPS (slow lock but FOC).
Steps 18 and 19 are needed because sometime during the first time OVI maps run it will set it "previous' location as some where maybe not within Malaysia and if this happen and you dont have those location maps downloaded in the database then it will direct download from the internet and who know which access point it gonna use (if it use 3G internet then you will lost lots of phone credits for those huge maps data), confirm this if you dont have the maps data install it will direct download the file.

Inserting Multiple Maps - Garmin XT
During my research into GarminXT and finding maps for it, I've come across some information which may be very useful to those you want to keep more than one country map on their device. For those of you who are not confident in using the Hack Toolset (cgpsmapper, gmaptool and maptoolsetkit programs) to make the IMG maps readable by the Garmin MapSource program.
Instructions: 1. Name the <map1>.img to gmapbmap.img and place in Garmin folder. 2. Rename <map2>.img to gmapprom.img and place in Garmin folder. 3. Rename <map3>.img to gmapsupp.img and place in Garmin folder. 4. Rename <map4>.img to gmapsup2.img and place in Garmin folder. 5. Rename <map5>.img to gmapsupp.img and place in <MEMORYCARD>:\Garmin\Apps
This last map doesn't always work though.
You can check that everything is working by opening GarminXT>Tools>Manage Maps and all maps should be showing.
Garmin XT Mobile Battery Draining Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
This it seem is due to a background process that Garmin Mobile XT starts upon boot up of your Symbian operating system as well as upon running of the Mobile XT software. Things you will need to verify if you are affected by this background process.
1. An installed version of Garmin Mobile XT
2. Kill Me or JBakTaskMan Step 1 - Select the process TSRAutoStart.exe Step 2 - Select Menu -> Terminate process (Or any related end task command)
How to prevent TSRAutostart from auto loading upon boot up. Step 1 - Plug mobile phone to PC under Mass Storage mode (! important as directories used are otherwise hidden) Step 2 - Delete file CardRunner.RSC in directory under Mobile Phone\Resource\plugins\CardRunner.RSC Step 3 - Delete the file CardRunner.dll in directory under Mobile Phone\sys\bin\CardRunner.dll
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The new Garmin XT kills the battery life on our phones. There is a program called TSRAutostart.exe that is draining the battery. If you have jbtaskman and kill the process, it will just start again when you restart your phone. Here is a solution to stop that file from automatically starting, thus greatly increasing your battery life.
To stop that file from restarting, plug your phone into your computer and use the mass storage setting. Then, delete these two files
This will stop that battery hog file from starting up. If you install jbtaskman you can kill the process after your run garmin. This will increase your battery.
As of version 5.0.0.40, this background process is now an option that can be switched off, saving you the trouble of killing the process each time you run Garmin. Start GMobileXT, goto Tools -> Settings -> System, scroll down all the way till you see the option "Launch background service" and select Disabled then Done to save.

Searching by address in the Malaysian maps, whether Malfreemaps or Malsingmaps takes some patience and effort. Tried this in Garmin Mobile XT.
Do an address search, spell country as Malaysia, then search all cities. Don’t enter a house number, this almost always doesn’t work in Malaysia, ie. skip this, by pressing Next. In the "Street" screen, simply enter "SS 20/13" without the quotes, no need to type in Jalan or Lorong, or whatever. In this case, in the whole of Malaysia, there’s only one "SS 20/13" so only one search result is displayed, and clicking on it will bring you to the detailed map !

You need to back up the existing GARMIN folder on your memory card, which are the map files, as well as any POIs that you have created and the settings are in there. The license file for the new phone should be a different one and you can’t use the one for the existing one for the new phone, unless your Garmin XT MObile came in an official SD card.
The fastest way to test is to copy the entire garmin folder across to the new memory card. The problem is, you have to reinstall the Garmin software again, after successfull installation, delete the new E:\GARMIN folder entirely and replace with the old ones that you did backup from old phone.
Also, finally get back the license key from Garmin to be able for you use the Internal GPS if you have purchased the Garmin XT Mobile previously.

What Are The Positioning Methods On GPS?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
Phones that are capable of using GPS (Global Positioning System) will have several different methods of positioning. You can select which positioning methods you use by going to Menu> Tools> Settings> General> Positioning> Positioning Methods.
1. Integrated GPS - This refers to a phone's built in GPS receiver. GPS satellites continuously transmit their location relative to the Earth, and your phone's GPS receiver can calculate its own position if it knows the position of at least three satellites. Today, almost all N- and E-series phones have integrated GPS, plus a selection of 6xxx phones.
2. Bluetooth GPS - If you do not have integrated GPS or you wish to improve GPS reception, you can connect your phone to an external GPS receiver device which can replace or complement Integrated GPS.
3. Assisted GPS - This is a network-based service used to help fix a GPS position. When using this, small amounts of data are transmitted so you need a network-based internet service from your network operator for which you may be charged by the download volume. Only small amounts of data are involved, but you should take care using this feature if you are travelling outside your own country as roaming data charges can be high.
4. Network-based - whenever your phone is switched on and in range of your operator's network, it knows which base station (commonly known as the transmitter or mast) it is connected to, and using that information it can approximate your position using this network data. This is an additional help in obtaining a GPS fix, and it also makes a brief data connection.
Recommended to use (1) and (3) only chargeable of RM0.10 cents per connection for normal plan user and Free for unlimited data plan user.
A number of factors can affect your phone's ability to obtain its GPS position:
- First time use - Fresh out the box, it may take 15-20 minutes for your phone to get its first ever GPS fix, longer in extreme cases. - Built-up areas - if you are in a city with many tall buildings, they may interrupt the signals from the GPS satellites and make it harder to obtain and maintain a fix. - Weather - adverse weather conditions, particularly heavy cloud, can affect the strength of the GPS signals getting through from the satellites. - Receiver location - Do you own an N95 or N95 8Gb? Your GPS receiver is under the keypad, so ensure you always have the slider open when using GPS. - Your Windscreen - Heat-reflective (athermic) windscreens common in Citroën, Peugeot and Renault cars can interfere with GPS signals, as can windscreen heating elements often found in Ford cars. If you have one of these, an external GPS receiver or signal booster can be very useful.

1. The time the message was sent 2. Precise orbital information (the ephemeris) 3. The general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac).
To simplify its meaning: 1. The time on ur devices and the time of the satellite 2. The satelite actual time data (need to keep the devices syn with the satellite) 3. The satelite orbits location at certain time (how many satellite will possible visible by the devices) GPS fix steps:
1. During the cold GPS device startup (devices reboot), the phone dont have all 3 data and it will try to scan through all 32 GPS satellite signal signature (that's why an open space needed to let the phone detected as many satellite as possible)
2. The phone then will download all those available satellite signal and do calculation (no.2), this is where the a-GPS come in handy where if u let it connect to our sp 3g then the phone will just send a msg to the sp 3g tower and request the (no. 2) data, where all those 3g tower will report it's location to the Nokia / Google positioning server and download the rough location on the GPS fix then the tower will send this (no. 2) data back to our phone.
3. If no A-GPS then the phone will have to download those (no.2) data manually (mean very slow) and I can tell for those a few bytes satellite data will need to take about 10mins with the satellite signal strength about full (mean if u open the Garmin satellite status those bar need to hit about full bar) if the satellite signal strength are lower (mean less then full bar) then the signal data accquiring will take up 15mins~30mins to be downloaded (same a few bytes data) for ~4kb we can get all 32 satellites (no.2) data.
4. Once the (no.2) data downloaded the signal bar will turn to solid (a fix already capture) and the phone already can syn with the satellite.
5. Remember all those satellite signal will need to collect 1 by 1 (although run at parallel) if no A-GPS enable.
6. If got A-GPS then ALL 32 satellite (no.2) data will be provide by the supp. server (~4kb) and your phone will able to lock every satellite that come in view.
Those (no.2) data wont be delete as long as ur phone not reboot. and everytime u open the GPS apps the same data will be use back and the phone only do minor calculation and can get the fix, this wont work out if u reopen after a few hours because the satellite previously lock already out of sigh (all satellite orbiting very fast)
So now you know where although we seen got a FULL BAR for the satellite strength but still cant get a fast fix, it's because the satellite manual downloading through the GPS chip are VERY SLOW (a few bytes will need 10 minutes to be completed). DO NOT MOVE AROUND WHEN YOU DO THIS!
1. Shutdown ur phone 2. Reboot the phone 3. Go to an open space 4. Disable the a-GPS and network under the LOCATIONS apps 5. Run Garmin XT 6. Go into the the satellite status view screen (in Garmin) 7. Start ur timer and observe those FULL BAR satellite (strong signal) 8. At least 4 satellites needed for Garmin to start calculating minimum requirement. 9. Wait till the bar turn to solid (anyone of it). 10. Stop ur timer.
Sometimes lucky and might get a faster time that's because it' not sure a reboot will 'confirmed" deleted the satellite cache (No.2) data or not but for a cold start it can make sure you will able to lock the GPS in 10 minutes for a single satellite (the signal strengh must be high).

A-GPS Charges Varies
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
A-GPS charges once per lock u get on the specific coordinate captured by satellite. The charges may also increase on below situation:
You locked position at home, moving towards KLCC. Upon reaching Subang Jaya using federal highway, the satellite lost you device detection and no GPS available. Then the lock is gained again when you reach Kelana Jaya. In this situation, u were moving and the distance is quite far and possible to immediate lock is a less chance. In this case you get 2 locks using A-GPS that means u gotta pay RM0.20 cents.
Celcom, Maxis and DiGi reports that A-GPS charges are RM0.10 cents per 10KB

Address Finding Issue After Installation

It seems to be a small issue, where by Nokia might wants the user to go online search for the first time on the Nokia Maps before subsequent searches are performed offline mode. This may due to device authentication data sent online to Nokia for log purpose. Once the first time online search ends, close Nokia OVI Maps and do an offline search. It works !
Nokia OVI Maps Online & Offline Map Searching Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
1. Setup your WiFi setting. 2. Verify the WiFi functionality (browse some web page). 3. Set the WiFi as 1st priority inside the destination (internet) setting. 4. Set the WiFi as the default access point (for the internet). 5. Delete the WAP / MMS / STREAMING settings and left the 3G Internet (as 2nd priority inside the internet setting). 6. Edit the 3G internet setting and change the "password prompt" to YES. 7. Load up the maps loader. 8. Click on the delete maps from storage. 9. Reload in the maps (at least the malaysia map must be selected). 10. Load as well the voice guidance file. 11. Wait for all the downloading and uploading finished. 12. Run Location and disable the agps and network under positioning setting. 13. Run the OVI maps. 14. When the 3G internet prompt up select cancel (do not connect) (if it still pop up, suppose wont because we already disable A-GPS and network in Location setting). 15. Go to setting and change the internet to online. 16. Select appropiate voice guidance file. 17. Go outside where more satelite can be search. 18. Now go to my location and wait for the satelite to get a fix (might be take long since no agps) 19. Make sure the red dot are "IN MALAYSIA". 20. Change maps mode as SATELITE view to try the WiFi can download the satelite image (to ensure WiFi is working). 21. Once confirm WiFi working switch back to maps view. 22. Walk around and you will see the GPS is working already (since it already lock, red dot will turn SOLID RED and satellite bar should be green).
The most useful for the 3G internet password prompt when agps and network positioning enable: 1. Select YES during the password prompt you will have A-GPS (fast lock with charges). 2. Select CANCEL during the password prompt you will have full I-GPS (slow lock but FOC).
Steps 18 and 19 are needed because sometime during the first time OVI maps run it will set it "previous' location as some where maybe not within Malaysia and if this happen and you dont have those location maps downloaded in the database then it will direct download from the internet and who know which access point it gonna use (if it use 3G internet then you will lost lots of phone credits for those huge maps data), confirm this if you dont have the maps data install it will direct download the file.
Below is a screenshot shows, full OFFLINE guide, see the GPS INTERNET connection is striked out:

Using Two Maps For Garmin XT Mobile?

Inserting Multiple Maps - Garmin XT
During my research into GarminXT and finding maps for it, I've come across some information which may be very useful to those you want to keep more than one country map on their device. For those of you who are not confident in using the Hack Toolset (cgpsmapper, gmaptool and maptoolsetkit programs) to make the IMG maps readable by the Garmin MapSource program.
Instructions: 1. Name the <map1>.img to gmapbmap.img and place in Garmin folder. 2. Rename <map2>.img to gmapprom.img and place in Garmin folder. 3. Rename <map3>.img to gmapsupp.img and place in Garmin folder. 4. Rename <map4>.img to gmapsup2.img and place in Garmin folder. 5. Rename <map5>.img to gmapsupp.img and place in <MEMORYCARD>:\Garmin\Apps
This last map doesn't always work though.
You can check that everything is working by opening GarminXT>Tools>Manage Maps and all maps should be showing.
Garmin XT Mobile Battery Draining Issue
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
This it seem is due to a background process that Garmin Mobile XT starts upon boot up of your Symbian operating system as well as upon running of the Mobile XT software. Things you will need to verify if you are affected by this background process.
1. An installed version of Garmin Mobile XT
2. Kill Me or JBakTaskMan Step 1 - Select the process TSRAutoStart.exe Step 2 - Select Menu -> Terminate process (Or any related end task command)
How to prevent TSRAutostart from auto loading upon boot up. Step 1 - Plug mobile phone to PC under Mass Storage mode (! important as directories used are otherwise hidden) Step 2 - Delete file CardRunner.RSC in directory under Mobile Phone\Resource\plugins\CardRunner.RSC Step 3 - Delete the file CardRunner.dll in directory under Mobile Phone\sys\bin\CardRunner.dll
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
The new Garmin XT kills the battery life on our phones. There is a program called TSRAutostart.exe that is draining the battery. If you have jbtaskman and kill the process, it will just start again when you restart your phone. Here is a solution to stop that file from automatically starting, thus greatly increasing your battery life.
To stop that file from restarting, plug your phone into your computer and use the mass storage setting. Then, delete these two files
This will stop that battery hog file from starting up. If you install jbtaskman you can kill the process after your run garmin. This will increase your battery.
As of version 5.0.0.40, this background process is now an option that can be switched off, saving you the trouble of killing the process each time you run Garmin. Start GMobileXT, goto Tools -> Settings -> System, scroll down all the way till you see the option "Launch background service" and select Disabled then Done to save.

Searching by address in the Malaysian maps, whether Malfreemaps or Malsingmaps takes some patience and effort. Tried this in Garmin Mobile XT.
Do an address search, spell country as Malaysia, then search all cities. Don’t enter a house number, this almost always doesn’t work in Malaysia, ie. skip this, by pressing Next. In the "Street" screen, simply enter "SS 20/13" without the quotes, no need to type in Jalan or Lorong, or whatever. In this case, in the whole of Malaysia, there’s only one "SS 20/13" so only one search result is displayed, and clicking on it will bring you to the detailed map !

You need to back up the existing GARMIN folder on your memory card, which are the map files, as well as any POIs that you have created and the settings are in there. The license file for the new phone should be a different one and you can’t use the one for the existing one for the new phone, unless your Garmin XT MObile came in an official SD card.
The fastest way to test is to copy the entire garmin folder across to the new memory card. The problem is, you have to reinstall the Garmin software again, after successfull installation, delete the new E:\GARMIN folder entirely and replace with the old ones that you did backup from old phone.
Also, finally get back the license key from Garmin to be able for you use the Internal GPS if you have purchased the Garmin XT Mobile previously.
