1)Why need to save? Just find the location & Click the "GO!" button on top right.
2)Although there is a function to record tracks...but I hv not tried that..always comes wth error msg...who cares since u can't use the tracklog for contribution to Malsingmaps :
3) The 20min to get GPS fix (not tracking) is probably due to the location u try to acquire the satelite...U need to stand in the open sky & not under a shade/house/trees or even those highrise beside u! GPS satelites is very weak & cannot penetrate thru buildings. Initial or cols start (after soft reseting -5min. Hard start ~1-2min..It's pretty normal for SirfIII chipset to acquire slowly compare wth those wth AGPS (Nokia/HP) but the accuracy is much better than those AGPS or even those wth 32/40 channeld MTK chipset!!
4) U need to change the brightness setting to only 3 bars..(I bet u the battery life of thsi is even better than my new Nokia 6120!!) - U need to switch off bluetooth/GPS & wifi too..those are the culprits. The battery on GPS can goes up to 5hours compare to 2 hours using Noika Maps + BT GPSr on Nokia 6120!!

..Standby time on idle witout running any BT/GPS/wifi is an astonishing 3 days!! much better than Nokia 6120!!
5) No idea on diff charger....but for sure the car charger is the fastest..Fully charged <1hr...wth GPS on probably 1.5Hr-2hr
6) Yes few of us using it....but for me, naked is better

1) Yeah tried it. Now I can search on the go!
2) IC, I wanted to see the roads I've passed. That's why i need to record it. Impossible using mapking? Or I got to use garmin in order to record my routes?
3) Ya, now i stand direct under sun

and got my gps positioned in a few mins.
4) Changed to 2 bar. Still visible under sunlight. This improves the battery significantly. Besides, planning to buy 2400mAh battery and a docking charger from ebay. Anybody interested?
5) Yeah car charger is fast. But using dopod charger to charge from 5% to 80% took 9+ hours. Then I realised the bluetooth is on...
6) Ha, am afraid the flawless exterior will become flawfull.

Am still looking for a nice silicone case.
7) Thanks for your help stimix, will join the malsing club as soon as I get my hands free.
