Soli.. Stimix .. I got it d.. Thx..
Yaosiang.. My agps is enabled.. The 15 minute lockon is due to inside building.. I tested it on my car d.. Less than 3 sec lockon d.. Thx for info.. But most of the hp nowadays usually default its agps as on d..

wow i like the new mfm! now it can say "U-Turn" ....
good work!

However beware of the Search function "bug" in both V1.51 & V1.52. U can't search by City. Error will be rectified by next release (Nxt monday) According to Antyong

im at singapore, using mobile online package 30gb/month. Does the agps charge ald including in my mobile broadband monthly charge if i want to activate it?

each time gmxt is switched on, it sucks up 4kB +/- worth of data.
to reach 30GB, u have to switch on gmxt like ...... > 100000000 times.

unless u run google maps. then data gets used more and that also ......... wont hit close to 10GB.

charges are data charges so use away !

Which is better in term of performance and bug free? Malsingmap or malfreemaps?

>1 year ago, I'm using MSM.
Earlier this year, I switch to MFM. Last month I just realised got MFM Lite and using it for now.

guy,
i need some answer for GPS.
first, my Omnia using GPS and my fren Nokia Tube using Assisted GPS and both of us using garmin
what is the different?
second, i found that my fren assisted GPS can even search even in the building and locking target within 1 min... it was so fast compare to my omnia running normal GPS mode. BTW can windows mobile set assisted GPS as well?

yaya..MFM better than MSM...its POI look cantik than MSM...

first - omnia is winmo device, and tube is s60 device. the agps in omnia is actually a transit file whereby it downloads the sat's location and it gets keyed into the mobile. meaning it just tells the phone's gps chip where to look for a sat lock to quicken the pace.
the symbian mobile device on the other hand, locks using sat and cellphone towers.

there are ways to go about it all.

to triangulate the position, 3 sat locks and a minimal of 2 cellphone towers are required for triangulation. the rest are all done using calculation error correction aka your phone's processor.

second - you can search even without sat signal leh. goto ---> settings ----> browse map

even if you can obtain a lock indoors, readings are quite off. i've done this so many times and found that, the positions are really off target. its good if you wish to tag some shoplots indoors, apart from that , i dont see much use for having garmin indoors especially in malls. easier to just go to information counter and ask.

winmo's gps especially on the omnia is quite spot on. most of my poi's embedded into MFM are from the omnia. only my track routes are from race chrono. dont feel disturbed just because the nokia phones get lock on faster. how much time can u waste getting a lock anyway ? its all mostly under 5 minutes and i'm sure u can spare 5 minutes. honestly, the omnia is able to give a "more accurate" reading then the nokia.

tip - if you're looking for a super accurate device with probably 2-5m correction allowance, go for military devices.

thank for your explaination. however, can winmo using 2 cellphone tower to lock any location??

honestly you can.

However before you jump for joy, i cant find "that" piece of software for it. even if i did manage to find it, its going to be costly to be using it. what i found quite some time ago, was to use something called, 3G assist. 3G assist is a piece of self written software by some unknown hero who wrote it for his pda. i honestly cannot find it, even until today.

but just in case u did come across it, 3G assist works by sending dummy data to your provider. when data is sent back from your provider, it bounces different packets through different towers. the data is then calculated and tabbed by the software, which is in reality, a calculation correction error software. judging from distance and time etc etc etc, it then works in sync with sat signals and walah ! you have superb AGPS. but also costly data charges (unless u run unlimited package)

sounds good right ? it is. i've only seen this twice. with my own eyes. the person who had it, didnt wanna let me know too much. cant be bothered to beg someone for it anyway.

so your next closest solution, more cost effective, is to either continue using enhanced gps, i think for omnia its called Xtra. or you can install gpsgate.

you can try reading more on the xda forums.

i know some even recommend using gps toggle

i've not used either. this is as far as i can help you on this. sorry.

you can also use other alternatives to speed up the process ..........

new location settings - assuming you roughly know where you are

or

google maps - which sucks data till no kingdom come

ok this might be wrong place to post but i hace no idea where to post this.

anybody can recommend me where to get gps device? place or better link me to someone in lowyat. thanks

malfreemaps got their own trading section in the forums. go visit , you might get some good deals.

in garage sales also got damn alot.

I got a HUGE question

let's say my version no 5.00.00 want to update to 5.00.40 do i have to reinstall everything and repurchase a new code ? or do i just simply plug in my phone and run the garmin 5.00.40 update program and everything will be "ASSUMED" the same ?

1 code 1 version 1 phone.

upgrade's cost money, garmin maps cost money, future release for the maps cost money.

wow wtf i can't launch my garmin now saying "Unable to execute file for security reasons" after i tried to update from 5.00.00 to 5.00.40, what do i do now

If your v5.00.00 is licensed, Garmin provides free patch/upgrades for minor-release, hence should not have problem to upgrade to v5.00.40
