garmin no good liao as the performance in N8 about same as the 5800xm (the most annoy is the heading orientation not stable)... i already switching to use the less detail ovi maps liao as it's accurate and speed...

It helps thanks

LOL, need to get a data plan like that, more convenient but I got to see what Maxis has to offer first before I jump in.

Yup, when clear sky = faster lock, but i said IN a cave. In KL everywhere also got wireless network, and buildings, quite a lot EM interference, also difficult to lock actually.

Kasi cabut Leo punya GPS chip & try to install at your phone.
He claims his N8 lock GPS damn fast.

Alright I'm back. Standing outside, start the GPS with Wi-Fi (but I doubt I used a-gps since I am on pre-paid), I was able to get a lock in about 1 minute (give or take a few seconds).

ok lah.. to clear things up, here how the GPS work:

1. let your device at least online ONCE (in every boot) to download the general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites (the almanac), if u not online at least once then u will need 15~30 minutes to get this data offline.
2. the satelite publish it timing within 30 secs frame for the precise orbital information (the ephemeris), so make sure u under a clear sky and within 2 minutes u will get a lock
3. DO NOT move when u not in lock
4. tinted car will decrease the satelite signal (sometimes A LOTS)

hope this clear all the confusion lah...

thanks aspire

BTW, another question, how do I copy contacts to SIM?

nope.. its from a maxis dealer at sban town... i m gona RRP...

anyone have prob. to sign in ovi?

hold on the contact > mark > copy > to sim

A-GPS ( Assist GPS ) - Speed up lock time by retrieve gps location using data from server (Chargable 10cent per lock)
I-GPS (Integated GPS)- Use internal attenna to get a lock the gps (FREE ) but slow and you can choose to work with A-gps to speed up lock time
Network GPS - Speed up constant lock to satelitte by using data from server ( Chargable up to RM5) per destination.
Bluetooth GPS - You can improve the GPS performance by using 3rd party GPS device but drain the phone battery very fast.
(1) What is GPS?


(2) Does garmin works and what suitable software available for n900?


(3) Which setting A-gps,I-gps,network GPS,Bluetooth GPS is suitable for me?


(4) Alternate a-gps address to speed up locktime
