3) can the gps tell me the position that i am located and change the map accordingly? Yes..but not change the map, the pointer will move the maps as & when u move

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

If u hv notebook wth wifi, goto any free hotspot & download the data....u can also change the default 2 days expire period to 7 days by tweaking the registry. (If u know how- search in the old malsingmaps.com forum)..Or try few more times to acquire the AGPS data via the slow gprs/edge...(6965 having edge anyway...)

To understand more on AGPS, goto the link I given earlier or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

Basically, HP 6515/6965 having the "Not so strong" GPS chipset (as what mentioned by kerasul)...So to enable it acquire GPS faster than others, globallocate (Also the chip producer) came out wth assisted thingy by pinpointing ur latest location via cellphone/internet nearest location and then assisted the low satelite signal to computing the exact location....and thus u get faster fix!...Infact u can get faster fix than a normal superior SIRF111 chipset...(Well I can verified this...my old HP6515 getting faster fix compare to the sirf111 chipset inside my new Asus P535...However interm of accuracy, sirf111 still better than globallocate chipset)

Check the version of the map. If u'r using Mapking G10 u can only diwnload G10 map version & if u want to use 2007 version, u need to rename the ext from g10 to m7a.

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"

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 guys,

When i click search for gps, it could not find any gps internally? i had not upgrade firmware or kacau anything...y suddenly like that? anyone overcome this or has any solution?  i would really appreciate....btw its not about getting a fix, its bout getting gps detected internally.... haih....

You can drop by to malsingmaps.com for free map. Eventhough you need to contribute for the latest map but their open map was quite OK. You can download map for both application (mapking and GMXT).
