I have run both GMXT and Nokia Maps simultaneously for 10-20 minutes driving. No clash.

RM3.24 for a licensed copy and comes with support or maybe upgrade is worth it, even after *ahem*.

Officially licensed lah. RM3.24 cannot even eat a normal meal nowadays.

Promotion over already around 3pm (GMT+8 KL Time)
Now back to US$70.

I have both Nokia Maps 2.0 and GMXT. I use both to lock satellites together, but don't navigate both concurrently.

Locking satellite signal is subjective for both NM2.0 & GMXT, sometimes within <5 sec lock, sometimes takes 2-3 minutes. Sometimes won't lock and I need to close app and run again.

Nokia Maps 2.0 and GMXT is the GPS software application engine only. It needs to depends on the map, which is also called Nokia Maps for Nokia and option to use other maps like malsingmap/mapking for GMXT.

Nokia Maps map files are just around 15MB for Malaysia, while malsingmap for Peninsular Malaysia + SG alone is 28MB (if include Borneo is 35MB?) So you can imagine how much maps are missing from Nokia Maps map for M'sia.

FYI, the Nokia Maps map is not provided by M'sia government. All mapping are done by private mapping companies. It depends which map Nokia wants to purchase/deal to bundle into Nokia Maps.

I'm also waiting for it since June'08. I was hoping PC Fair Aug'08 has it, but I don't think so. Will check at PC Fair today.

PC Fair KLCC Aug'08 Field Report:

SanDisk booth only sells 8GB micro-SDHC @RM119 As mentioned, a store in LYP is selling at RM105

16GB SanDisk or any other brand micro-SDHC are not available.

Note: 32GB SDHC are available around RM580-650

Nope.

This is my 97th same posting on N95/N95 8GB vs N82.

1) Which one you prefer ? N95 Slide or N82 Candybar ?

2) Which one you prefer ? LED or Xenon flash ?

3) Do you need the music multimedia keys ?

4) Prefer 2.4" vs 2.6/2.8" screens ?

5) Can you live with N82 small keys ?

If you have more answers on former rather than latter, then buy N95. Otherwise, go for N82.

lucaswjk,

Go read all the pages in N82 V1 and V2 and count it

andrewL,

What is your procedure to use the card ?
1) Format 8GB inside N82
2) Copy 2GB into 8GB (over all) using PC USB Reader, and overwrite all files including hidden/system (enable in win explorer -> tools -> options -> )
3) Put 8GB into N82 to use

Otherwise, try do:
1) Full scandisk on 8GB card using PC USB Reader

2) A more tedious way to ensure not file system problem.
i) Backup phone memory into memory card (2GB)
ii) Put 8GB inside N82 and format it.
iii) Copy 2GB into 8GB (over all) using PC USB Reader, and overwrite all files including hidden/system (enable in win explorer -> tools -> options -> )
iv) Put 8GB into N82
v) Restore memory card (8GB) into phone memory

Might be possible card is faulty ?

Why I suggest to format the 8GB card inside N82, is to let the N82 "prepare" the hardware, rather than a PC. Have you resolve your problem ?

Well, AP are around 1300-1500. Authorized are 1800. It depends on how much you want to save and the hassle if N82 has problem and claim warranty. Both AP & Authorized have advantages and disadvantages which has been discussed in length. For me, I go for original.

To compare a dedicated GPS device with SiRFstar III and a built-in integrated device is like comparing a durian with a banana. For N82, you need to be outside to lock the satellites. I know SiRF III devices can lock satellites even under trees/car porch and some places that N82 will not be able to lock.

BTW, just ate "Chook Keok" durian today.

Well, go and try Nokia Maps whether it is sufficient for you. You may need to download and install Nokia Map Loader in your PC to download maps into your N82.

However, I heard Malsingmaps has the most extensive maps for Peninsular M'sia, Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Singapore.

Not sure on AP set. Mine is original. Maybe others can share.

You can try Nokia Maps in other N devices with built-in GPS like N95, N95 8GB, etc.

If Nokia Maps not good enough, then try GMXT + Malsingmap.

If still not good enough, hire Senoi Praaq to guide you

N82 from empty to 100% full takes around 2 hrs. If not totally empty, it takes around 1-1.5 hrs


>#2500 already

lucaswjk,

yeah, Chicaman already take over N82 V3, like Anwar take over Wan Azizah Permatang Pauh MP
Maybe can ask admin/moderator to close this thread
