The arrow won't move until u activate it with GPS. Then the arrow will shift to ur current position

Well, U'll need nRoute and Mapsource if u wanna use garmin maps on ur PC.

On the other hand, MapKing now has a PC version too! Nice!

Hi Porkchop,

I've never heard of a GPS Reciever misaligning. What happen? The coordinates provided not accurate?

Did u update ur aGPS via the internet? Ur 6965 is using a GPS10 chipset which is relatively weak compared to others so acquiring a fix may take longer than normal. But normally after downloading aGPS data, it should fix in a few minutes time max. Also depends on weather.

A cold start in layman's terms is when u start ur GPS after leaving it idle for a few hours. A warm start on the other hand, is when u start ur GPS after a few minutes of turning it off so that some of the data from the previous operation is still present and can be used. The difference is that a warm start will get a fix much faster than a cold start.

Both are good. But Garmin is free.

No way to improve the loading of maps as they are pretty big files.

Hi Stimix,
Haha... thanks for the correction.

Hi Pipedream,
Have u tried connecting ur device through internet via wifi or activesync and THEN downloading the data? So far, on my 6515 (b4 6965), I have no problem connecting to internet to dl AGPS data.

Hi Genkis3,
Why don't u check Garmin out. They have the widest coverage

Wah... stimix = GPS sifu!

Hi pipedream,

Yes, even if u don't download d aGPS data, u can still connect but it'll take forever. Even after u found ur destination manually, I don't think u've got a fix

Hi Pipedream,

note that even when u use Garmin, it will not show the bottom part of the software as it is built for 240 x 320 screens and not 240 x 240 screens.

To enable it to work on ur 6965, u'll need to install a virtual screen program called NYDITOT. Check it out here

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"

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

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*

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

But do bear in mind that the larger ur map, the longer it'll take to load and refresh.

Hi awiekupo,

Get the NUVI that we're currently talking about alot. Bulk with vpam5221, it's a good price.

Btw, no such thing as a noob GPS device. Just cheap or expensive.

Hi THTUG (ur name very long la ),

I did that a few weeks back also (go driving around Penang with a GPS device) and the POI that I looked for the most was Shell petrol stations. Haha...

No no no... I didn't mean that the POI's were incomplete. But I used it mostly to find petrol stations. All the makan places, my gf knows by heart ady wan.

How to tell if ur a gadget freak? Ur gf complains that she should be ur one and only GPS.

mine really does.

Hi Deani_77,

First u have to say the "CORRECT ANSWER" although it may not be the "REAL ANSWER". It all works the same; whether the question is whether she looks fat, whether her dress looks nice... just say the correct answer first.

Then when she's satisfied and not looking, gently pat ur Nuvi/Holux/PDA and say in ur mind "there there... I know u know enough ok..."

The perils of gf fighting for attention with ur gadgets is VERY REAL. Haha...


Hi THTUG,

I'm a real direction blind guy. So bad until my gf can navigate better than me.


Hi dillydally,

Buy a Nuvi, wrap it in plastic and sign up for the most expensive motor insurance u can get ur hands on. Gao tim...

if u have a smooth glass/plastic surface then u can gua. Or u might have to DIY a mount lor. Just worried that mat rempits will ragut u oni.

SE P1i is using symbian UIQ 9.x I think. Not the normal Symbian S60 or S40. So need to be careful also

Yeah agree. It's better that u read the discussions urself. Otherwise if u act upon our recommendations n u dun like what u buy, u blame us pulak. No device is perfect. That's for sure.

Dun buy N95. My uncle has it. Sux big time

... 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.
