Status: Meditating™	Since this is a Handphone and Telecommunication section, I will be providing details related to handphone only, no detailed GPS explanation will be included. This FAQ is not fully written by me and I copy, edit and compile them for easy reference by LYN member. Tutorials are written by me. Anyone can feel free to post question and find any error made by me and I will get the FAQ updated. GPS FAQ What is GPS? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a satellite-based navigation system made up of a network of 24 to 36 satellites placed into orbit by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military applications, but in the 1980s, the government made the system available for civilian use. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. What do I need to use GPS? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Now you know GPS is FREE of Charge. You are interested to know what do you need to use GPS. There are different type of GPS device/configuration. Handheld Unit - The handheld units (these have smaller screens) are generally used by people who go hiking, mountain biking, tracking (to map new trails or roads). (This one is not suitable for us, continue reading below.) Automotive Unit - The Automotive units are generally designed for car navigation. Some of these models come with Bluetooth and MP3 capability. All these units have an external storage card via SD card or equivalent. (I won’t elaborate much on this, because we are in Handphone Section) Mobile PDA Unit - The 3rd category are for those who prefers to use their PDA (whether be it the Windows Mobile platform, Palm OS platform or Symbian OS platform) for road navigation, phone and PDA functions. There are 2 different case: first is you can use the built in GPS receiver in the PDA or Smartphone or the second case is you buy a GPS receiver (GPSr) and pair with your PDA / Smartphone through Bluetooth. NOTE : Usually GPSr tends to receive faster signal and better signal than built-in GPS in PDA or Smartphone. How much do I have to pay to use GPS service? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « GPS service is FREE of Charge. There are no subscription fees or setup charges to use GPS. However, navigational software is not free. GPS receiver will only tell you where your location on Map is but if you want to go to a place with real time navigation, you need buy the full version of software so that it will guide you step by step to go to a place. What is A-GPS? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « A-GPS stands for Assisted GPS. Assisted GPS, generally abbreviated as A-GPS, enhances the startup performance of a GPS satellite-based positioning system. It is used extensively with GPS-capable cellular phones as its development was accelerated by the U.S. FCC's 911 mandate making the location of a cell phone available to emergency call dispatchers. Conventional GPS has difficulty providing reliable positions in poor signal conditions. For example when surrounded by tall buildings (resulting in multipath), or when the satellite signals are weakened when a GPS device is indoors or under trees. Some newer receivers are better at handling these situations. In addition, when first turned on in these conditions, some non-assisted GPS units may not be able to download the almanac and ephemeris information from the GPS satellites, rendering them unable to function until a clear signal can be received continuously for up to one minute. An A-GPS receiver can address these problems in several ways, using an assistance server: * The assistance server can locate the phone roughly by which cell site it is connected to on the cellular network. * The assistance server has a good satellite signal, and lots of computation power, so it can compare fragmentary signals relayed to it by cell phones, with the satellite signal it receives directly, and then inform the cell phone or emergency services of the cell phone's position. * It can supply orbital data for the GPS satellites to the cell phone, enabling the cell phone to lock to the satellites when it otherwise could not, and autonomously calculate its position. * Simply capturing a brief snapshot of the GPS signal, with approximate time, for the server to later process into a position.[2] * By having accurate, surveyed coordinates for the cell site towers, it can have better knowledge of ionospheric conditions and other errors affecting the GPS signal than the cell phone alone, enabling more precise calculation of position. (See also Wide Area Augmentation System) As an additional benefit, it can reduce both the amount of CPU and programming required for a GPS phone by offloading most of the work onto the assistance server. (This is not a large amount for a basic GPS – many early GPSs utilized Intel 80386-class 16MHz CPUs or similar hardware.) A typical A-GPS-enabled cell phone will use an internet connection to contact the assistance server. Alternatively, it may use standard non-assisted GPS, which is slower and less accurate, but does not lead to network charges for data traffic, which can be considerable.[3] Some A-GPS solutions do not have the option of falling back to conventional GPS (as with the new iPhone 3G). High Sensitivity GPS is an allied technology that addresses some of the same issues in a way that does not require additional infrastructure. However, unlike some forms of A-GPS, high sensitivity GPS cannot provide instant fixes when the phone has been off for some time. Source Taken from Wikipedia and pasted here for easy reference : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Phone Will I be charged when using A-GPS? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yes, since you will be sending and receiving data from server, your TELCO will charge you based on the GPRS/EDGE/3G used. I would like to use GPS completely FREE, can I turn off A-GPS? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Go To Menu -> Settings -> General -> Positioning -> Positioning Methods -> Assisted GPS (unselect it!) In Nokia MAP version 2, Press Options > Tools > Settings > Internet > Go Online at start-up > No. If I did not follow the route during navigation by the software, what will happen? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « In most case, it will recalculate a new route and guide you to the destination you chose earlier.

Status: Meditating™	Okay, I have a Smartphone with built-in GPS receiver or a Smartphone with external GPS receiver and have the basic understanding of GPS. How do install the software to use the GPS? Symbian: Nokia Map Most of the Symbian OS 9.1 and above comes with Nokia Map in their firmware. Nokia Map is Smart2Go and being used by Nokia in Symbian firmware. Nokia Map is the most simple Navigation Software because you don’t have to install it as it comes preloaded in the firmware. There are 2 version of Nokia Map, which is version 1 and 2. Most of the Nokia Map comes with Symbian OS is version 1, but in the latest V30 firmware of N82 , N95, N95 8GB, it comes with version 2 of Nokia Map. Nokia Map need to be installed into phone memory and if you want to use the new version of Nokia Map, you can download it here http://www.nokia.com.my/A41159293 and select the correct model then follow the instruction there and install it into your phone (Make sure you have around 10MB free memory in PHONE MEMORY). Now what you need to do is install Malaysia Map. To install Map into memory card, you need to download Nokia Map Loader. In the same website http://www.nokia.com.my/A41159293 , you can download the latest Nokia Map Loader. NOTE: Before you run Nokia Map loader, you need to start Nokia Map in your phone with memory card inserted into the phone at least once so that Nokia Map Loader will recognize later. Now connect your phone through MASS STORAGE to PC and run Nokia Map Loader. It will now detect your phone. Choose what Navigation Voice and the Country of the MAP you want to install. After Nokia Map Loader finished downloading the MAP, it will copy into your memory card and now you should be able to view those map you downloaded earlier in your phone.

No guide to AHEM AHEM it will be written here. Don't PM me for LINK or Guide to AHEM it. I will not entertain all the PMs. Remember, GOOGLE is your best friend. Garmin provide a FREE version of Garmin Mobile XT, HOWEVER you can only use it with GARMIN BRAND of Bluetooth GPS receiver, it won't detect any other bluetooth receiver under 1. Use Bluetooth GPS (see screenshot provided below) or internal GPS receiver by Smartphone/PDA. Usually it comes in Memory card that plug into your Smartphone/PDA when you buy GPS 10x. So it will only detect GPS 10x. (GPS 10x is a GPS receiver produced by Garmin) The package is Garmin Mobile 10 or Garmin Mobile 20 (discontinued). In order to use it with Internal GPS or other brand of GPS receiver you have to purchase the original Licence and it will be able to detect other brand of GPS receiver/Internal GPS receiver under 2. Use Attached/Built-in GPS receiver. Download/Install Garmin Mobile XT Here is the link https://buy.garmin.com/shop/store/downloads...D=138&pID=11413 Remember to install Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap Ver. 4.xx.xx as of Apr 19, 2007 and Garmin Mobile XT Support Files Ver. 4.xx.xx as of Jul 11, 2007 for those people who installing it for the first time.

Malsing Map The reason why most of Malaysian and Singaporean use Garmin is because of MALSING map. It is the map which is updated frequently by the Malsing community based on the contribution of the user. To download the Malsing MAP, here on here http://www.malsingmaps.com/portal/downloads.php Download Free S'pore & West M'sia Map for (Peninsula Malaysia and singapore) or Free East M'sia Map (Sabah Sarawak). Then click on the GMAPSUPP for MXT Symbian. Place the downloaded IMG file into Garmin Folder in ROOT memory card. There is a GOLD version for members who contributed to the community. In order to use that version, you have to contribute POI (Point of Interest to the Forum - Read Malsing Forum for more info) or bug to them. Then you can request the KEY to unlock the GOLD MAP. ~~However someone leak the gold map, google for it, the keyword is Malsing GOLD v2.30~~ Malfreemap Another Map for Malaysian and Singaporean besides Malsing MAP. http://malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=468&start=0 What is the Difference between Malsing and Malfreemap?

Status: Meditating™	Thanks to the Moderator from Malsing and Malfreemap - Stimix for the explanation of the difference between Malsing and Malfreemap QUOTE(stimix @ Nov 16 2008, 11:26 AM) PMed to you oledi but it's good to highlight again the history..Infact abit of sad history ...Malsingmaps started off wth Adilothman (M'sia) & Aprivate (Singapore), In between, others such as antyong, jmleng, noah, berngps & more joined in & resulted in MSM as what it's Today, However in 2006, there is a differerences between few mappers and resulted on the 1st word of war in believer of opensource & mappers' owned maps. Then nearing to 2007 & continue till Aug'08, survey was put up to commercialise malsingmaps and suprisingly majority support malsingmaps to be commercialized i.e copyrighted the maps & sell to commercial interested parties. Nevertheless, the maps will still be free for contributors. Although survey was put-up by the admin, certain mappers & even the admin are actually disagreed on the commercialization. & also impending "Gray" area on how Garmin going to re-act to this issue! Thus, it was decided that those mappers that disagreed on commercialization to pull-out from MSM & set-up new forum..i.e malfreemaps.com and in the beginning, malfreemaps will provide updates to malsingmaps too...However on the day the new forum set-up, things doesn't works as what it should be and thus...the emminent break-off of MSM & Malfreemaps... Hehe..u should knows by now who are those mappers that disagree on commercialization Well, although there's differences in opinion, thing will probably cool down in future...Well, the 2006 mapper that pull out from MSM has returned as the new mapper to EPM & NPM & probably PRK-R too...so wait & see-lah At this point of time, if u ask me which maps is more up to date, I will say malfreemaps bcos it's updated every week & no tedious unlocked code needed. Progress on Melaka, Johor & Singapore in malfreemaps is catching up very fast too.. QUOTE(stimix @ Nov 16 2008, 01:35 PM) No both are consider competing website already. Suppose to be win-win but now total break-off...U either choose Malsingmaps or malfreemaps. Malfreemaps are more up to date & POIs are more prominent for eg logos of Shell, petronas, Esso, Giant, Tesoc & etc. however they are starting new on Melaka, Johor & singapore maps which is suprisingly fast from the day 1 of breakoff...Too bad up to todate no Sabah & Sarawak mappers yet. Malsingmaps are less updated in North Central & East coast bcos the last updates was in Sept'08 whereas, malfreemaps has been updated ~ 5 times since break-off!! However, contributions in malsingmaps will not be updated in malfreemaps & vice-versa..Each forums have their own contributors. So what u se now in malfreemaps & malsingmaps are different!...In future..no idea.. This post has been edited by chicaman: Nov 16 2008, 02:26 PM

Help...! Yes they use google map as map and u need to stream the map using 3G/EDGE. Unlike Symbian where we can install software and map and use the GPS in the software. Sorry to say , Sony Ericsson GPS is useless unless you have unlimited data plan~

Using Garmin & Mapking, u need to buy the software initially & thereafter the maps is downloadeable from malsingmaps.com (Garmin + Mapking) or malfreemaps.com (Only Garmin version) The devices are very subjective...any phone/pda phone with built=in GPS receiver will do OR any Symbian or windows mobiles devices without built-in but no problem pairing wth ext BT GPS receiver.

I'm using both PDA & Nokia for navigation i.e: Asus P535 I'm using Garmin Que & Mapking. Garmin Que/GPS proxy for tracking & Nokia N78 wth Garmin MXT/Nokia maps for navigation. So it's up to your budget & what u really like...I choose Asus bcos of it's SIRFIII chipset & also the speed 520mhz. & reasoneable at the point of time (Not now-lah), & Nokia N78 bcos it's the cheapest inbuilt GPSR wth WIFIO, 3.5G connection QUOTE(-Y- @ Nov 6 2008, 08:02 PM) sorry for not be specific. what i meant was, phone/pda. im thinking htc touch hd. which will available soon. the 3.8" screen is very tempting..

Dunno Moderator 3,542 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Puchong, Selangor	PMed to you oledi but it's good to highlight again the history..Infact abit of sad history ...Malsingmaps started off wth Adilothman (M'sia) & Aprivate (Singapore), In between, others such as antyong, jmleng, noah, berngps & more joined in & resulted in MSM as what it's Today, However in 2006, there is a differerences between few mappers and resulted on the 1st word of war in believer of opensource & mappers' owned maps. Then nearing to 2007 & continue till Aug'08, survey was put up to commercialise malsingmaps and suprisingly majority support malsingmaps to be commercialized i.e copyrighted the maps & sell to commercial interested parties. Nevertheless, the maps will still be free for contributors. Although survey was put-up by the admin, certain mappers & even the admin are actually disagreed on the commercialization. & also impending "Gray" area on how Garmin going to re-act to this issue! Thus, it was decided that those mappers that disagreed on commercialization to pull-out from MSM & set-up new forum..i.e malfreemaps.com and in the beginning, malfreemaps will provide updates to malsingmaps too...However on the day the new forum set-up, things doesn't works as what it should be and thus...the emminent break-off of MSM & Malfreemaps... Hehe..u should knows by now who are those mappers that disagree on commercialization Well, although there's differences in opinion, thing will probably cool down in future...Well, the 2006 mapper that pull out from MSM has returned as the new mapper to EPM & NPM & probably PRK-R too...so wait & see-lah At this point of time, if u ask me which maps is more up to date, I will say malfreemaps bcos it's updated every week & no tedious unlocked code needed. Progress on Melaka, Johor & Singapore in malfreemaps is catching up very fast too.. QUOTE(chicaman @ Nov 16 2008, 02:43 AM) Malfreemaps? Can tell me more bout it, I am lazy to read all over it.

Status: Meditating™	QUOTE(stimix @ Nov 16 2008, 11:26 AM) PMed to you oledi but it's good to highlight again the history..Infact abit of sad history ...Malsingmaps started off wth Adilothman (M'sia) & Aprivate (Singapore), In between, others such as antyong, jmleng, noah, berngps & more joined in & resulted in MSM as what it's Today, However in 2006, there is a differerences between few mappers and resulted on the 1st word of war in believer of opensource & mappers' owned maps. Then nearing to 2007 & continue till Aug'08, survey was put up to commercialise malsingmaps and suprisingly majority support malsingmaps to be commercialized i.e copyrighted the maps & sell to commercial interested parties. Nevertheless, the maps will still be free for contributors. Although survey was put-up by the admin, certain mappers & even the admin are actually disagreed on the commercialization. & also impending "Gray" area on how Garmin going to re-act to this issue! Thus, it was decided that those mappers that disagreed on commercialization to pull-out from MSM & set-up new forum..i.e malfreemaps.com and in the beginning, malfreemaps will provide updates to malsingmaps too...However on the day the new forum set-up, things doesn't works as what it should be and thus...the emminent break-off of MSM & Malfreemaps... Hehe..u should knows by now who are those mappers that disagree on commercialization Well, although there's differences in opinion, thing will probably cool down in future...Well, the 2006 mapper that pull out from MSM has returned as the new mapper to EPM & NPM & probably PRK-R too...so wait & see-lah At this point of time, if u ask me which maps is more up to date, I will say malfreemaps bcos it's updated every week & no tedious unlocked code needed. Progress on Melaka, Johor & Singapore in malfreemaps is catching up very fast too.. Oh, ok, So that means Malfreemap will continue to contribute to Malsing Map? But is Malsing Map's update gonna be included in Malfreemap?

Suppose to be win-win but now total break-off...U either choose Malsingmaps or malfreemaps. Malfreemaps are more up to date & POIs are more prominent for eg logos of Shell, petronas, Esso, Giant, Tesoc & etc. however they are starting new on Melaka, Johor & singapore maps which is suprisingly fast from the day 1 of breakoff...Too bad up to todate no Sabah & Sarawak mappers yet. Malsingmaps are less updated in North Central & East coast bcos the last updates was in Sept'08 whereas, malfreemaps has been updated ~ 5 times since break-off!! However, contributions in malsingmaps will not be updated in malfreemaps & vice-versa..Each forums have their own contributors. So what u se now in malfreemaps & malsingmaps are different!...In future..no idea..

U can try & check the 1st page link to Garmin to check compartability or else I think the only naviagtion that suite this phone is only Garmin Maps which dun offer any route navigation for M'sia

I need to go to Subang Jaya. DO i need the map for that place? or there is map that covers the whole KL area 2. Which Device is better, and recommended? 3. Say I load the map of Penang, then when I reach, say Rawang, the map will auto change to Rawang map? Thanks for the help

Getting Started Junior Member 157 posts Joined: Jul 2008 From: Bukit Jalil	Hi .. You sound so entry level in GPS arena .. so I would recommend you to buy the most easiest and convenient to use which is Nuvi 200 series (RM700-800). It is also the cheapest. If you got money, of course you can get the more expensive one. Regarding the map, I'm using Garmin GPS, so I know that map around Malaysia especially Penang & KL is pretty much complete. Thanks to a community in Malsingmaps.com. You can upload the map all together inside your GPS unit and you don't have to think to change it anymore. Also, there is a software that Garmin provided with GPS device that allows you to view the map on your PC. So you can find places and check the routes on your PC and transfer to your GPS unit. You can find the Garmin MapSource installation guide in my website: Installation Guide. Updated 23-Dec-2008: I just write a blog to compare Google Map vs Garmin MapSource. Click Here! Hope this will help. All the best! This post has been edited by ahmadpi: Dec 23 2008, 09:47 AM

As for KL for the time being, Malfreemap is better and has more update. Standalone GPS receiver is better in locking position compare to Smartphone/PDA that comes with built-in GPS receiver. Here is the option you can choose, Standalone GPS, Smartphone/PDA with built-in GPS, Smartphone/PDA with bluetooth receiver. Standalone GPS or paring smartphone with bluetooth receiver is not a bad choice, because they can lock signals very fast. QUOTE(runemastertan @ Nov 19 2008, 03:40 PM) Hi all.

Even on highway all the way to Rawang, it will show your current position, driving speed etc. If you drive wrongly, they will recalculate the route and reguide you to ensure you reach your destination.

So chances are I am not going to use it very frequently. That is why the Nokia 6210 is in my initial planning. Another reason I consider Nokia 6210 is because I heard from friends that the GPS in Nokia 6210 is better than conventional GPS devices. Is it true? Thanks for all your replies.

Which version u install? Make sure u install everything in memory card. Try removing the memory card and see if everything is working nicely or not, have u installed any other software lately? Garmin shouldn't give any problem to symbian phone because there isnt any processes that runs in background except it do have some minor bug in N82 last time for # key in messaging for unable to highlight. But it is solved in later version already. N79 is still a new phone so it might not be stable at the moment, check for the newer firmware from time to time.

N79 confirm stable la. i ran 3 applications simultaneously. 1 - FM transmitter 2 - Music Player 3 - GMXT. while transmitting music to the car stereo, u are also tying up GMXT voices to it. so instead of hearing "at the roundabout take the 3rd exit" from your fon, u get to hear it on your cars audio system instead. however running the 4th app, will most likely make your fon die, or hang. not enough processing power liao. so maximum is 3. no more.

It works same like your bluetooth handsfree. When a call comes in i only turn on my bluetooth. If need 30 sec i would have miss all my calls.

Dunno Moderator 3,542 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Puchong, Selangor	Omnia is a window mobile so more to PDA phone rather than Smartphone (Nokia Symbian) The advantage of GPS in PDA phone (For me-lah) is, its capable to install GPS proxy that symbian can't & I just love the tracking capability of GPS proxy which is much more accurate than anything Garmin can provide. If u pair GPS proxy wth the older 2d version of Garmin que, u can run Garmin virtually free except this is an older version of Garmin. Garmin Mobile XT is not a free software & u need to buy the original SD card from Garmin (Not cheap also ) To learn more read the wiki section of malsingmaps from the link in my siggy QUOTE(shakiraa @ Nov 24 2008, 12:20 AM) Hi all sifus, i'm looking for a GPS device also, i'm thinking about getting OMNIA, i'm super noob, how should i start from there? straight away install Garmin then good to go? and the Garmin software need to buy or can d/l for free?

It's pretty fast and accurate from a moving car (speedometer also is near accurate from the calculation)..cos seems we can't disable the A-GPS function...signal s strong - 4 healty bar all the time...for those who want to test the GPS locking capability - keep it away from laptop and any electronical devices..

I've been navigating fine with 2.0 but ever since I updated nokia maps recently, i can't navigate offline. I am stuck at the calculating route stage. However, I could navigate if i am online using A-GPS. A-GPS sucks since our gprs is way too slow to hold on to a constant route. I also realize voice navigation is not working correctly. Anyone with the same problem? Anyway of me reverting back to the old map?

Dunno Moderator 3,542 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Puchong, Selangor	OK something to share for those wanted to venture into tracking or submitting tracklogs to mappers of either malsingmaps or malfreemaps. After researching hi/lo in malsingmaps forum, I found 2 equally good softwares for the purpose of 1 second tracklogs recording which rival gps proxy/gate which is for PDA WM only. Both software are: 1) Nokia sport trackers (NST) 2) Racechrono http://www.racechrono.com/?lang=en From the discussion in malsingmaps, both are equally good but the problem wth NST is u cannot switch on Garmin MXT at the same time otherwise crash So I downloded the Racechrono, read abit of the manual...switch to data logging mode, start tracking this morning & thereafter export to gpx file format. Open the gpx format using mapedit, convert to gdb format & edit using mapsource....& yes...tracklogs really of the gold standard as required my malsingmaps mapper.... So those wanted to contribute new roads or fed-up seeing new roads but not in the maps & wanted mappers to include those maps....u can start download racechrono now....fanstastic software Added on November 25, 2008, 3:22 pmSure, just buy the original Garmin micro sd card & install garmin MXT. Thereafter the installed the latest malsingmaps or malfreemaps. Otherwise google if you are looking for QUOTE(tyss @ Nov 25 2008, 03:18 PM) I am using n85, Can i use malsingmap with nokia GPS software? This post has been edited by stimix: Nov 25 2008, 03:22 PM

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.

If totally no signal it will be blank. If no signal u can't navigate what..if u can navigate for sure there's signal...

Hypermount, hehe, H/phone esp N78 acquisition of satelites are slow, not sure why your unit so fast but normally between 3-5 or even 10min!! However tested sharkteef N79 and it's really fast..BTW, inside house mana ada satelite signal unless u using the signal based on AGPS nearest to GSM tower??

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.

I still remember having a GloballocateAGPS chipset in my old HP6515 & the acquisition of satelite is much faster than my current Asus P535 PDA (SirfIII chipset). and I can tell u the quality of tracklogs using sirfIII is much better than globallocate AGPS chipset!! On my current N78 I was actually dissapointed wth the tracklogs quality via Garmin MXT as it's dun hv 1 second recording & thus, tracklogs not so perfect wth big gaps in between..in order to get perfect tracklogs, u really hv to walk & jog rather than drive!! However since I found another tacking software (Racechrono) ...getting the perfect 1 second tracklogs, & this very slow chipset actually performed equally good compare wth SIrfIII QUOTE(hypermount @ Nov 26 2008, 12:37 PM) That's weird..my phone take only 5-10 seconds!

After that, minimum 3 satellites will work already, but no elevation. Elevation needs minimum 4 satellites. With GMXT, sometimes I can get GPS lock in 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it won't lock at all even after 10 minutes. I notice it is easier to lock using Nokia Maps. So sometimes I launch Nokia Maps first, lock satellites, then launch GMXT, then close Nokia Maps.

BTW, on which maps better, it's all depending where is your location & where u want to travel. If u only travel around Klang Valley, Seremabn, Ipoh, Penang & East coast, go for Malfreemaps as it's more up to date. However if u wated to travel South to Melaka, Johor & Singapore, Malsingmaps still rule in these 3 areas..

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 Added on December 2, 2008, 3:41 pmPretty normal my N78 took almost 5 min also esp if u stop in location A & restart at another location b which is far apart. but if u stop at the spot u restart it will be fast...<1min QUOTE(bikerzfrenzy @ Dec 2 2008, 02:17 PM) is it normal to search for satellite for about 5 min in car? i'm using n95 This post has been edited by stimix: Dec 2 2008, 03:41 PM

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.

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^^

After that go C:\Garmin\Malfreemaps and u should see gmapsupp.img there and copy that into ur garmin folder in memory card. Rename the malsing gmapsupp.img to malsinggmapsupp.img if u wana keep the malsing map and rename it back to gmapsupp.img when u wana use it. Garmin can only support 1 gmapsupp.img at a time, so see which map u prefer to use.

And yeah my N78 needs only few seconds to lock with satellites from a moving car.

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.

° 忍 ° Senior Member 6,462 posts Joined: Nov 2004 From: [Latitude-N3°9'25"] [Longitude-E101°42'45"]	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.

Status: Meditating™	QUOTE(mrhenree @ Dec 16 2008, 11:17 PM) bro chicaman, i have a Sony Ericsson GPS Enabler HGE-100. dun dare to open. could you advise me on this GPS thingy? QUOTE The GPS navigation market continues to grow and Sony Ericsson has seen fit to delve into this popular category with the release of the HGE-100 ” a simple add on that turns most Sony Ericsson phones into a personal navigation system. According to Sony Ericsson, the HGE-100 is the first personal GPS navigator to be built into a portable hands-free device, so it's certainly an interesting concept. The device looks much like a regular media headset, but it's the GPS function that is appealing. The HGE-100 gives you spoken directions through the stereo headset, or written directions on the phone display. Depending on what handset you own and the quality and size of the display, this feature may or may not be useful. We tested the HGE-100 on the Sony Ericsson W890i which has a rather small display for text-based directions. Unfortunately, the device only works on Sony Ericsson phone models, and not all are compatible. Check the Sony Ericsson Web site for further details. Simply plugging in the HGE-100 and switching to GPS mode gives turns your phone into a device capable of receiving GPS satellite signals. Before you can use the GPS applications, you will need to install them. The first time you plug in the HGE-100 you will receive a prompt to download three applications — Tracker, GPS Location and Wayfinder. Unless your handset has Wi-Fi, these applications will be downloaded over the air using your phone's network connection, so be sure to check data charges with your carrier before proceeding — as these can be quite expensive. The three applications are fairly straightforward and simple to use. Tracker is a fitness program that allows you to keep track of your speed, the distance travlled, route taken, and energy consumption during a training or workout session. Entering details such as your height, weight, year of birth and gender provides the program with information to calculate how much energy you have consumed, in addition to the time of your session, the pace and the distance. The program also displays the route you have taken. It's a nifty option to have in your pocket if you regularly train. GPS location is the second application available for download and it is a simple application that provides information about visible satellites and your current position in terms of latitude and longitude. You can also view your current speed. Finally, Wayfinder is an application that lets you navigate various routes, view your current location on a global map and it provides you with audio directions. You can use it to navigate on foot, by bicycle, in a car or even on public transport and you can search for your destination by the address, a company name or a POIs (Points of Interest). Unfortunately it's only a trial version of Wayfinder. A full upgrade to a lifetime navigation subscription costs 89 Euros. Although that doesn't seem too harsh considering it's a lifetime membership, we feel that the program itself doesn't have much to offer when compared to its competitors. In particular its search function is quite cumbersome — when looking for an address or particular place — and the map detail is quite poor. As a media headset, the HGE-100 is above average in terms of performance, but not outstanding. Its five-way navigational pad for media control includes play/pause, previous/next and volume up/down and it features a stylish chrome finish and is comfortable to use. Sound quality from the ear buds is reasonable, with good bass levels and minimal distortion. Source http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/index.php/...7;pid;5243;pt;1 After reading it, to me, it is just a useless receiver that uses GPS Location and Way Finder. Expensive and not as good as garmin for sure. Basically it wont be great in Malaysia due to the lack support for Malaysia's MAP. GPS in SE isn't practical at all. SE failed at this point. Better stick with Nokia

Sry, FIXED already, I typed wrongly I meant Set to hidden so that your gallery will not generate THUMBNAIL for HIDDEN FILES. Nothing wrong, garmin will still work without any problem. Delete all the _PAibTN folder in garmin, open each folder in garmin folder to see if there is _PAibTN folder then delete them~

Windows Mobile OS (PDA) can work as well. But I prefer Nokia out of other brand and symbian out of other OS. With 2K budget u can buy any of the phone I suggested above, or maybe 5800xpressmusic if you want touchscreen and something new from nokia though the camera is only 3.2megapix. I would say N82 is the cheapest with the best specs. The only thing bad is the Battery life. Get ur phone fully charged before going out if u wana use GPS or a car charger will do too.

Mine E71. It is because trsAutoStart.exe runing at the back.. What to do is, firstly, 1.delete or rename file name CardRunner.dll ( the file is in sys folder in your memory card) 2. Install Jbak Taskman to your phone 3. With Jbak Taskman u can kill process for trsautostart.exe to save your battery.. 4. You must do same process after you open Garmin program. and Enjoy you longer battery life..

Or am I stuck with the preloaded one? im unsure which map are you using. but im pretty sure malsingmap gold 2.3 is working perfectly in malacca. just back from there.

I am not really sure which Navigator is good since I used the handphone and external receiver only. But they are quite similar, the only difference is the Device itself. Yes real time feedback, before you turn it will prompt and tell you in how many hundred meters before you need to keep to which lane and so on~ QUOTE(SerioseCat @ Jan 4 2009, 01:48 PM) i think we need a tutorial on efficient usage of Garmin, u know like all the small points u can only know by experience like what we just discussed btw for routing, i set to 'Shortest distance' as default 'fastest time' usually does not use my usual routes and makes it further and does anybody know where to get more car icons? im sure its just some copy paste action into the memory card folder.

Sometimes for fastest time it will bring you to route with lesser traffic light and use highway where you can drive faster with slight difference of 1KM. Car Icon? I am using the default blue car haha. Let me look around the icon folder see if can use own icon or not.

Yes you can but it wont work, mengsuan tested with Nokia 6680 (apparently almost same with 6630) and it didnt work. So it is better for you to get a better phone for better experience~ Garmin Mobile XT (without license) work with GPS10x (garmin brand) Garmin Mobile XT (with license) work with holux, internal GPS, GPS10x, any brand of bluetooth receiver)

How to change it to other map??(I already put the Malsingmap inside garmin folder but dunno how to open it) P/S:Is it IMEI or Unit ID to register it...............??? Due to the memory reason as stated by yourself. The ram in 6630 is limited therefore sometimes while navigating you will get out of memory issue. However it also depends on how many program running in the background. Just copy the malsing or malfree map into Garmin Folder in root memory card and you should be able to see malaysia detailed map. Navigate to the pointer to Malaysia map and zoom in. Because without GPS receiver u wont be able to go to show your current location. you need to set manually.

Hope all can help me on this.. sry cause I missed out your post.. 1. First you need to set a destination, then it will calculate route, then it will navigate you to the destination in 3D mode. 2. Using GPS is FOC, however navigating software like Garmin is NOT FREE. You need to pay for the software license (unless u ahem it). 3. Nokia Symbian phone is able to install GPS software like Garmin, Mapking, TomTom into the phone. However SE GPS mobile phone requires 3G/EDGE/GPRS to loads the map if want to use GPS. So in Symbian phone, generally you just install the software and map for once and you are gonna use it for free WHILE SE need to pay for data charges to load the map everytime you use.

Because Nokia (S60 type) phone can install Navigational Software as well as MAPs. While SE cannot utilize those Maps like Malsing and Malfree, therefore they need internet connection to load/stream those MAPs like Google Map~

What is the difference between Nokia and SE GPS mobile phone? 1. simulation or mapsource. 2. none of the GPS are real-time. 3. chipset and platform. @chicaman - SE can use gmxt ler. those that run UIQ boleh ler. there are a few Se's that run winmo like xperia also which u can install gmxt ler. the rest like g900 have to revert using trekbuddy. @lineage - your questions need to be clearer and more precise. assuming for Q3 that what you're asking if both mobile phones use THEIR ORIGNAL gps software as in nokia with smart2go and SE with their dumbshtz useless software. nokia's smart2go are RM 40 per month to use for navigation and on top of that u pay another RM XXXXXX for data charges. same as SE's. cept SE comes with googlepmaps in which u download segments of it and pay a bomb for the monthly usage as well. GMXT lain cerita. itu 3rd party software, not embeded in original units. This post has been edited by sharkteef*: Jan 14 2009, 03:29 PM

If the file name is gmapsupp.img then you can straight away copy to your Garmin folder. Before that, better to rename the current gmapsupp.img to another name first so that when you return to Malaysia, you can use back that map.

Thx for 5800xm, if not mistaken Garmin has not released any version for this particular phone yet because the screensize is relatively big, well u can use s60v3 because 5800xm has backward compatibility. Just that the screen is smaller and at the mean time wait for Garmin to release a new version which support 5800xm completely (5800xm user please correct me if i am wrong). Please read the first page, I already explain the whole thing, GPS is free for life. Just that the Navigational software is not free. Eg Mapking, Garmin, Nokia Map need to be bought in order to use it to navigate from a place to another. Garmin is more popular due to the constantly updated Malsing and Malfree map.

Getting Started Junior Member 244 posts Joined: Mar 2007	thanks for the answer bro chica, but i do need the map as im going to the country for a vacation next week. Saja wanna see the gps there.. just in case. Anyway, just found out another problem too. Well, here's the problem, every time I turn on my Garmin Mobile XT(5.00.20s60.9), it will for some reason sync my phone clock with the actual time?? and it will also send out a little bit of packet data, about 3kb or so and it will use my 3g connection to do so. I just found out this morning and I suspect that its already eaten a lot of my data charges from me.... I've already turn off the "garmin online access". So what's sending out and receiving data? anyone have any idea? This post has been edited by jojo_g2: Feb 4 2009, 09:44 AM

Dunno Moderator 3,542 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Puchong, Selangor	OK only read this moment ago. To combine other country maps (For eg the Bali maps since i know U'r going there soon ), U need mapsource another software from Garmin.... Let say u hv malfreemaps & you have also installed the .exe file for Bali available in malsing. Use the mapsource & combine both malfree & the bali maps & send the combined maps (Also gmapsupp.img) to N78. The instruction is in the malsing wiki if I'm not mistaken. However this method will resulted in adress search failure Alternatively u can create 2 seperate gmapsupp.img i.e the 1st maintained it under gmapsupp.img & the 2nd gmapsup2.img using patchimg program. thereafter copy both files to your garmin folder QUOTE(jojo_g2 @ Feb 3 2009, 11:13 AM) ok guys, need help. I owned a N78. I've got malsing maps installed in my garmin mobile, now I've recently downloaded an .img map of another country, I want to installed that .img file into my garmin but, whenever I copy that file over to the garmin folder in my phone, and turn on the garmin, it will always tell me to have an unlock code for that particular map.

Will try whether it looks different or not and also the speed performance or any issues. Have not tried the camera-speed POI though, so far no alert from it. Federal highway got ?

Well I can say 1 thing is GPS in Iphone is totally useless because it requires 3G connection which is not practical for us unless they've subscribe unlimited data package. Nokia phone can be said to be having the best software choice for GPS just like WinMo because users are allowed to install the software preference of their own and using custom map like Malsing and Malfree totally give the best out of GPS in Malaysia.

Malsingmap and Malfreemap. Malsingmap - Gmapsupp.img Malfreemap - Gmapsup2.img When these two maps put in the Garmin folder, how does Garmin know which map to use? Is there a setting where we can select which map to use?

Dunno Moderator 3,542 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Puchong, Selangor	To view the maps there, u need to install mapsource. u can get it by googling for "Garmin mapsource" The download link is here: http://www.malsingmaps.com/portal/downloads.php However free version is abit outdated i.e Jan 2008. The locked version are for those who contribute (Not monetary but via contribution of tracklogs, point of interest & errors. B4 installing to your GPS receiver (Either Garmin, Nokia Symbian or even PDA Window mobile) pls read the wiki 1st on what is GPS, what softwares, how to install & how to contribute. It's rather long to post here.. QUOTE(bibbyGirl @ Feb 16 2009, 08:40 PM) wow..nice to see that any url i can see the complete map of kuching for malsingmaps? Added on February 17, 2009, 9:12 amThose posts hv been deleted for very obvious reason....for sharing #ahem" Yes it it's possible, Garmin will treat both valid & overlapping each others. If both files are from diff regions no problem, but once overlapped, lotsa funny thingy will happen..one of it that I hate....I can't do address search!!

Very lag and slow compared to MSM v2.30. I already reach traffic light, and the graphics is still processing and showing me moving 50-100 towards the traffic light. Or, I'm at highway and already pass an interchange, it still shows me driving towards the interchange. Will keep monitor.

If yes, try again without those POI.

Dunno Moderator 3,542 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Puchong, Selangor	Can't be 13 bars...Max in Garmin MXT/que only 12 ....Well the bars represent the signal strenght of each satelite.If only 4 bars & the bars in in blue, meaning it's fixed & the data is processed by the unit. If other colours or blank/greyish, the unit still acquiring signals from satelites..If u have an ext antenna, u will see all those weak bars suddenly increase to almost max except if u are surrounded by highrises in KL
