I would suggest a standalone GPS device like Garmin Nuvi series since you only need to install the map only and it was a straight forward device.

Current GPS status can be checked under GPS Status option.

Hi guys. I'm newbie here. I've old pda Ipaq h2210 that lying around for years without any good usage. Well, recently I got myself a bluetooth
GPS receiver so that my Ipaq won't be useless. I bought I-blue 737 with 54 satellite tracking. I'm actually happy with my purchase. I now can go anywhere I want without getting lost. Also, I found some new road to use.

Right now, I'm using Mapkings and Garmin XT install inside my Ipaq h2210. Both are great. But I think Mapking is easier to use but not easily configured for routing. What you guys think?

i think i have no more porblem d... went back to the shop and ask them how to use it... thanks for helping me though... my settings were a bit not correct.. so it cant sense my current position...

As for myself, I choose garmin base device/software because I can use my own map on it. Since using Garmin you can draw and compile your own map on-line at Mapcenter. But when compare Mobile XT and Mapking, i will always choose Mobile XT since already familiar with their syatem since Garmin Que era...

need help on my Garmin Mobile XT..

im using Kaiser (wm6.1 - official from HTC)
after i upgrade to WM6.1 from WM6.. my GXT got always got error on que.exe when i used to navigate..

i've try to uninstall and install fresh GXT on my kaiser but the problem is still occurred.

anyone here got problem like me?? how to solve it??

wow, thanks for your answer. But somehow I think the reception with Mobile XT is worse than
Mapking. I wonder why software in PDA can affect GPS reception? Any idea?

a) Also, the Mapking will recalculate/reroute very fast if go to wrong way. XT do it after few second.
b) Mapking speed calculation is spot on. Same with my odometer. XT speed is slower than my odometer.
c) Mapking warn u about your speed. But XT just keep quiet.

But I think XT calculation/routing is better than mapking. Not sure why. Maybe Mobile XT map better.
Also, I think Mobile XT map is more detailed?

i was on my way to pankor with my mapking soft...using peninsular map..gosh... it gave me sum screwed up way to reach lumut..quite bad...plz dont 100% rely on ur gps...i followed gps to make sure our direction was right ...then the rest i just followed signss...

this being said...mapking gives accurate speedometer readings..but the map has to be updated.!!..

maybe you should install both mapking and garmin mobile xt like me. And compare their routing.
I think mobile xt routing is more intelligent

To me reception for both are the same since I'm using the same GPS device for both application. For recalculation, Mapking detect wrong route a bit faster than MXT. For speedometer, there is a lot of other thing affected cause differences speed between GPS application and vehicle speedometer.

And for map details, Garmin map more details if you are using free maps from MSM or MFM but if you are using original Garmin map, I think Mapking will be more details than original Garmin map.

Added on January 13, 2009, 9:49 amAFAIK your GPS have built-in GPS chip and for using Mobile XT you need to buy the software from certified Garmin dealer. So, it much more easier if you go back to the shop where you buy the software and ask the how to rectify your problem.

Added on January 13, 2009, 9:53 amI think that was not software problem but it was more on map details problem. You can have the best GPS device for road navigation in the world but if you don't have map for that particular area then it become useless. So it is better to check the map details for area you are planning to go before you feel regret when you arrive there.

only one time my gps gave me headache when
i trying to to dataran merdeka/national Historic Muzium.
it gave me direction heading to Lake nearby/parliment
twice i tried it lead me there.
it was a big round to return to the traffic light area.by the way i saw the Big flag of dataran merdeka on my right hand side just b4 reaching the multi roads traffic lights. which road should i take..i think i say as many as 4 roads ahead.

new user of HTC diamond here .. after i updated my quick GPS i no longer can detect my GPS .. it show icon of searching for bluetooth when i open Garmin XT mobile ... can anyone help me out ..

i formatted my phone for 3 times ... it end up the same .. kinda worried

Since your phone have built-in GPS, you need to buy the Mobile XT software. For free Mobile XT software it will look for Garmin Mobile 10x.

format 3 times!!!
like that you need to ask baronic for help

do anyone here have freeware to test the gps device

You can go to site like freewareppc.net to search for free GPS software. Just look under GPS title...

nhi, I am a new Omnia user, want ask about GPS setting, anyone using Garmin Que, and CCproxy, which guided by Malsing maps?
PLease kindly guide me which port CCOM should i use for my hardware port?

I just googling around MSM and didn't find any guidance for Omnia user using Garmin Que + GPS Proxy. I guess you need to do some homework by testing all the available port. Just make sure you install both application (Garmin Que and GPS Proxy) first. Then you try to get satellite fix from Proxy before connecting the software to Garmin Que.

If you have any problem after trying it, you can drop you Q here and we see what we can do with the help from other user. Anyway, have you try asking this Q in the Omnia forum?

Hardware port for omnia is Com 3. Try using this for the proxy settings.
i use garminxt which will automatically detect the gps port, without needing to use a proxy.
For proxy you will have to set it manually.

for newbie users, garmin que is by far the most complicated to install compared to garminXT n mapking.
perhaps you could visit malsing.com n read the installation guide.
