Woooo dude.. careful. don't simple open. you using unlimited data plan or not ?

nokia map connect automatically, there is a bar on the lower right searching for satellite will be blinking in yellow...once connected it will turn green.

to enable a-gps u need to activate it in settings..nokia map come default with a-gps off

I saw one yellow bar on bottom right side keep blinking. Then above of it, got 0.0kb...means..i using GPRS to connect or what?
A-GPS is free or not?

the above 0.0kb mean u didnt use gprs..if you are using it will surely show u how many kb of data has been transfer.

A-gps need to pay,depend on your gprs

What is actual difference between normal GPS and A-GPS? Is there anyway to hack A-GPS so that it's free? Hehe..

if u can hack Digi, Maxis, Celcom...then A-GPS could be free..

Conventional GPS has difficulty providing reliable positions in poor signal conditions. For example when surrounded by tall buildings (resulting in multipath), or when the satellite signals are weakened when a GPS device is indoors or under trees. Some newer receivers are better at handling these situations.

In addition, when first turned on in these conditions, some non-assisted GPS units may not be able to download the almanac and ephemeris information from the GPS satellites, rendering them unable to function until a clear signal can be received continuously for up to one minute.

An A-GPS receiver can address these problems in several ways, using an assistance server:

The assistance server can locate the phone roughly by which cell site it is connected to on the cellular network.
The assistance server has a good satellite signal, and lots of computation power, so it can compare fragmentary signals relayed to it by cell phones, with the satellite signal it receives directly, and then inform the cell phone or emergency services of the cell phone's position.
It can supply orbital data for the GPS satellites to the cell phone, enabling the cell phone to lock to the satellites when it otherwise could not, and autonomously calculate its position.
By having accurate, surveyed coordinates for the cell site towers, it can have better knowledge of ionospheric conditions and other errors affecting the GPS signal than the cell phone alone, enabling more precise calculation of position. (See also Wide Area Augmentation System)
As an additional benefit, it can reduce both the amount of CPU and programming required for a GPS phone by offloading most of the work onto the assistance server. (This is not a large amount for a basic GPS – many early GPSs utilized Intel 80386-class 16MHz CPUs or similar hardware.)

A typical A-GPS-enabled cell phone will use an internet connection to contact the assistance server. Alternatively, it may use standard non-assisted GPS, which is slower and less accurate, but does not lead to network charges for data traffic, which can be considerable.[2] Some A-GPS solutions do not have the option of falling back to conventional GPS

is dere any ways to use GPS for free?

GPS is free, but if u enable A-GPS then got charges of GPRS, coz A-GPS uses GPRS to connect with communication tower to faster determine your location. So u can turn off A-GPS so that no GPRS charges, but for slower time to determine your location.

I connect for more than 10 minutes...but stil no response from satelite. LOL!

Are you inside the building or open space?

can i know what is maxis "message centre number"???
i wanted to send sms..but it call me to enter the number..
after i format my n82 jz now n now become like this.. @@

I sit just next to windows..

May be you can try go outside

GPS is free n garmin is de software 4 us 2 use gps izit? m i rite?

May be you can try to check at maxis website or call the service center

Is Garmin XT better than Nokia Map? Hehe...kingvui, can pm me guide to install "ahem" garmin? Hehe..

MY MAXIS SMSC

Added on September 24, 2008, 9:47 pmPlease differentiate between the GPS Engine and the Map System.

Nokia Maps and GMXT are the GPS Engine.

Nokia Maps (same name ), Malsingmaps, etc. are the Map System.

You need both to work. The engine may be good, but if the map is lousy or not updated, then it is no use also. Vice versa.

You can google it to find de, coz I learn form google oso de

cute_boboi, i love your barcode so much! Can teach me how to do it? Just now i play with barcode reader in N82 on your barcode. LOL!
