Actually lotsa screen will show partially not only the startup..such as the GPS info page, all the utilities pages, & etc....other than the nydot software recommended by krazul which is not free, u can try "reshack" which is free..too bad I lost the link ..probably google for it..and guides available if u search in the old malsingmaps forum..search for reshack:

hmm, some problem with mapking though, i got the gps positioned in 3D and loaded malsing maps, but still the cursor doesnt move and the map still remains in kl area..

ur GPS activated yet?normally the cursor move once gps avtivated and ur unit is moving..

Did the unit say "GPS is now functioning"?

If it didn't, even when u select the navigator mode, it will go into 3D but cursor won't move. It is searching for "fixes"

Guys, i'm seriously considering going for a GPS device... Which are the recommended models for someone on a shoestring budget (i.e. below RM2k)?

Also, i know there is a shop selling only GPS products at Digital Mall... If i'm not wrong, it's located on the GF (outside the building, near KFC) and opposite that kopitiam place... Any1 bought their stuff there before or not?

umm... if ur at d Digital Mall garmin booth, u can have a look at d Garmin Nuvi. Pretty good and d map looks good as well. Price is abt RM16++ I think

Get Garmin Nuvi 200.

Entry level GPS device at around RM 1,200 only.

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

yeah, it did say 3D position acquired, but no speed and cursor didnt move.. i was wondering whether its the mapking problem..

its supposed to say "GPS is now functioning" not 3D position.

also, correct map loaded? i'll be going down to asia cafe in ss15 at 12 noon today, opposite taylors and inti.

if u free u may come down, i help u configure.

i'lve PMed u my number

Hi Pipedream and Baronic,

haha... I wish I can join u fellas too but drowning in work. *sigh*

And pipedream, the device is supposed to SAY "GPS is now functioning" literally. Not just show it on screen. If I'm not mistaken, for a successful 3D fix, it'll just show on the screen right.

No worries... u r on the right track. Give the device a little more time. Normally if u can get a 3D positioning, all ur settings are correct already. Just wait a little longer and ur GPS will start running.

*EDITED*

lol, i would love to, but currently i am not in KL, i am back in my hometown for my holiday.. maybe some other time when i drop by subang ok? hehe

Thanks for the offer though

u mean GPS is NOW functioning

lol. no problem. i think pipedream's GPS is functioning la, just gotta wait a bit. must do outdoors u know. right map loaded also.

Where is it sold? I went to the Garmin dealer in Digital Mall (Geopac Sdn. Bhd.) and they showed me the Nuvi 200W which is going for around M$1900... It is much more expensive when compared with the entry-level Nuvi 200, thats for sure...

However, the device functions quite well when i did the simulation in Penang (i'm going there for hols next month actually!)... It managed to give a reasonably accurate guide on how to get to Gurney Plaza from, say, the Bridge... Still, i plan to check out the 200 mainly due to price difference... Where to get it ya? KLCC / Lowyat / Digital / etc.?

Get a GPS10X BT unit for ~RM700-RM800. it's performed the same thing as NUVI..I tot u oledi looking for thsi GPS10X since begining of the year

Yups, but due to budget constraints, i did not really go about my pursuit for the GPS... Now, its a different story... I've been travelling out of town more often (mainly for holidays! ) and seems to me that a GPS will really come in handy for this...

Well, bro stimix, that unit u mentioned is really affordable... But where can i check it out for a "test-drive"?

i m trying to use garmin que on my p535..but the problem is..how to switch the garmin map into 3D view?..

like this

i cant seem to switch it to 3d view like above mine 1 only normal map mode.. i m using garmin que 2.90

U can check wth the GPS shop that I recommended mths bck at Digital Mall S14. They hv expanded and having another bigger shop just beside the entrance. Look for Kelvin.

Added on October 17, 2007, 7:15 pmThat one is Garmin Mobile XT & not Garmin Que. To use that software u must buy the BT Garmin 10X which I recomended to THT United earlier. Garmin Que has no 3D function. Alternatively u can try Mapking for 3D rendering.

Or you can buy Mobile XT software make for built in GPS chip PPC. Check out at Garmin website.

malsingmap lags? What device and what software r u using? Lagging has nothing to do with the map. If ur asking whether it's updated then yes it's updated
