hahahaah...received already my GPSr.....Holux M-1000B but once i connect through BT...it detect M-1000. I dont care. BUt it work flawlessly .....
After go through this malsing site.....already managed to install nRoute and add some map (1.26 June 2007 released) and cruising with my laptop in my car.....GPS really great.....

Wa... Already install the nRoute in your notebook. But remember to keep your eyes on the road and not on the monitor.

Well, i've officially joined the GPS Club with the purchase of the Nuvi 310 yesterday... Its very user-friendly and the response time is accurate... Helps a lot in my travels, whether around town or outstatin...

Btw, what do u guys think of the 310, from experience? I was initially considering the 200 but after testing both units (200 and 310) together with the seller while driving, the 200 was unable to detect the satellites (due to vCool in the car)... However, the 310 could receive the signals clearly, mainly due to the external antenna...

Thats y i ended up going for the slightly higher=end version...

Noob here. Say I have a PDA with GPS, I'll just need to install Malsingmaps and I'll to use GPS while on walking. If I am in my car driving, I'll need to get a GPS receiver (RM200+) as well and a PDA holder?

Hey planning on buying a pda that has gps functinality...any good ideas? and do we have to pay for this gps service? sori newbie here

THT I missed ur posting...Actually frankly speaking if u hv done better research in Malsingmaps, Nuvi200 is a better choice & cheaper too!!

Why..Nuvi 200 capable of tracking & replay traccklogs but Nuvi310 can't!!!

Once u getting better wth Nuvi, u will be asking: How come I cannot see my tracklogs? Or How can I contribute tracklogs! Or anyway I can replay the remote area tracklog that I have been to

Anyway..just hope Garmin release an update soon to activate the Tracking function on other Nuvi models as well...

of cos
that is why this thread for
to discuss about GPS

Haha..u really too long under the coconut hell Sure GPS works well in Malaysia infact since early 2000 but the maps at the point of time really sxxks..Rigt now, the maps both commercial & hobbyist's malsingmaps site (as per my siggy) are very detail even if u are at remote areas or even up to Gunung Berinchang in Cameron Highland or navigating to a hotel in Pantai Cenang in Langkawi!

Added on January 17, 2008, 9:47 pmEh..nowadays most of PDAs come wth phone!! those PDA without phone are rare nowadays! As mentioned earlier, get those wth high processor speed and dun get anything below 400mhz as the processing time will be very slow.

U can get either those inbuilt type such as Asus P535, HP6965, Dopod810 or the new HTCs, Eten & etc...or a PDA without GPS but u can pair wth an ext BT GPSr such as O2, more HTC without GPS, & etc...so many to choose..botto, line is ur budget...Avoid those wth slow processor <300mhz

Yeah, that i have to agree with u, fellow GPS bro... I can even drive to the Hotel River Garden in Kemaman, Terengganu (mum's hometown actually ) from SS2 and following the instructions of my nuvi 310... GPS in Malaysia has certainly grown by leaps and bounds since the infant-days in early 2000...

And bro, when will they introduce the FM Traffic Update service here in Bolehland? Those lucky Yanks and Brits, as well as French, have this service already... Its about time someone comes up with this handy tool for GPS users in MY and SG!

owh oke oke so 400 mhz and above is suitable for gps usage la..oke so if the pda without gps..all u have to do is install the software and buy a bt gps and ur good to go izzit??

and another thing..know any good spot to shop for pdas? good deals mayb good quality 2nd hands and i read the specs at mobile88 they say tht the dopod p100 is jus a pda and cant make callss all tht shit..i dun quite get it.

Ehh, Dopod P100 no longer in production since late 2006 if I'm not mistaken. Not many pure PDA without phone right now...To get P100, the only way is thru 2nd hand market. I was considering P100 way back in mid 2006 when they quoted price for new unit is ~RM990 too bad no phone.
Even those mega powerful PDA without phone such as Dell Axim.50V wth 624mhz has stopped production.

To get good 2nd hand u can check in lelong.com or LYN itself. Normally those guys in lelong.com hv outlets either in Subang Parade or Summit. Print the advertisement & goto the shop to check the quality,. I got my 1st GPS PDA phone (HP6515) via this way....

is there any software to keep logs on the internal gps for pda?? so we cna share those logs for mappping purpose

If u are using Mapking - u can but only replay using mapking & u cannot submit to the mapper. Anyway, I hv not try to record track via mapking...fail to record dunno why..

But if u are using either GPS proxy & GPS gates, than these are the two good track recording tools. Most of us using PDA & members of MSM using gps procy to track & submit tracklogs for mapping purposes...and both software are the one that use to start Garmin Que. without these software, garmin Que won't work! (Except if u buy dedicated Garmin 10 GPSr)

Anyway is via Garmin Que itself (but u need GPS proxy/gates) to start-lah. But the tracklogs from Garmin que is no good compare to gps proxy.

owh ermm hahaha wats lyN?

i suppose LYN means LowYat.NET. stimix try to refer you to the garage sales in this forum where you can get good 2nd phone.

Hi guys, does the GPS chip for different PDA phones differs a lot in terms of connectivity?

I don't really mind the time needed to lock me. What i concern is lose track during driving.. Will it happen if the GPS chip is not sensitive enough? Cause i am considering between Asus P535 and HTC P3600i.. Really don't know which one to get.

Thanks!

Anything wth Sirf111 chipset can't be wrong..I'm using Asus P535. so far the accuracy is marvelous. Not so sure about HTC..heard also using Sirf111....if yes OK-lah...BTW, HTC will be a better choice interm of 2nd value, easy after sales service.

Not all HTC use Sirf III.. I think most of them using Qualcomm. Really headache, GPS vs all those EDGE/3G/3.5G connectivity.
