A dedicated device is always better. By using dedicated GPS device, you can save on h/p battery. The GPS device can connect to car charger. Bigger screen. Dedicated chipset, faster locking (without A-GPS). More powerful processor, faster map scrolling and feedback.

You can imagine it is similiar using h/p with camera as compared to dedicated digital camera like Canon 1000D.

i got problem with my garmin xt mobile for 5730xm...
there's no signal at all since morning till now...
wat the problem?

5800 and n97 is touch the screen to control/type/navigate lor.
n95, n82 use keypad lor (the real gmxt meant for s60 v2/v3)

why my 5800 gps in perak so week one? any idea?

Wanna ask u guys something.  I'm using MFM MY maps.  I'll be travelling to another country later (let's say AB), and I want to use GPS there.  Would this work:

1)  put AB's map as another name in Garmin folder, eg. GMAPSUPP_ab.IMG
2)  fly to AB
3)  rename GMAPSUPP.IMG (MY map) to GMAPSUPP_my.IMG
4)  rename GMAPSUPP_ab.IMG to GMAPSUPP.IMG

Also, how do I verify that the AB map is working properly before going there?  If I replace MY map with AB map here, would the map show in Garmin?  I tried "browse map" but it's blank.

Thanks.

hi , can anyone teach me how to get Full setting of speed trap setting ?
Thank

Have you guys install both MSM & MFM in GMobile XT?

I found something weird that both maps will cause conflict. My experience is I go to mapsets to disable MSM (untick the box), this will cause MFM to lose some roads, and fail to calculate my destination. Strangely, if I go E:\Garmin to rename MSM, then MFM will function very well.

Initially I thought that both maps can complement each other i.e when MSM lacks some roads, then MFM will show up but I was wrong.

Loves MFM custom POI on the map but the refresh rate is slower. But i heard MSM is more detail in Klang Valley. Which one to choose?

Is there any easier way to have both map without having to manually rename the map?

of course its normal, a-gps will make your phone make connection(gprs,edge,etc)
just make off, to make the navigation free

Its call A-gps because it Assist GPS to get a faster lock. Usually about 10kb = 10cents.

It assist the GPS by providing all the current satelitte location so the GPS know where to lock. So even u have A-gps but bad signal u still cant get a fast lock

maybe Deani just want to learn something new..??

i thought Deani is famliar with GPS' thing..
