If you are using Mapking base navigation software, you need to have map license in order to use their map or map from other provider eg. malsingmaps.com. Because your unit been purchased in Malaysia, map license for malaysia already been included for you but if you wanna use Singapore maps, you need to buy map license for Sinagapore. Better go back to your dealer and ask them...

For TomTom GPS device, I'm afraid you will not get a very details maps for Malaysia like Mapking or Garmin. But if you already have both map, you can use it together.

Garmin GPS was the the best device if you wanna use map from malsingmaps.com. Any model can do the job...

I have never use Garmin original map but among those 2 the most famous free GPS maps for malaysia. I can say for Perlis, Penang, Kedah and Perak, Selangor and KL you can use MFM. For Melaka, N. Sembilan, Johor, Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei you can use MSM. For Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu, I think more less they are the same. But for more comprehensive maps for Johor and Singapore you can try Jerome own version map but you need to give a donation.

Normally what I do was I keep separate GMAPSUPP file from both source in other folder. When i want to use it I just copy it to Garmin folder. This method can be apply for PDA user...

What type of error you get eg. program stop working or hanging. Any error message?

As for now, there is 2 site offered free map. Malsingmaps.com and Malfreemaps.com. You can be a member to both site or either one. The instruction for installing their map can be found at their site.

At current you need to contribute something like POI or GPS track in order to get the unlock code for the locked map. But according to the latest announcement from the site owner, there is no unlock code require for next map release.

No need for you to get extra hardware. But you need to get the original Mobile XT software (selling with SD card) in order to use it with internal GPS

Have that software successful detect the GPS port and getting the satellite fix?

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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?

For free you can go for GPS Proxy+Garmin Que application. You can visit Malsingmaps.com WiKi for more info on setting it...

1) You can use 3rd party backup for that like SPB Backup.
2) Yau check version of your map by comparing it with version available at Mapking website. Or you can go to Malsingmaps.com and download the map from the download section.

For manual you can find it here.

What is you current location right now? You also can checkout m3gps, visit digital mall or starlite tech seremban
