TS u must also state how lousy malaysia GPS can get at times. It does calculate the fastest route to destination but thats also end up in tol and there is no way to go around it.

2nd Even u know there is a shortcut/faster way the GPS take u a huge circle even u choose the fastest route.

3rd Nokia Build in GPS are crappy always signal unavailable due to its weak tracking ability

4rd When u really need the GPS to guide u thats when u get signal unavaliable crap.

5th Smartphone GPS it drains battery like drinking water .

GPS is free because the satellites above earth doesnt own by malaysian telco. A-GPS another name Assist GPS connect to your mobile provider to improve time to lock on the satellite because it provider the area you are at.

If u off a-gps and use GPS its totally FREE

learn to listen to the direction it will tell you when to turn when to keep left and look at the 400m -500m when to turn. Its not confusing for me when u get use to it.

Like the others said whats your needs? If u use gps everywhere u go then get a nuvi if u only use when you are lost then a phone gps is sufficient. Nuvi is actually kinda waste of money because it only serve 1 purpose that is gps n some minor additional features.

pls note nuvi lock to satelite in few sec
mobile phone gps sometimes can take up to 5mins

For internal suka suka 30 sec suka suak 10 mins still red bar there

i dunno why yours take 30 sec. When its paired when u turn on the bluetooth it will automatic pair in less than 5 sec. 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.

yea like u said 1st time so what is the problem? Its only 1 time thing.

Yea either 1 is active at one time. If there is a call coming thru and i am using the garmin i will use loudspeaker.

But if u compare external GPS can lock fast and in any big structure places it still gets full bar.

Hehe. Sharteef & me was having TT the other day & I was pretty shock that this N79 having the mother of all GPS chipset!! (SirfIII...similar to other standalone Garmin GPSr duch as selected NUVI & the mother tracker...60Csx!!)..Thus during that day I tested and that thing really fast....even at the five foot way of the kopitiam  thumbup.gif  shocking.gif

I can say that the speed of acquisition rivaled/comparable to those external BT GPSr

i dunno i tried n95 , n95 8GB & n82 all disappointed me flat. Any source showing n79 using Sirf III chipset?
