Thanks for feedback.
Just heard from friend that AGPS involves no charges. He proved it by taking out sim card and using phone agps. Same satellite detection time as with sim card in phone. Strange.

hey guys, need a little advice here. I am planning to get a GPS, some Garmin Nuvi (dunno wat model yet), but a friend of mine suggested that I get a handphone with GPS capabilities. Cant make up my mind, would a phone with GPS function as well as a Garmin Nuvi? For phone, Im considering Nokia e73.

any charges for using a phone GPS? (sorry if im asking nooby questions)

thank you all.

i feel that nokia map more user friendly. but prepare to be charge 10sen for every time you use although a-gps is unactivated

Hi all....I've just got my E72-1 about a month ago and I'm really loving it after switching from HTC Touch which I found to be a nuisance especially when I'm trying to text or even make a call while driving as I keep pressing the wrong keys! So, I'm really loving my new E72...except I can't seem to get the GPS to work! 

I tested it today on my way home from work which is about 14-15km away. I went to GPS>Maps>Drive and selected "Drive home" which I've already predefined the location in the map.I took a slow drive all the way while constantly checking the phone. Well, the damn thing only displayed "Waiting for GPS" even after I've reached home about 40 mins later! 

Can someone tell me how to get the damn thing working? BTW its running on V051.018 firmware and I'm using Ovi Map V3.04...which I believe should be the latest versions available at the moment. I'm from Penang btw...anyone from Penang or anywhere else having the same problem?

Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!

talking about GPS..can someone help me with the following question tat i had with GPS pls..

Q1: if i use A-gps, telco charge me rite?...how baru can avoid being charged using gps?..

Q2: can i have the option of downloading the maps into my phone/memory card,and then whenever i wanna serach for direction, i serach it in the phone memory without connecting to any internet/data connection?..

q3: for those dedicated gps, do they get charged too when they use it to navigate?..

symbian is dead. time to move on.

I dun think any option in Ovimaps allowing you to do that. In Garmin, yes. There isan option sending your current location to youir friend and if your freind also having garmin, he can click the msg and automatically open up the location. Very useful if want to ask your friend to your current location.

Garmin XT is the best compare to nokia maps and mapking. Remember no illegal installation tutorial here kekee.

So far only Mobile XT have that function. I'm using Papago X5 and there is no option to sent our location dunno in other Papago version.

Pardon this post as the answer may be somewhere in between the 95 pages of this thread. My question is quite specific and I can't find the answer in the first few pages.

I have both OVI maps and Garmin installed on my N8. My phone line is Prepaid Maxis. I tried connecting to the satellite and the phone automatically uses A-GPS. I checked the phone and the charge is RM0.50 as opposed to RM0.10 suggested by some folks. I fiddled around with the GPS and internet and I'm not sure what I did wrong, and suddenly I got charged for RM1.00+. I think I got into the internet or something.
For Nokia N8, may I ask where is the setting to enable or disable A-GPS? It appears that everytime I want to use GPS especially OVI, the phone will automatically connect to the phone line using A-GPS. Also, how long is this A-GPS valid after it has been activated? Let say after using the GPS for 2-3 hours we want to use the A-GPS again to get to another destination. Will there be an additional charge?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thanks for all responses. Appreciated it.
This is the current setting in "Positioning Methods":-

Assisted GPS - Disabled
Integrated GPS - Enabled
Bluetooth GPS - Disabled
Wi-FI Network - Enabled If it's WiFi, then no charge but not sure about the 'Network' part. Does it mean free WiFi or Maxis Network?
Network based - Enabled You should disable this

Yeakyau, thanks for the information. Actually my N8 is already preloaded with Garmin software(Mobile XT) and unlike OVI the Garmin does not connect to the internet line. Hence, every satellite lock using A-GPS it will only use RM0.10, I believe.

OVI connects to the internet whenever in use, I believe(please correct me if I'm wrong), so internet charges will apply. I've got charged RM11.70 for about 1 minute usage as the rate is 10 sen per 10kB data.

I'm sticking to Garmin for GPS navigation purposes and have taken out OVI from the main window page.

I am actually not commenting on which maps are better, the OVI or the Garmin in my previous posts. I am suggesting that OVI maps require telephone charges since it connects to the internet whereas Garmin does not. If one has subscribed to mobile internet packages with low rates(or unlimited access to the internet), then using OVI will not be an issue. I do not subscribe to any internet packages and high telephone charges will be imposed if I use OVI maps as a form of navigation.

Aspire2006 just sent me a link via PM and yes, it has got something to do with the settings. I have adjusted the settings and OVI now does not automatically connect to the internet line now. Yes, I can use OVI maps now~!

Optiplex330, yes, it is the settings. Just wasted about RM20 meddling around with the applications and got charged for nothing when the apps hook up to the internet.

Now I will have the chance to compare between the Garmin and OVI and see which one is more user friendly. I guess both will work as fine, just a personal preference on which is better.

Cheers.

stop providing people with wrong information.
polygons are the one that slows down the machinery, not poi's.
