Hi guys, I'm wondering how strong and good is the GPS signal quality and reliability in KL city as I'm planning to buy 5800 for the GPS (not planning to use A-GPS). Any experienced users can give feedback? Dont wanna buy the phone already and find that the reliability is bad.

garmin is free...

but you need to buy for the license... to use it with your internal GPS[your phone]
the license is about RM 300++

or use it with external GPS receiver[bluetooth]..which is about RM 200++
you can download garminXT at http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection....ct=010-11034-00

choose GarminXt for Symbian S60 3rd edition for your phone
and make sure you have installed
Additional Software : -
- Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap,
- Garmin Mobile XT Support Files

AND ANY MFM or MSM map..
-it is free

Is it necessary to install so many maps? Will it make the phone lag? Isn't installing 1 map, e.g. malfreemap sufficient enough?

Sorry noob here trying to figure out the basics before actually buying a gps phone
