yes / using A-GPS will make your GPS perform better and lock faster..
but it using connection.. @ charge you...

For me.. i like using it free.. and i'm happy with free service...
Since my N85/N79 GPS is locking faster than Vivaz.. So.. there is no reason I will use A-GPS..

Vivaz setting almost similar to any S60 R5 phones. Just that once at "positioning method"

U can't see AGPS!! I'm still wondering why!! However there is a similar "Network based" flag below..I normally untick this if I do not want AGPS..but it causes lotsa trouble esp when I go tracking (GPS track recording)..So since my worst ever tracking on Sunday, I switch on the "Network based" as well.

What you will experience on Vivaz is everytime you on Garmin or any GPS application & even camera (IF U on the GEOTAGGING" button)...It will ask you do you wanna connect to WAP or Wifi...u can either choose not to to avoid RM0.10 charges or choose yes to get quick fix.


Added on April 28, 2010, 9:42 am@Littlemin...Since you have read 1st page info on the differences between malfreemaps (myaseanfreemaps) & malsingmaps...Just to update you that by this time,

MFM has covered all of Malaysia & Sabah & Sarawak which on 1st page I did mentioned no Sabah/Sarawak mappers. & maps of East malaysia, Melaka, Johor & Singapore start from fresh at that point.

Right now.MFM maps of Melaka, Johor & East coast Pen Malaysia are much more detail than malsingmaps. For Singapore, the maps although very detail & as good as malsingmnaps but short of POIs..bcos of claims by malsingmaps Singapore mapper that claim MFm copying their POI at begining stage.. sad.gif

For Sabah & Sarawak + Brunei..it's a mix comment..certain new roads & taman, MFM is better but for older roads, seems like MSM still better.. smile.gif

By now, MFM also covering Thailand from South Thailand till Bangkok. However bangkok maps still far from perfect..probably in future..

This is the current cacat thing about Vivaz...Me too facing this irritating problem or BUG & hope nxt version Sony can rectify it...haha..really hate the promting msg...but FYI, my server access point I choose bt default as my home WIFI.

The promting to goto network also will come out if u switch on the geotagging inthe camera mode..I lready disable the geotagging mode..pheww..
Anyway, the GPS chip ib vivaz really inferior & acquisition of satelite really takes ages if you dunwan to pay..It took me 10min++ to axquire satelite from cold start on my 1st day! & also almost 5min without going for network..so just pay RM0.10 for the AGPS loh to get faster start-up..Not expensive.. smile.gif
