Pardon this post as the answer may be somewhere in between the 95 pages of this thread. My question is quite specific and I can't find the answer in the first few pages.

I have both OVI maps and Garmin installed on my N8. My phone line is Prepaid Maxis. I tried connecting to the satellite and the phone automatically uses A-GPS. I checked the phone and the charge is RM0.50 as opposed to RM0.10 suggested by some folks. I fiddled around with the GPS and internet and I'm not sure what I did wrong, and suddenly I got charged for RM1.00+. I think I got into the internet or something.
For Nokia N8, may I ask where is the setting to enable or disable A-GPS? It appears that everytime I want to use GPS especially OVI, the phone will automatically connect to the phone line using A-GPS. Also, how long is this A-GPS valid after it has been activated? Let say after using the GPS for 2-3 hours we want to use the A-GPS again to get to another destination. Will there be an additional charge?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

there will be charge based on your usage, better don't uses AGPS unless you got unlimited maxis package for internet if not u may end up pay for a few thousand permonths.
and OVI is design uses with internet =D so u canot avoid..!

I tried going into OVI maps for less than 1 minute and I've got charged RM11.70. I don't know how the charges come by. That's it. I'll stick with Garmin for good.


Added on August 19, 2011, 4:43 pmBy using OVI maps the phone will automatically connect to the internet line(Maxis 3G) and not A-GPS, and the charges are crazy high. I don't know how the charges are derived from.

I'll stick with Garmin now as the charge is RM0.10 for A-GPS, I think. I am already freaked out using OVI.

hi all,
I just recently got the Garmin Nuvi 1350.
However, it is not able to detect satelite. have tested it a few times and its safe to say that, it worked fine twice. How to solve this?

hey guys! I have a few noob questions about GPS. So i did a little googling about GPS in Malaysia and found sites like malsingmaps and malfreemaps that provide map downloads for Garmin GPS. So are all Garmin models compatible with the maps downloaded from there?
Is it possible if, let's say, a Garmin nuvi 1300LM is bought from overseas, and then a map downloaded from malfreemaps is installed in it?
*
YES the map is compatible for GARMIN! but no junction view =)! for ur unit

thanks, that's great news! Is there any way to know if a model has junction view? I'm considering between 1350T and 2300LM. Does the lifetime maps or traffic feature play a part in the M'sian map?
*
only if u purchase at malaysia, aeco unit, only have junction view for malaysia/singapore map . else if u bought at other country u only enjoy the jcv for their map not malaysia pls take noted, same as malaysia unit, if u take malaysia garmin gps to europe etc, that's no junction view, due to each country have a special firmware .

Hi yeakyau, thank you for your reply.

Based on your answers,
1. Is this the split-screen view where it shows junction view on 1side of the screen? ( jcv = junction view? )
5. What bout this?

Im aware of the new model / replacement. I guess the differences are the dimension, weight & the built in memory.
I dont mind getting the older model.

1 yes on one side of screen. drool.gif
5 garmin nuvi 50LM old model phase out replace with 52LM firmware more canggih drool.gif on the search engine
