yea like u said 1st time so what is the problem? Its only 1 time thing.

Yea either 1 is active at one time. If there is a call coming thru and i am using the garmin i will use loudspeaker.

But if u compare external GPS can lock fast and in any big structure places it still gets full bar.

ok

yes its installed in the memory card. i think maybe not garminxt causing the problem. i got fring installed too.
*
i oso got fring and opera mini and sum other sharewares which i havent activated yet.
plus i found sum nice ngage games in which each costs 30-50 bux to activate for life . activated the poker game already. did u open too many apps at one go ?

Hehe. Sharteef & me was having TT the other day & I was pretty shock that this N79 having the mother of all GPS chipset!! (SirfIII...similar to other standalone Garmin GPSr duch as selected NUVI & the mother tracker...60Csx!!)..Thus during that day I tested and that thing really fast....even at the five foot way of the kopitiam thumbup.gif shocking.gif

I can say that the speed of acquisition rivaled/comparable to those external BT GPSr

Lol, ok sifu^^. Thanks for all your help.  Been going for survey today, and unfortunately, Penang still post a high price for these gadgets. So, I am thinking of going for bluetooth device, priced around RM299. I am not worried about the battery life, that;s not a problem, since the car can recharge the battery.

RM200 also can get already smile.gif depends on what model, but it works great as well without any problem.

mah sifu has spoken. oh sifu, i wan spend u more teh tarik while u teach me all u know bout garmins.
downloaded mapsource but havent intall yet.


Added on November 23, 2008, 9:22 pmbtw i can only suspect that the chipset is a GSC3LT. i have no way of concluding which sirfstarIII chip it is. only supsect.
only 1 way to find out which is to dissect the fon. but i aint doing that. too new. wait 1 year warranty habis then i dissect unless someone else dissects first.

had the sos b4 i bought the fon. i did a lotta research b4 i bought it. recovering history is ........slow.
anyhow will continue diggin thru my vast history but rest assured 79 & 85 are similar in many ways.
i remember seeing a vid of the dissection of the n79 more than few weeks back but i cant even find that vid now.

no 6220c. i brought my n79 together with my wife's 6220c out for stimix to experiment on.
the 6220c ......... very slow in aquiring signal.

i'm yet to try the n85. will get my friend's unit for a few days just to try out and compare with mine.
