Nokia Wireless GPS module LD-3W.. Anyone Know this thing?? Im Using N81 So There Is No Built In GPS Reciever.. Where Should I Get This Thing And How Much It Cost??
Im Using Nokia Maps But Useless.. Then I Installed Google Maps And It Works Great But My Credit Drains Like Fullspeed Water
Help Me Plss...

Not necessary Nokia. Any BT GPSr will works wth Nokia...such as

1) Garmin 10X (Recommended for easy setup but damn expensive)
2) Holux series such as M1000/m1200 & the older but much better sirf 111 model of 236 series
4) Podo, sanax, & etc....

If u intend to get Garmin MXT navigation, I suggest u to stick to Garmin10X. Others BT GPSr u need to seperately buy the SD card which will be another cost to you

Help Pls =x

I suggest u buy entry level / cheaper Bluetooth GPS Receiver like Holux, they cost around RM200 and can be used with N81 with Garmin Map, I personally test it myself last time before i switch to N82 and it locks satellite faster than my current N82.

Nokia Map indeed is useless though, u can use Garmin with Malsing/Malfreemap and once u get hold of GPS u will be very very happy haha~

U can follow what Stimix said by getting Garmin 10X receiver and use Garmin Software for free because it can pair with Garmin Receiver without having to buy the license.

or

U can buy a cheaper receiver and buy the license for Garmin Mobile XT

conclusion, Garmin 10X with free Garmin Mobile XT or Cheaper receiver and have to buy Garmin Mobile XT license.

Where Should I Get Those Gadgets Like Holux?? Im From Seremban

@stimix - i installed gmxt10 for winmo on my friends palm pro treo dunno what what else model number.

works fantastic. his signal lock even faster than mine. under 5 secs.
accuracy - off the grid. wayyyyyy off the grid.

funny thing is, when u install gmxt onto a winmo pda, i didnt know u can use it as a gmpc. remember the selection of use inbuilt or bluetooth connection in the system settings ? well i na pda u have additional 1 which is split into another 4. com4 com6 irda port and 1 other which i forgot. meaning i cna use the pda as a receiver only while hooked onto the pc and track direct using mapsos ?

I hv not try this option i.e hook up to the PC. Normally u need gps proxy & Nroute programme to track...hehe..u can try this...opsss...hv to sleep now..early flight to macau 2moro

Anywhere, I suggest u buy online, it can be cheaper, look around in Garage Sales area, someone selling very cheap. Can consider getting 1 unit from him then install ur own *cough* *cough* garmin mobile xt. A second hand unit is quite cheap also, I sold mine @ RM150 and frankly it works really great especially the battery life~


There is a version of Garmin for PC that has the same interface with Garmin Mobile XT. Didnt try it though but not bad , not sure how to pair with PC lol~

@stimix - ejoy your holidays ! see u next week ! dun get lost and may fair weather enable your gps to work 24/7 !

for old N-series its normal.

New nokia now lock as fast as |< 1 min

Hi. I wanna say thanks for those who helped me in the pass. I think i owe you guys some reviews on GPS usage heheh

I bought a bluetooth gps device that pair up with my dopod. After getting it to work with Garmin Mobile XT, I find that searching for street name aren;t getting any result.. For that, I have to search for landmark, or sometime looked at the map on the internet to get to the location and then mark it on My Location. Anyway, it is quite accurate, up to the store and shop name.

I hereby wish to thank everyone that has been patient with my stupid questions bombardment^^

anyone know how to make it lock faster?

get holux external blue tooth

send own sattelites up and use your own special codes

do not move.. lock is faster on static mode.

i try to search address... but it always no record.. like i wan to go jalan ipoh... jz type jalan ipoh or ?

what bout iphone? their gps is ok or not?

What Map are u using?

Jalan Ipoh? Try searching ipoh, j


Iphone GPS is a joke, its so expensive to stream the map.

im using nokie E71 with garmin mxt
i think its fine with me.. ^^
but, too bad.. gps in malaysia not cover all location.. so sux..
