QUOTE(THT United Gadgets @ Jan 13 2007, 07:04 PM) Aiyo, that bad ah... Like dat, this means its more likely that my Z72s will have to be a non-GPS handheld for now! Mapking cannot use probably Garmin Que can...try find more info from Palmx.org Probably the Doctor will be able to share something on Z72s.....this Doc is crazy about Palm...& most of the tutorial & setting on Palm to Malsingmaps is contributed by him...friendly doctor...  .. |

QUOTE(Deani_77 @ Jan 13 2007, 06:50 PM) Just received my BT GPS today, very excited. after complete setup the device I connect it and start using it with garmin que. the problem now the signal from virtual pot always lost and it keep searching, find and lost again. why it happen? Try fixed the com port of the garmin Que from "Auto detect" to a com port no (either 6 or 8) which is similar to GPS proxy Aplication com port (Must be either com 6 or 8 too) |

QUOTE(stimix @ Jan 12 2007, 03:20 PM) As mentioned earlier the best so far are those able to run the free Malsingmaps which r updated monthly. And this free maps can only be runed (currently) using the following software: Time and again the best way to find out about Malsingmaps is from Malsingmaps.com, so please understand that Malsingmaps are Garmin compatible maps, that means it works with Garmin software (Que) coupled with a Garmin GPS receiver. Que do not recognise other GPS receivers.1) Garmin (For standalone GPSr) + Garmin car navigation h/ware such as Nuvi & Streetpilot 2) Garmin Que + GPS proxy/Gate (For all PPC wth WMS2003/2005 & certain Palm) 3) Mapking G10.2 (1115) - (The maps will not work on V7 & R12) 4) Symbian phone such as N70 or higher but no auto routing - Someone hv just converted whole malsinmaps to symbian format recently  )So for car navigation get those PPC wth atleast 320X240 screen and able to view horizontal....such as HP5770....or if u r loaded get those Nuvi & streetpilots which is atleast RM3K++ But the good thing is, Que will work with Pocket PCs coupled with other than Garmin GPS receivers via GPSProxy/Gate, therefore can use Malsingmaps. AND Malsingmaps are updated more than monthly. Do check out Malsingmaps.com for ALL detailed guides on using their maps with any system. All settings (ports and such) are detailed in the guides.

Hiyah u must hv missed out on malsingmaps long time liow....pls check the website..Since 28/12/06, its oledi support Mapking G10.2 format & recently some smart guys managed to convert all img files to symbian format... But the good thing is, Que will work with Pocket PCs coupled with other than Garmin GPS receivers via GPSProxy/Gate, therefore can use Malsingmaps. AND Malsingmaps are updated more than monthly. Do check out Malsingmaps.com for ALL detailed guides on using their maps with any system. All settings (ports and such) are detailed in the guides. & who says Malsingmaps only work on Garmin Que? Its is means originally for Garmin GPSr no doubt but now all PPC (& certain Palm) are able to run Garmin Que thnx to GPS Proxy/Gates/tuner... Also due to some friction, Malsingmaps now is an enduser forum & most mappers hv been split to either gpsmappers and masmaps.org respectively....due to this updates of maps only monthly instead of weekly!

I know they already have Mapking format for quite some time already, and for Symbian even before that, didnt say ONLY Garmin. Still find Que much better than Mapking. And I still find some of the maps updated more than monthly, that is for those who bind the maps themselves via Patchimg.

Thanks... How about the Mapopolis maps? I think those are quite suitable as they can run on PalmOS (i have downloaded these maps before)...
Anyway, i was at the IT Planet in Ikano just now and when i asked whether they sell GPS devices, the sales ppl said no... Too bad... |

After searching PalmX.org & link to Garmin website, I gathered that the only compartible GPSr for u is Garmin GPS 10 Read this link: Garmin GPS10 However Minimum Palm requirements = Palm OS 5 (enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology), 4 MB program memory So go look for Garmin GPS 10 (And dun confuse this wth the latest Garmin GPS10X as I dun think this latest GPSr compartible wth Palm O/S.. |

But this gpsr is a lot more expensive. |
