HTC touch is a very simple PDA phone-leh wth only 200mhz slow speed compare to this 520mhz speedy Asus...and HTC dun hv a built-in GPS receiver & lots more feature not in HTC Touch...

1st goto setting>System>GPS>programs - set GPS program port = "(None)" then goto Harware - setGPS hardware port =Com2

In Mapking, Goto tools>GPS/Track> flag "By User" choose Com 2 & Baud rate=4800

U probably can upgrade to English wm6 but the problem is ASUS has not
release their English version yet!! ..We here been waiting since begining of the mth If u go to their website they oledi released Thai, French, HK/Taiwan, Portuguest BUT not ENGLISH!!

No-lah wat I mean is the existing ROM is WM5 English and we hv been waiting since early this mth for the upgraded WM6.. ..so meaning no English version for WM6 yet....from Asus forum, French users been complaining about the "blank screen" problem & another version complaining about PDA can't detect Mini SD...so probably those French & Thai versions are experimental WM6 and probably due to those complains, ASUS withold the English version release

OK..after keep on complaining to Asus pertaining to WM6 upgrade, here is the respond and also the latest news from ASUS:

If u are using the Extreme VCOOL (or rite now saftint too) which blocked all infrared signal such as smartag, it will blocked ur satelite signal too..other tinted glass so far OK including mine. I also hv no problem wth my rikecool but I need the ext antenna during tracking-lah...U can't see the diff until u plot ur tracklog using Mapedit or mapsource and u really can see the differences....for normal use, no need ext antenna as mentions few pages b4 ur posting...

Here is the link to malsingmaps wiki on how to download speedtrap POI...mind u if me I will bot download this...very irritating as those speedtrap POI are almost everywhere along NSE..and everytime u reach the nearest flyover...voice prompted ..speed camera in 300M"...whereas not everytime there is speed trap there.. but the voice prompt made u slow down!!!

Wiki to download speedcam

U need to logon ur malsingmaps id b4 can go into wiki...

Sony he got it from:

Pc-mobile

The price of ext ant & the reradiating unit..and yes similar to my set-up is at US#47.90 +US$5 postage...so after coversion at RM3.70 it's at RM196...probably cheaper..if conversion rate ~RM3.5 (Depending on type of creditr card)

Only few days-lah oledi bck a week & 1/2 ago... ...Probably I will inform u on the next mini GG (GPS geeks meeting)... ..

Hehe..tnx for the needed bump....was trying to remind all existing malsingmaps members, The old website has been shutdown since Yesterday & u all need to goto the new website & re-register.

And on GPRS...eh..probably forget about it..no point too expensive....and probably very slow too bcos no EDGE..just use the wifi & scan for nearest free hotspot..our Asus P535 is suprising powerfull too! I can even login to my neigbour AP from my house!!

U can installed noth in 1 device but u can't start both together...

Nah...not really an expert..still learning..U ask me on GPS related thingy probably yes but u ask others PDA functions I dunno much..

Yes u can I have been switching between Mapking & Garmin Que on daily basis...no problem..but occasionally after u opened Mapking, there wil be a minor conflick when u try open Garmin..Just soft reset & us can start GPS proxy & Garmin again...

BTW on the WM6 Thai English, As u can see from the response I received from Asus, he reminded me to install only "Malaysia" version..or else..if suka-suka try the Thai version and some wording changed to Thai ..It will not be reversaeble anymore + Asus might disclaim this waranty due to non-following their instruction....

Yes GPS com port for all P535's navigations softwares runs on Com port 2. It is fixed.but the application and virtual coms port can be numerous. ..So far only comport 5 works...

I dun use gpsgate so can't comment much but if u'r using GPS proxy ur setting should be:

1) GPS com port: 2
2) All other com ports in proxy =com 5
3) Ensure GPS proxy setting is link to Garmin Que
4) in Garmin Que Interface pg, - also set at com 5 rather than Auto detect

Also the correct GPS2.2c should be "Baud Rate Correction"

Not yet..check my previous link to Asus..They tentatively fixed End Of Aug for the release

Only knew it this Morning..Will try & coment after istalling it Tonite

Here is the official link to download the WM6 for Asus P535:

http://support.asus.com/download/download....SLanguage=en-us

Correct version = 4.7.12 (Malaysia) in the middle of thge page

I think no need to format-lah bcos it's already in that format. (But dun take my word). Previously when I upgrade the older P535 WM5 version, same procedure asked me to format & I disregard thsi but it's still working after the upgrade....reason i dun format..bcos I dunno how to!

argghhh the download site so slow..avg 8.3kb/s and probably will takes me ages to download the 52.94mb files..

Installed WM6 successfully Yesterday (The download from US site took me about 2 hours on Sat ) ...Reinstalled all impoirtant applications such as Garmin Que, GPS proxy, Mapking & etc....All working pefectly. Garmin Que start-up getting better from avg 6-8S to 4-6S previously..but difficult to say bcos previously installed in SD but now in Main memory..more review later
