Thanks a lot for your help, bro... U must be very well-versed in GPS technology eh?

I guess my Z72s will be able to fit the bill... My handheld has BT and also contains FAR more than 4MB in memory!

Running Symbian gps with garmin map?

Nokia N95 will mark a new symbian phone with built in gps, but looking at the current scenario the gps map provider is a bit slow for this region. Hopefully this will not delay the launching of this new model in Malaysia.

All the well known gps map provider with navigation and lots of places of interest links such as Tom tom and Navigon on symbian will not support this region.

Garmin Mobile for symbian looks promising, but will this software support the good free map from malsing and will it run on other gps receiver beside garmin gps 10?

Then I am still stuck with my old ipaq 4150, Holux Slim Gps and Que. Best experience of cruising gps is during balik kampung season. Malsing maps provides updated and accurate maps for all those remote areas such as Pagoh, where these helps a lot during my night driving.

Go and visit malsingmaps.com

The free up to date Malaysia & SG maps are now supportiung symbian format! However it is not routable

Aiyo, but they still don't have PalmOS-based maps ah? I don't see those guys in the Malsing Forums talking about those maps also...

Malsingmaps is just the "map". Malsingmap "map" can be used on garmin product ; or ppc/palm/pc running garmin que or the newer version garmin mobileXT.

now got Mapking also wat. and Mapking for palm os got mar. so use the malsing maps, mapking format lor

Icic... Btw, is the Garmin GPS 10 available in the local GPS shops? And how much is it retailing for? I can't even find it on eBay worldwide, so i'd thought of checking it out on a first-hand basis at the shop... Just want to test whether the GPS10 works with my Z72s or not...

Probably GPS10 is too old liow. Its has been replaced wth GPS10x..& as mentioned by easirider its works on Palm too..but pls check the spec...U can try the KL gps shop....or probably u can join the gathering this Friday at 8PM @ Gazebo Subang Jaya S15..probably one of the GPS geeks brought their GPS10 or GPS10x....for sure one of the moderator of Malsingmaps will be there....

Thanks, bro... Will u be there, btw?

Well, i checked out the GPS 10x via this link and looks like my Zire is unable to work with this one... The handheld's OS is only v5.2, despite meeting all of the other requirements (too bad!)... I think the most compatible to the Z72s is the GPS 10...

No. Could not make it this Friday..hopefully the Drtamil from palmx.org will be there too to assist u...he was there during last gathering...Log-in to malsinmaps & put ur name under the "member staying around Subang Jaya" thread...

I am using h4150 and Holux bluetooth receiver. I ordered it from U.S. the bluetooth cost me about RM400+ include shipping and negligible tax as the company underdeclare the item . So far both are working good.

From my experience:
1) I can tell u that gps signal is weak when you are near high rise building. I keep on losing signal when i am at the city in Singapore and also Malaysia.
2) You must know your exact destination on the gps map(not a rough road/place). Else, you might get lost even with a gps.
3) It will drain your h4150 battery very fast. Use a car charger.
4) Malsingmaps map is very detailed.

how fast is very fast lilcool? wanna check bluetooth GPS battery consumption vs GPS consumption. Built in GPS PDAs run approximately 2.5-3 hours from fully charged to dead

hey, i stay practically 5 mins drive from that location. what do u normally do there usually?

Normally borak-borak on the areas not cover & who to cover those unmapped areas...current unmapped areas surrounding Klang valleys are the Northern regions esp Rawang...latest info on Malsingmaps in Mapking format and etc..

Also discussed on latest gadget< Nuvi, tablet PC, GPS10X and etc (TH united might interested to know about it...

BTW, talking about battery life using GPS...no good ...it last me only 1.5-2hr on full charge! Thus to solved this I got myself a car charger & also an extended battery (2500Mah instead of ori 1200Mah...this battery rocks..can last>5 hrs wth GPS....)

waliow, extended battery?? i went and got my self a good car charger is good enough. It charges the battery faster than i can drain it using GPS. So after driving for about 1 hour plus, my pda is fully charged haha.

ah, borak borak like that i feel out of place lol. and yea, Rawang is unmapped. Been there before, got lost, and malsing maps totally screwed me up lol.

Haha ..that is why just hope more members living there that can contribute their track-logs...rite now Rawang maps are contributed by casual visitors there...
Nxt time u r there should collect more tracks...

I not going there again lar. I wanted to go Shah Alam from SUbang Jaya. Haha, dunno how i ended up in Rawang. Nightmare, driving for 4 hours straight, when i shud have taken Kesas 20 mins. Had an accident. Had to pay a local to guide me out of Rawang. Reach home at 1 am. TRIPPLE KILL!!!!

I selling my dopod p100, those GPS lovers out there.
