Geee..same comment as wat the nasty MFm mod told me..no respect ppl wan

Wah straight forward ah bro hehe...

Hi. I have never used a GPS and got some questions and seeking some answers. Thanks in advance.

Assuming I went for some jungle trekking and carry a GPS phone like the Nokia E52. After returning back to my office, is there a way for it to show where I have been in the jungle? And superimpose it on a map? The route I have taken. The place that I have stopped (and a way to make remark that I stopped at that place for some particular reason)?

Haha I hv been doing this as my past time hobby for years..sure you can. You can either using the following software to record your tracks...

1) Garmin MXt
2) Race Chrono http://www.racechrono.com/download/
3) Velox http://www.veloxgps.de/
4) Nokia sport trackers &
5) more

The 1st 3 are my best companion..& no 1, is the usual navigation software (U need to buy the license)

Here's the sample of my past mountain bike tracklogs showing the router, Avg speed & also altitude recorded via race chrono & re-payed using Garminmapsource:




Here's mine using Velox & uploaded to their website:

hey the free version of the gps will show where am i right? but lets say if i click somewhere, the free version of the gps wont navigate me there right? or will it?

Which free version u're refering too? Race Chrono or Velox or Nokia maps (The software & maps are free but not the navigation side)

lets say just take the free garmin software and malsing map so i can only see it like a map and show where am i and not navigate whatsoever?

garmin XT is only free if u are using external bluetooth GPS. Its like actual full version garmin navigate and everything

so if internal gps cannot navigate?

race chrono is free and does not navigate u to anywhere other than holland

anyway how much is the charges if i use the navigation version?

Internal gps u need pay to be able to navigate

understand this, if your phone has a built in gps chip, you can use it.

so hence u need a software to run it the gps.
1 - nokia maps - not free, montly charges to navigate you and data charges when it navigates u.
2 - garmin mxt - pay 1 time for software - map is free, navigation is free , startup may be free or u can choose to pay (either option available)
3 - igo - oso like garmin, pay 1 time. off and on either u wish u to pay or wish to kiamsiap oso can.
4 - trekbuddy - all free but no map.
5 - buy msia book map, as u drive u take compass and turn the page. this one confirm 1 time fee which is the book oni.

another one is Google Maps. which u need to pay every data charges downloaded for the map. If u subscribe like Celcom 3G unlimited, then u can use this one all the time, if not, ur bill will kaboom!

wait can i use the trekkbuddy with the malsing or malfree maps?

Minor correction. The nokia maps, if u pre-download selective maps via Nokia Map loaders, The maps is also free..However charges still apply to buy the navigation module..current pricing reduced liao..~RM32/mth nia..previously ~RM40.
