i dunno lol

use malfreemaps, no need stupid unlock code

thanks bro, will go for malfreemaps

To check the map version you can always go to Tools>Manage My Data>Map Sets

You can use that map because it was lock to specific Garmin device, you need to get the unlock code. You can checkout here for more details on unlocking that map.

As what bro buntutman says, MFM was easier since no need for you to apply the unlock code. As contributor to both community, learn on getting the unlock code will be a good knowledge to me...

yeah for number 1 ... just leave Integrated GPS ticked..
while the other option is untick

for number 2,,
i'm sure you can see the option
while in Nokia maps..
press option[left soft key] >> tools >> setting >> internet >> Go online at start-up >> Choose No

ok , thank !so it will free of charge , i just want to make sure only because , i'm using postpaid can't check my balance !

as of today,
MSM latest is V3.06
MFM latest is V1.71

thanks mate
simple question, what is the big difference if im using mobile garmin xt as agps compared to garmin device like 205W (ignore the big screen factor)?
Much more faster and high strengthness of signal?
Im using Mobile XT on my hp now but thinking of buying 205W garmin to put in my car

I've installed Garmin Mobile XT with the latest Malsingmaps and Malfreemaps successfully on N82. Want to ask if I want to stop using Malsingmaps and select Malfreemaps. How do I do that?

I go to
Manage my Data > Map sets > I see 2 maps. There is only 2 options to choose from (MapSource , Back). How to select only 1 map?

When I click on MapSource,
I see Malfreemaps v1.71, MFM POI v1.71, MFM Road POI v1.71, MSM MYSG v3.05, MSM Borneo 3.06, Malsingmaps All in one v3.06G [advan].

not sure if asked before:

If my gmxt was not connected after a certain period(meaning request to connect several times & i click 'No') will there be a delay in the Speed Trap/alert spots/as in not accurate position?
Thanks..

A dedicated device is always better. By using dedicated GPS device, you can save on h/p battery. The GPS device can connect to car charger. Bigger screen. Dedicated chipset, faster locking (without A-GPS). More powerful processor, faster map scrolling and feedback.

You can imagine it is similiar using h/p with camera as compared to dedicated digital camera like Canon 1000D.

Quoted From Garmin User:

I wouldn't jump to conclusion which is better. I have both and my PDA phone takes quite a while to lock on to satelites. To me, it would mean that there are times when I would already reached my destination before my pda phone (with Garmin Mobile XT) actually starts working. Maybe this is due to my pda phone being slow but another scenario is that when my pda does work, the navigation will be interrupted when a call comes in. Besides that, a dedicated unit tends to have bigger screen with large input buttons to allow quick input with minimum distraction. I am highlighting this simply because my pda (Samsung i780) has a relatively smaller screen and thus input while on the go can be quite fiddly. Now, considering the points mentioned, I am still very much attached to nuvi simply because i can get signal fairly quick and also the navigation is not interrupted when a call comes in. This is just my humble personal opinion and I hope my input is useful when considering your options. Cheers.

dedicated device is NOT always better.
GPS are weather dependant equipments. AGPS are less dependant under harsh weather conditions.
gps device can conect to car charger, your handfon no car charger ah ? lol

better or not is up to individual user's needs and wants.

A-GPS only connect once only when the app is launched. After that, it doesn't connect anymore, does it ? Until you close/exit the app, and then launch again, then A-GPS will connect once again for one time only.

ok and your point is ?

u can check/uncheck the map u wanna show/hide

Added on August 19, 2009, 6:20 pmu can also get a car charger for phone, so battery is not an issue.
nowadays handphones with touchscreen also have a big screen, unlike phones like n95, etc.
but the main thing really is cost. those with smartphones (with gps) can get a satnav for free, instead of paying of a dedicated device which lacks dedicated usage.

Thank you. Now I got it. I have to uncheck not just one but 3 maps with MSM.

i got problem with my garmin xt mobile for 5730xm...
there's no signal at all since morning till now...
wat the problem?

user probrem

anyway tis is end o the line for GMXT. 5.00.50 is last version to be released liao.

whoever got bugs especially the nokia 5800xm users, u ownself chap sang la. no more tech suppork and no more new version liao. end of the line for GMXT liao.

lucky i prepared to jump ship to another navigator liao.

Hmm... For my Nokia phone, I only see it connect once during launch and disconnect a few seconds later. After that, did not see EDGE/GPRS connecting anymore. Maybe I need to spend more time looking at the screen than the road in front. Will try to take note.
