So far chuanping is d only one who managed to get a fix. What GPS software r u guys using?

read from xda-developers and modaco, try com4 and 4800 baud.

And, this one is important, don't touch any setting inside the "External GPS", else you have to hard reset to get the GPS working.

PS: I have not justify any statement, still wait patiently to get my own kaiser . But personally, I'll consider information from xda-developers and modaco as "reliable source". Hope this will help.

BTW, does Mapking has GPS port auto configuration?

It has auto detect. Go to "File", "GPS/Tracking" (I think) and there's a menu where u can select ur com port and baudrate. There is also an option for auto detect.

But I think it has nothing to do with the com port coz my friend managed to detect 2 - 3 satellites... then nothing...

and it remained nothing for all eternity...

If it were a com port problem, I doubt that it will even manage to get a fix onto the 2 - 3 satellites in the first place.

I am using Mapking provided HTC, got original serial number too
when u go in, choose GPS, then choose destination, then enter the location, and press destination again
then juz leave it on the dash board for awhile, for me is about 30 sec to locate the location
then when it is ready, it will be like a voice " GPS navigation started, please turn xxx"

when it is waiting for the signal, juz dont press anything

u can ask the guy ( i bought from PDA expert) to install the map, for me.. i got all the map for ASIA including Bangkok, sg, HK, taipei, tokyo etc etc and it is only 200mb+



p/s : pls bear in mind there wont be any signal if it is raining too heavily ... same to the Astro

Managed to get the GP to lock this morning. Took a while to lock though. But still better than my bro's E90.

I've written a review on this device here http://www.apedia.info/?p=145

One question, is there any free-community map for Mapking?

check this out:

http://www.malsingmaps.com/portal/downloads.php

Thanks but the URL is for Mapking R10 but I'm using R12. Mapking R12 couldn't detect it.

ah, i recived my baby today. Heh should we make club?

you will have to rename the downloaded file extension as xxxx.M7A

does anyone know how to hide sim contact in contact?

by the way to open battery cover is a nightmare! So dam hard to open it, need push hard and this will make this phone life shorter.

hi cheesy,
use the search function. I posted the registry edits to hide sim contacts nt too long ago.

hey chuanping, do u ever came across of this problem, the refresh rate of the navigation mode is very slow. like i took a turn and the mapking doesnt really shown that i had already made that turn...whole process i guess got 30sec. the refresh rate 30sec per frame? X_X i use my fren's d810 doesnt have this problem, so accurate and fast. almost sync with my driving direction.

the normal refresh rate for my mapking is about 5-10 sec
it is abit slow, but still can use

to hide sim details, install the hide sim contact.cab file which i have attached
to install, juz copy the file to memory card/phone then juz run it

For those who own Tytn II, what screen protector are you using? Any change to get martin field locally?

umm... I'm using Crystal View. No difference from MF or Brando I feel

why not using screen protector provided by htc?

cheesey, the free protector is horrible.

go pasar malam n buy d 10 bucks one also better than the htc one la..

got mine. The shop gave me another piece of screen potector, the HTC throw in the box. But the size doesn't match exactly, they said they will call me when they found the suitable size.

The GPS connect really fast. Even I sit indoor, and today is cloudy day(penang), I still able to get 4-5 sattelite locked. But it shown my attitude -12m ??? huh??? no wounder my house tends to flood.... lol

Hahaha! That's funny ziyi. No wonder ur house always flooded.

Hmmm... some ppl have trouble connecting to GPS, some ppl's connect quite fast.

Made a comparison with my friends' Tytn IIs. It seems it can only use Mapking R12 and not 2007. Anyone can confirm this?
