garmin mobile xt runs only on symbian,palm and windows mobile, so if the phone runs on any of the OS, it will take garmin.

Hi GPS gurus,

I never had a GPS function PDA/HP before but am thinking of buying one in a few days.

As I will be doing some long range offshore work, I doubt i can use my service providers AGPS function being in the middle of no where in the ocean..

Still i'd like to simply mark some the Longitude and lattitude positions in the open oceans at the places Im stopping.

So just wanna ask your opinions if the current SE phones are recommended with regards to GPS function over Nokia model. The model I had in mind  to buy is the SE Vivaz.

If not,kindly recommend me a good Nokia model.

How to I turn off Vivaz AGPS function and rely on the free to use GPS only?

I read the earlier phones GPS can take up to minutes to get a fix, I hope the newer model in the market performance may be improved.

Thanx

out in the open sea, i doubt you'll have difficulty getting a GPS signal lock, unless weather becomes a factor, coz in the city where there are skyscrapers around it still get pretty good signal locks without A-GPS on my E72.

hi..
I want to ask.
If I update my current garming mobile xt map with this map from malsing will it remove the international map as well?
*
as long as you have the maps named differently, then you shouldn't be having problems.
wait..when u say international map, do u mean the base map?

check if your integrated GPS has been enabled.
assisted GPS is only used to speed up the lock time.
