Already change it to com port for gps proxy. but the problem still occured. What is the right setup for GPS proxy. Anybody?

OK. Now I change to com port 8 (My PDA GPS proxy virtual port was 5 and 8). a bit stable. and the software start talking when I gave route to go. Thanks for the recommendations

For navigation you can use nRoute or Mapking, quite a famaous software. But you need to pay for the software and map. You want to bring along your laptop in your car for navigation?

If you wanna use paid software like mapking, just go to their website to download the software and buy the map license.

But if you wanna use Garmin Que, you will need a bit complex setup of GPS Proxy. Garmin Que and GPS Proxy are free to download.

Both sofware have map for Kuala Lumpur. You can get it from www.malsingmaps.com.

Details on how to setting the Garmin Que and GPS Proxy you can get from Malsing Maps WIKI.

Must have special software called Smart2go. Refer Malsing Maps WIKI on this subject. They also have special map for this.

Definately yes. That was GPS main function. As long as there is a sky, you can locate your location. And some more take you to the place where you start. ( if your mark it).

I think no need a map. Just use off road function.

I hear there is a program made for nokia symbian phone called SmartCom GPS. Check out this forum.

For malsingmaps, they are based on three type of map or GPS software.
1) Garmin device
2) Mapking v10 and 2007
3) SmartComGPS (Latest)

Bluetooth receiver was use for connection the phone to the GPS device (if you don't have built in GPS).

You search it here and here.

It is normal Mapking will route it through highway. Because it always assume highway is the fastest route (May be not in our situation). You can use the option you mentioned or used the avoid tab. Put in what road you want to avoid.

Actually, for Garmin GPS user that use Garmin Que, Mobile XT or stand alone GPS like Etrex, GPS MAP series. We can plan our route using Garmin software named Mapsource. We can plan our route in the PC using that software and transfer it to our device.

It will cost you RM1,700.00. The map you can get it free at www.malsingmaps.com.

Checkout local price here.

At Ebay you can get it around RM1400.00, but a bit risky. For other BT GPS you can search it at lelong.com. A bit fair price and sometime expensive then buying it from shop.

May be you can pull out the battery for a night (Just a suggestion) because never heard reset for BT GPS.

If you looking for nice GUI (3D) you can use Mapking but you need a map license to use the map. While nRoute you only get 2D graphic.

Make sure you get GPSProxy 2.2a or 2.2c modified version not the 2.2. It come with option for permenant backlight and 1 second interval tracking.

To me it is better to buy it from local dealer. One of the reason was warranty and sometime you need to sent it back to their center by your own cost if you have any problem with your unit.

Wah... GPS become GPRS already ka....

As long as you have open sky it can get satellite fix

Or if you already have PPC. You may consider to buy BT GPS
