I dun use BT GPSr so can't advise much..but for sure u need to pair (i.e sync) the GPSr to the PDA 1st. If u faileed this steps for sure u can't get the fix. (Probably just follow the instruction manual on how to sync.. )...In malsingmaps wiki..it just mentioned u need to pair the BT GPSr 1st..

2ndly...u need to setup the comport in the mapking by going to tools>GPS/track>GPS setting tick "by User" & click on search gps...the unit should be able to search tha actual comport authomatically..

thanks for the advice i m really grateful for your help i got the GPSr connected

the problem i encounter just now, its because i didnt specify the GPS hardware port to which GPS device is connected, after i selected a COM port its there... so happy that i can use my GPS from my room tml ill try it on the road

hello all the sifu's here.. i wanna ask how much the nuvi200 cost and where to get the best deal in kl and klang valley? and one more question... previous reply i read you all say we use US satellite to find our location using GPSr or device like nuvi200 free of charge at the moment rite? is there any possibility that the US government gonna charge us for using their satellite in the near future?

... we don't use solely US's satelite only rite. I think it's a collaboration between countries who own satellites. Nt too sure bout this tho. But nt likely their gonna charge.

Bro, u asked exactly the same question i've been trying to find out all this while!

And yes, i guess the Nuvi 200 is the cheapest GPS device in the market today... Its very suitable for newbies into the GPS world, like myself... Also, speaking of the satellite, i thought we don't just use the American ones... The European satellites are also connected to the network ya?

It's free and dun think the US govt has the capabilities to charge the world population on the usage of their system.

BTW, rite now US GPS system is working Others such as Russian, EU & Chian one not in operations yet.:

New Version Of GMXT 4.10.60

It looks like Garmin has released a new version of their Mobile XT software in Taiwan that has some pretty cool new features. Here are some screen shots of the Symbian UIQ3 version running on a Sony Ericsson smartphone:

New Vehicle Icon Support (just like on the nuvi):


New Photo Viewer Support (just like on the nuvi):


New Garmin Online Panoramic Photos Feature:



About Screen:

but gmxt need its own GP10x to work.

I havent got myself a Standalone GPSr, but as far as i am using my PDA GPS, its all good though. No doubt while halfway navigating and a call interupt maybe bad, but you could always close the call window and it will return back to the navigation screen while you still have your call.

screen might be small, but dont tell you are looking at the gps screen and drive. it is recommended to listen to the instruction and possibly just a glimpse. Processor wise, from my HP 6965(416mhz) to P535(520mhz), both perform well in either mapking or garmin que. Only let down is battery draining, so you must have an in car charger.

GPRS download? I only know they use to download the datas of the satellites and it is manual download. Usually it is for Assisted GPS for faster locking time.

Not really because now GMXT can work with built-in GPS but you need to buy the SD card from Garmin contain GMXT program.

It had been discussed here.

So cheap aaa... May be special offered price.

If you asking me, I would suggest you Garmin Que + GPS Proxy. But for newbie the setting could be a headache. You can find out the setting at malsing website.

Mapking also give a good coverage for semenanjung but you need to buy the map license.
