there is someone selling gps bt device...but duno if its a good investmnet

Have u guys heard of a brand Fuzion or Fusion? how is their Btooth GPS Receiver? anyone using it?

cheers.

Depends on whether or not you need the QWERTY keyboard. If not, can consider the D810 which is much nicer and smaller.

I chose the former, paired with a Holux GPSlim 240 because I need the QWERTY keyboard for data entry and emails. Writing with a stylus is a pain and slow.

Where in Singapore can one get at those prices?

Thanks.

o2 atom paired with holux 236 GPS slim using mapking 2007 with latest malsingmap west malaysia maps. everything is great from showing your location to routing to a location you want to go.

only drawback is o2 atom battery drains alot while being paired with the holux.
the holux itself can last very long before needing a charge.

bought the holux 236 from a seller on this forum during a bulk order with external MMCX antenna which is a magnetic GPS antenna which sticks on top of the roof of your car. so u dont need to put the holux infront of your windshield on a very hot day.

if anyone needs any help or guidance can PM me or ask on this thread.

Hmm, my Holux Slim236 could get signal even when it is in the glovebox.

hello there, my bro got a Asus MyPal A636, he got the gps in Taiwan, as he work in taiwan last time, now he's back to KL, and he want to have map in KL, so how should he start? must him go to pda shop and pay for the software? or download?

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.

sounds complicated to me, as I never use before
will have a try, thanks

Anyone tried using gps wth N73 + how to use malsing maps wth the phone?

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

Smart2go is not free right?

anyone has a experience of using this compared to say Mapking or Garmin Que?

If i'm now in forest, can i use mobile phone GPS to locate my location????

as long as you have clear line of sight to the sky, your gps should be able to lock on to at least 3 satellites and you will be able to know your position......

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).

but the question is ur lock on , do u have the map of that forest?

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

All GPSr can what....just put inside ur pocket or if u using backpack put at the bck of back pack on an open sky and ur PDA on ur hand....but for walking/jungle tracking special purpose GPSr such as Garmin 60CSx is recommended rather than BT GPSR/PDA combination as u are expected to walk/track longer period. PDA/BT GPSr combination battery won't last u long...the most 2hr! whereas Garmin GPSr vattery can last >8hrs on single charge

i agree with stimix on battery power....but u can always have extra batteries if you can afford it....but that would mean more load for you to carry....which is not really a good idea for jungle tracking....

anyway, just a a gauge, the Holux GPS Slim 236 can be used for 13 hours straight before the need to recharge (if i am not mistaken)

the last time i used with my axim X51V, it can last for about 4 hours.....then i need to recharge my pda....

my Asus P535 with built in battery can last to about 4 to 5 hours......

Right now the best GPSr chipset is Sirf111 and sopme claimmtk chipset is even better. anyway, there is no harm getting rikaline as lotsa malsingmaps members do used this....

The claim that its not suitable for jungle tracking or walking is explained earlier..ie battery on the PDA does not last long. Once battery drained either u need to change or charge...but wondering how to charge when u are inside jungle?

So, just grab 1....

i'm using p990.i heard that malsing does not support symbian phones....is that tue?my question is?
-do i need any special software to use malsing maps?
-i can use any bluetooth receiver is it?
-most of the time i'm in australia,is there any place that i can get the maps?
pls include the links if its possible....

thanks
