Not Android kenot use Garmin..It's more like when Garmin going to provide a navigation software using Android platform...Rumours since last year is that they suppose to roll out Garmin Android sometime mid or 3rd quarter of 2009..but now already 4th quarter wor...Instead of Android, they are now concentrating on the JV wth asus on their own Nuvi phone..currently on Linux 7 winmo platform....Garmin MXT is dead liao.

Papago is abit faster in this they enter Android market faster & smarter... biggrin.gif ..For sure lotsa GPS phone enthusiast will jump ship soon..

It does not make any sense to me. ALL AGPS does is to tell the GPS receiver WHERE in the sky to look for the satellites. As to whether the GPS receiver can accurately acquire satellite signal or not has nothing to do with AGPS.

the last time I checked, the data transfer involved in AGPS was about 5KB. Maxis postpaid charges 1 sen/kb so it's 5 sen/AGPS data transfer.

You are totally right mate.

hey guys, need a little advice here. I am planning to get a GPS, some Garmin Nuvi (dunno wat model yet), but a friend of mine suggested that I get a handphone with GPS capabilities. Cant make up my mind, would a phone with GPS function as well as a Garmin Nuvi? For phone, Im considering Nokia e73.

any charges for using a phone GPS? (sorry if im asking nooby questions)

thank you all.

if your purpose is navigation e73 screen is too tiny 2.36inch only. U can consider garmin phone

Pardon this post as the answer may be somewhere in between the 95 pages of this thread. My question is quite specific and I can't find the answer in the first few pages.

I have both OVI maps and Garmin installed on my N8. My phone line is Prepaid Maxis. I tried connecting to the satellite and the phone automatically uses A-GPS. I checked the phone and the charge is RM0.50 as opposed to RM0.10 suggested by some folks. I fiddled around with the GPS and internet and I'm not sure what I did wrong, and suddenly I got charged for RM1.00+. I think I got into the internet or something.
For Nokia N8, may I ask where is the setting to enable or disable A-GPS? It appears that everytime I want to use GPS especially OVI, the phone will automatically connect to the phone line using A-GPS. Also, how long is this A-GPS valid after it has been activated? Let say after using the GPS for 2-3 hours we want to use the A-GPS again to get to another destination. Will there be an additional charge?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have mention this to many people per lock is 10cent . Multple lock it will charge like i mention if u go under tunnel or places the gps signal gets interfere it will try to use a-gps it will charge.

How to prevent this two ways

Way 1 - Before you start your journey connect to a wifi zone and use ovi maps to connect then in positioning setting use only integrated gps


Way 2 - Before you start your journey turn on a-gps once u get a lock turn off a-gps and only leave integrated gps on.


Its located under MENU > SETTINGS > APPLICATIONS > POSITIONING

If it charge u more than 50cents then its not because of a-gps but also network based gps.

actually both are free if u set it right. Ive been using it since October 2010

For big road and city ovi maps is way better because of its lane assist.


Other than tat garmin is better
