Haiyoh ....
finally got garmin que to see the satelittes ... "acquiring satelites " . ...sheeeesh .
i think i solved the problem .. shouldn't have checked/ticked that "mirror input to output port in gpsproxy" ... when u have onli one output port added ....
Hmmmm ... need to go out for a drive to really really confirm that this thing is working .... supper anyone ?

Thanks Stimix for the help .

yay ... finally got it to work over the weekend .... now just have to get used to the interface .. finding places in garmin sure is odd ... or maybe i'm just used to mapking ... so used to the 3d mapping of the mapking -its a bit hard to get into garmin ....

my problem was the gpsproxy 2.2a ... MUST patch the baudrate correction files in order to rectify the "GPS Port Error: UART Error: Framing" problems ... all the other settings as recommended work fine for the asus p535.

Haha , perfectly happy with the asus, ... will be delirious if somehow theres a secret flap to uncover a hidden infrared port ...

hehh, some review sites says it has thats why, ... probably pre - release information ....

hey - aren't u supposed to take it back to the place u bought it from to get it flashed ? So that warranty won't void if u screw it up doing it yourself ?

hehh so nice .. would have been nice to meet up with u guys ..but unfortunately working throughout the week ... maybe next time. Now i'm trying to get the pc mapking to work ..

actually i have an issue with it charging thru the USB cable ....isn't it so that for lithium batts to last longer - u have to charge full and let it drain to near zero before charging again. ? something to do with the batt's memory ? and seeing as i'm syncing with the pc so often throughout the day - in effect i'm charging the pda 5-6x /day .... even when it doesn't need to . theres registry hacks to stop it from charging completely from the usb cable ..but it would be better to have a software switch to satrt/stop charging IMHO ? no ?

hey i was thinking - if gonna get new flash rom update - might as well trash the current wm5 os now ..... seeing as i've installed such a multitude of programs in it ... might as well go all the way ... install everything under the sun .... iphone skin anyone ?

I love the phone ..but buggeritall, 2000$ now ? ... geee and i thought stuff like this onli happens in the KLSE....

@ strik3 > seems like a lot of work to set up the iphone skin,..been wading through documentation and ended up registering at various sites ( whats the deal with all sites requiring registration ... ? ), but will try it when i have the time ....

Bleeahh , even though I want so much to believe that somehow ...theres a secret infra red port somewhere on the 535...it's impossible ....

@ sumooon > u have the p525 ler, your PDA has a hardware keyboard doesn't it ?

well, went thru the whole crappy ipod skinning thing ... maybe i'm not used to the interface but i hate it ... the slide to unlock and wizbar programs are pretty nice though, slide to unlock - looks pretty and cool but probably not very functional. uninstalled everyhting and went back to the wm5 interface.

In case anyone is looking, here is the link to the famous/infamous iphone_wm5.zip file.

i'ld say not to waste your time though..... sigh 2 hours i'ld never get back.

@strik3 > uninstalled the slide to lock, the asus hardware keypad lock works better i think. Yes to the scrolling contact list - that was cool too... but after spending many many minutes assigning photos to all my contacts in photocontacts pro, i wasnt about to give up on it ... so thereby all the cool cool things in the mod/skin wasn't very useful to me...


@Stimix > the WM6 upgrade is not out yet , I think - those that are out are for france / portugal i think ... still have to wait ... and with regards to the softpedia site > why on earth do people keep on harping on the p535's supposedly not so nice design ? I think it looks great .. bloody sleek as compared to the dopod's rounded edges....

That 2099 price is impossible ler .. the guy was talking about the P525 i think .. with infra red ports and all.

1. SirfStar III chipset , but it's a symbian os phone - so gonna have the same problem as the n95's now ... can't use malsing maps unless u pair with another gps device . The maps nokia provides are very basic (major roads ? only) according to a friend who has it......

if want a nokia with GPS better to forget the navigator and get an E65 and a $300+ gps device to pair ... price will work out to somewhat the same...
or wait another one / 2 months and get the asus for 2000

actually the main thing is whether he needs 3G .... if he does ...have some sort of company or family plan for 3g then the asus is definately out .... but if like most people who hardly ever needs 3g - then no brainer i think - the asus it is .......

Don't need 3G ? P535 it is ...now onli need to decide between a display set or a new set....

Hey anyone ever tried a proggy called astronavigator 2 ? If not - anyone mind telling me what the heck com is the gps on ? Com 1 isnt it ?

@ sonyclie77 > hey sorry, i thought i read it somewhere ( About the chipset for the nokia navigator
) but on googling for the source, can't seem to find any specific reference to the particular chipset make... not even mentioned in the nokia site. I must have been wrong....


................ $1999 .............. big joke ler.... surely it's gonna fly off the shelves at that price ?

only thing i could find about the 6110 gps chipset is from this site - and that was a preview... so not official..
