u mean battery life, how long can your PDA last before need recharging? battery life dunno la, but of course, if u're using BT GPS, battery drain faster than using plain inbuilt GPS

hmmmm, lets see.

inbuilt GPS: your Pda must power GPS, and the software

BT GPS: pda must power bluetooth, which is not only on, but CONSTANTLY transfering data. Plus the software of course.

I'm not too sure, but my money would be on that constantly transfering data via BT uses a lot of battery

EITHER way u choose, your PDA will not last long, about 3-4 hours if you're lucky

Solution, get a PDA car charger. No worries at all

I think got some better accuracy, (chipset) while the more expensive ones can detect more sattelites at a time, though for our use, 8-16 satellites is more than enough. the expensove ones can get 32, but no point wan since u dun need so many

yeah just connect and its free from there on in.

16 channel and 32 channel is believe is the number of sattelites at a time it can detect max. which in my opinion not much diff also. thats cuz u connect also can normally detect 5-8 onli i think. which is more than enuf.

by normal electronic map wat do u mean dude. if u asking if can simply use it to view around, yea of course u can do that. but i recommend using a normal paper map for just viewing

lol, but i find paper one much easier to read. electronic when go beyong screen must load and all. and even worse when u have no idea the location u're looking for is N-S-E-W of your current position. map book can get overall view easier. But yea, u can use it alone as a electornic map

yep definitely. before going out at an unknown place using GPS, i have a look using a paper map first before heading on the road. this way i can have a general direction to be heading towards.

lets say u on the road. GPS shows u a path thats damn traffic jam already. If u know the general direction of where u shud go, u can take a diff road, and force the system to reroute you to a better path

Instead of staying on position, waiting to get a fix, drive a bit. gets a fix faster. No idea why, sometimes maybe the position u are currently has bad GPS reception, so as u move, u can perhaps come to a good position. I remember once i was waiting a frickin 45 minutes for reception, still cannot get a fix! got pissed off and fed up, so i started driving. Drive about 500m away from the spot suddenly, got a fix already!!!

i just been to digital mall recently, didnt see any shop that specifically dealt in GPS, but quite a lot of electronic shops. but dun buy games from there. bloody hell, i bought a DVD conpendium, thats supposed to contain Age of Mythology and the expansion, BOTH also DONT have! like, wtf!!! waste my money, inside got crap games instead. Also, the crack never work properly, i had to tweak myself

but thats OT, not sure the prices at Digital Mall can compare with lowyat though or buying online here in the forums

stand alone product cost a few K wor....and people wait steal lol, cuz u fix to the car, dangerous lor

definitely can, no problem.

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

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?

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.

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.
