It is in Garmin, Tools > Settings > display

not in the phone > tools > settings > display

lol~

Very easy, dont need any instruction, play around with the software and get familiar with it

If u are using free map, there are several bugs including location search where u cant search from the search lol

btw, no need to spell state, skip that part go to the next one until it askes u to enter Street

I never use nokia map since the day i bought my N81 and N82.

I have been using garmin and it works great.


What you can do now is remove all the map and reinstall the map. When u update that time did u remove it in the first place?

Delete ur maps as well~

Did u install the support files?

U are recording those roads where not included in the map?

I tried recording with garmin b4. Something like that, dotted line and contains info like speed, distance etc~

There isnt any Malaysia map for PSP unless using homebrew google map with cache, but that will be troublesome.

Oh, another thing is, u do all experience this?


When I am outside, when I turn on my garmin, I look at the signal. I can see many bars of signal and the signal is quite high, but then it do not have color in it, just blank bar. If the bar got color means signal locked already. I was wondering, why my phone GPS can detect so many signal and strong signal but cannot lock with them.

I mean this



Sometimes it show a lot but not connected. If connected, the bar will be blue color inside. But sometimes it takes very long to lock although can detect many satelite


In Garmin got Most Often to choose, but never state how many sec.


Same here....

Oh, okok so its normal lol I thought something is wrong

Actually it depends u know, i got a friend his N82 can acquire faster satelite signal than my phone, i dont know why. Both of us on garmin at the same time and his phone lock satelite around 30 second, while mine takes up to minutes. Tested a few times already.

Using HOLUX M-1000 I can get signal at home in 5 seconds around 10 feet close to the windows. More than 10 feet than a little tough. Using my phone is really really difficult.

Anyway, dedicated GPS or Bluetooth GPS receiver is better than GPS built-in in phone, unless they are using better chip or those chip used in GPSr and put it in phone, then only can compete with dedicated GPS.

u are really really lucky man to get that phone >.<

1. Select the signal bar on top left corner, then u will see GPS information, then press middle button again.

2. Yea because havent use ur garmin b4, therefore it will show the default location, after getting the location for the first time, it will change. you can change to km/h in tools > settings > system > distance/speed, elevation, depth > metric

3. tools > Manage my data > My locations > find the point u saved > press middle button > change name


Bro, play around with garmin and get familiar with it~

yes can... look around in My Locations > find the one u wana delete, press middle button instead of left softkey manage > then press left softkey for delete

Erm I dont think so because we can only have a map at a time

The only way is to rename it and load either one everytime~

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.

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~

What Map are u using?

Jalan Ipoh? Try searching ipoh, j


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

Free Map ? or Gold Map?

Free Map got bug.

Use goldmap or Malfreemap, it covers most of the important location except urban area


If not mistaken garmin updated their version so it is compatible with innov8?

Route 66 is not suitable for malaysia because there isnt any map for us

use gold map or malfreemap
