U no sapork malfreemaps liao ..me update every monday..

wahhh...
stimix,u r mapper ah??

hye guys, i would like to ask something..

why when i try conencting garmin, i cant have coverage for the gps. although i wait for long time ( like 10-20 mins) n stay at 1 place at that time, i still got red signal .. i tried restart,same prob also.. what should i do? thanks

I u stay at 1 place & that place is block by roof, trees & highrises..u will not be getting even .15Min...GPS needs open skyvbiew-lah

no but i am.

Er how come my can use indoor?

wah so terra ah ? fuuuuuUUuUUUUUUu .

same for me..
N85 without A-GPS.. only lock in 1 minute in my room[2nd storey]

Current nokia AGPS after N78 models & beginning from N79 hv a better AGPS chipset & also better anttenna placement thus it's fast if u acquired the last position of switch off & on at the same last location...Otherwise, it will still be slow...So after the 1st start, the data is still inside phone, thus acquisition is fast...U try that on N78, N95 or even E66 and tell me whether u can get inside your house...

Furthermore, just a small opening on the window will do on newer nokia phone..My 5800 also can acquire fast satelite inside the hoem..But theorically..GPS needs sky view!

Suprisingly fast acquisition using nokia does not translate to accurate tracklogs!

And just to confirm what Mr Wokayy said..yeah I'm tracker & not a mapper Meaning I tracked lotsa roads & been using HP6515, Asus535, N78, 5800 & also a short sting wth Omnia. & these contributions were sent to MSM/MFM for the mappers to map those roads & POI...

Well from all the re-played tracklogs the best & accurate tracklogs were actually from the SirfII chipset in Asus535 but acquiring satelite on this phone sucks!! Sometime 5 min & in KL>10Min!! but my tracklogs loved by MSM/MFM mappers....after swicthing over to N78 & even 5800. I can feel the diff in the speed of satelite acquisition esp 5800..super fast...But the tracklogs sxxks!!

stimix is previously the golden boy of msm/mfm with his golden track logs.

that was until he got hold of a 5800xm. so a reminder to all of u saying your 5800xm is the best nokia phone, especially got gps, no its not. it sux ......period !
your 5800xm is pathetic. if you want a real gps, get a standalone device or a pda. PDA's > all nokias for gps.

Used to sent my tracklogs to both MSM/MFM ... but now more towards MFM as they have the weekly update rate. If sent to MSM only 3 to 6 months later I can see my tracks on the map. By that time already forgot where I tracked before

If continue like this MSM is gonna be dead laa ...! stimix, you should ask whomever at the throne of MSM to compile faster laa. Don't care if the one compiled by Garmin is once or twice a year. I no need junction view - can always make turn at last minute. Typical malaysian drivers maa

Haha..I seldom at MSM liao.....but I kenot forget my root mah...so hv to mention abit MSM although seldom there liao...

errr , N96 received signal faster than N85 or N85 received than N96?

I think due to less number of mapper make map drawing will take longer time... Only now the appointed a lot of new mapper... Perhaps after this MSM map will be available twice a month...

If the output is slow, mappers will also become slow..
doesn't matter if you have one or gazillion mappers

MFM should be an inspiration for them to keep up...
but instead I see MSM fading away into oblivion

Eh kota damansara really screwed up

i know about kota damansara's new 1 way system. i havent begun to do it yet. even BU sony road closure oso i havent ask sunny to disconnect the road.

and yea unker nyem, the one i dulan the most is msm's stupid map id. free is free la still wan map id. $#@$#!@#!@#!.

oh I was like omg when I was there the other day..... all cars simply turn into one way then somemore horn me as if I was in the wrong but I saw no entry they turn into my lane

wei who are u in MFM...macam kenal saja

eh why the garminXT when I want to type address if I go into the menu which shows symbol sure hang inside?
