I downloaded the malfreemap.. but i duno which folder to put in.. im using n95 1gb.. Im still very new to this gps in the phone..

Actually N79 is better. I tested both N78 & N79 side by side and was shock on how fast N79 acquire the signal. The only thing I dun like N79 is the keypad & the navi wheel...very difficult to press & control.

can you tell me what version of garmin you using and how you install it.
My N78 running version 5.00.00 and it run smooth.

wow, ts, i dunno you're a GPS pro leh...
long time no see.

ts.. im n82 user.. i use garmin 4.20 no problem.. but my uncle's n95 8GB always no signal.. oni got 1 bar.. i did the test.. 2 phones put together.. and find the signal.. my 1 can get 3-4 bar... but his n95 either 0 or 1 bar.. n95 really the weak ? and.. he said before that he use NokiaMaps ( original.. buy from nokia ) has no problem with routing... any idea ts ?

its normal because the GPS trasmitor is located below the slider.

I tested bothy n95 8GB n n82 i agree n82 locks faster and signal FULL BAR one

I am GPS user, Stimix GPS pro~

Each phone is different, I also dont know why, me and my friend's N82 put together and his one locks in 15-30 seconds, mine locks in 1-2 minutes. But if driving, mine locks very fast also.

It has nothing to do with Nokia Map, they are still using the same sensor in the phone. Sometimes GPS never use for a long time, they need longer time to lock signal. This is what we call COLD START. After locking signal for the first time, close Garmin and Open Garmin again, u will find that the GPS locks really fast just in a few seconds.

in my experience for E71 and N96, E71 does faster, if under the sky, my record is 30 seconds with garmin.

If I remember correctly, N82 GPS antenna is located at the back, above the camera. However, the phone GSM & wifi antenna is located at bottom, below the battery. So it is quite troublesome to hold the phone without blocking/absorbing the RF signal from the palm of your hand.

anyway its better than u need to use those external bluetooth right?

can share with us your experience about using external bluetooth GPS receiver? i'm having doubt with this device.

if u compare with nokia internal GPS the external one locks in 5 sec after connected to the phone.

Weakness is battery life u need to charge the Phone battery and the external gps battery. When connected u cant use bluetooth handsfree.

will easily line putus or not? any external gps receiver device to recommend? budget budget wan la..

budget like? holux? gpslim? depends on your budget

from 200-300

hehe, dunno if anyone here bored with his/her gps receiver, i will give it a try if anyone selling.

if u gonna pair with a weak battery phone i suggest not. Before the GPS battery drains out your phone flat edi

i just sold my holux receiver for 100 bucks
pretty satisfied with my built in one for now..
i recomend holux for yr external gps receiver like the m1000 or it's siblings

why didnt sell to me?

argh... any one selling?

sell me your e71
