it it possible to

1 - change the voice nav to different voices in a standalone garmin say nuvi 205W's ? are there free voice files ? i know where to get tomtom's voices but not garmins. (btw i'm talking bout da freebies of teh intehnets not the pay punya)

2 - change the voice nav to different voices in GMXT softwares. ada free punya ka and got step by step guides or not ?


all i know is the voices that they provided off my-garmin really is sad case. not sexy japanese girl type voice , no knight rider punya. i found 3rd party but haf to pay. can get tom cruise voice and yoda voices.

thanks in advance.

my sifu has spoken. check my siggie. this guy is boss !

why ah ?


N79 ? sure boh. i baru let stimix try my fon few days ago. he's quite impressed what. where got slowdown ? i'm using it to track even.
GMXT works fine. it takes under 1 minute to get sat reception anyway.

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.

1st time u do have to scan and select device ma no meh ?

and i doubt u can pair more than 1 device. its either ur headset or your external garmin.

so assuming u're running garmin bluetooth, u can conserve your headset battery by switching it off no ?

ok

i oso got fring and opera mini and sum other sharewares which i havent activated yet.
plus i found sum nice ngage games in which each costs 30-50 bux to activate for life . activated the poker game already. did u open too many apps at one go ?

N85 ka ? or standalone unit ?





stimix -
mah sifu has spoken. oh sifu, i wan spend u more teh tarik while u teach me all u know bout garmins.
downloaded mapsource but havent intall yet.

Added on November 23, 2008, 9:22 pmbtw i can only suspect that the chipset is a GSC3LT. i have no way of concluding which sirfstarIII chip it is. only supsect.
only 1 way to find out which is to dissect the fon. but i aint doing that. too new. wait 1 year warranty habis then i dissect unless someone else dissects first.

had the sos b4 i bought the fon. i did a lotta research b4 i bought it. recovering history is ........slow.
anyhow will continue diggin thru my vast history but rest assured 79 & 85 are similar in many ways.
i remember seeing a vid of the dissection of the n79 more than few weeks back but i cant even find that vid now.

no 6220c. i brought my n79 together with my wife's 6220c out for stimix to experiment on.
the 6220c ......... very slow in aquiring signal.

i'm yet to try the n85. will get my friend's unit for a few days just to try out and compare with mine.

i think that alone can buy laptop liao. can do more with laptop. surf prawn and game and chat and webcam and .............

for now, still malsing.



@stimix- wei check my post @ the projek room in mfm forums for me. under the non halal food poi. dunno why i cannot seem to submit it. instead i submit in the form of text file. thanks bro !

@stimix - i installed gmxt10 for winmo on my friends palm pro treo dunno what what else model number.

works fantastic. his signal lock even faster than mine. under 5 secs.
accuracy - off the grid. wayyyyyy off the grid.

funny thing is, when u install gmxt onto a winmo pda, i didnt know u can use it as a gmpc. remember the selection of use inbuilt or bluetooth connection in the system settings ? well i na pda u have additional 1 which is split into another 4. com4 com6 irda port and 1 other which i forgot. meaning i cna use the pda as a receiver only while hooked onto the pc and track direct using mapsos ?

@stimix - ejoy your holidays ! see u next week ! dun get lost and may fair weather enable your gps to work 24/7 !

send own sattelites up and use your own special codes

hello all, i'm newbie in GPS..i would like to ask a few questions regarding to GPS for mobile...
Question :

1. How to get the GPS can direct me to destination with virtual 3D road?
2. Any charges for using real time GPS? i heard my friend said he just need to update map and then its free to use real time GPS.
3. 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 dumbsh*tz 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.

sorry mistake, g900 no gps, i meant c905. the stupidest SE fon with a gps built in. no choice but to run trekbuddy.

its gmapsupp.img
gmapsup1.img
errr gmapbmap
ask stimix go dig up that flowchart for u. i lazy to find.


and u can combine both maps. u cna combine 10 maps even. just some complications will arise only.

purchase from garmin.
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/buymaps.do

other tracked maps can be found in msm.

buy original = RM 175 from digital mall.
map can be free if u use from malfree or malsing.

when u purchase the original, they will install it for u. ori pack comes with a micro sd card.
