You can read more about A-GPS here...2. Mobile 10x was BT GPS receiver. You can connect it to Windows Mobile, Symbian and Palm phone and you can use Mobile XT for free. Navigation software and map will be install on the phone. |

QUOTE(Nairdamil @ Jan 20 2010, 02:06 AM) @mr.wokayyy: bro, i have read some where else that papago community is bigger than garmin...this means that papago map are updated more often compared to garmin...is this true... and y you say that can't go wrong with garmin...issit because of the UI ?? For Malaysia I think Garmin have the largest community for time being... Since currently most of the site offered Garmin map. And you can get updated for Garmin every week at MFM. |

QUOTE(aliluya @ Apr 2 2010, 02:31 PM) hi to all gps sifoo, i'm acually planning to buy gps, but really blur on which to choose. budget is around RM400-550. Maybe i shud start by knowing how many GPS software we had in the market now? which 1 is more user friendly and more functions? what is the current trend function? thanks for the sharing  You want to buy a standalone GPS device or just only GPS software. If only GPS navigation software what is your current set-up? |

QUOTE(WiiPS3_74 @ Jun 29 2010, 01:14 PM) Anyone tried using an extension GPS antenna for HTC P3600 or Mio P550? Trying to avoid having the phone/PDA under direct sunlight while driving.My HTC P3600 sometimes hangs and battery refuse to charge when its over heats. Does that device have jack for external antenna? For external antenna I think it hard for you to get it in Malaysia. Maybe you can look around at the web. The other thing you can do was put your device higher close to your roof, I do that with my N85 and no problem getting good signal and my device was protected from the hot sun. |

QUOTE(powerfulcool @ Nov 1 2010, 01:16 PM) my Garmin 255w is so outdated compared to mobile garmin XT.. wth garmin, not updating their older but then superior devices no wonder they are going down under... Outdated in term of what? Firmware... Functionality... AFAIK stand alone much more better in term of navigation.  |
