QUOTE(sugen @ Oct 26 2008, 01:58 PM) Ok, but no blue dot how to know that where r u in the map..rite?  QUOTE(nokia2003 @ Oct 26 2008, 03:06 PM) just a rough idea on your current whereabout (based on the nearest cell tower or wifi centre) ahah. just came back from digi center subscribe the unlimited data plan. planning to get this phone on some work!.fyi, 2g iphone user will see a blue circle, which is same as the 'find my location' located bottom left of the google map and it will move along to where we were moving which is what mr. Nokia2003 said by using cell tower. but not sure about the wifi. just test the map this morning. beraya dari shah alam ke gombak with gprs/edge on while watching the map on iphone. the accuracy of positioning is quite good, not as good as ifontrigi which is default with the blue dot for current location. the blue circle respond like 5 - 15 second and during my way to gombak which is good since im just using gprs/edge. sedut all RM50 licin2 just like that. really pain in the ass. may provide with screeny when i have 1.  well, the blue circle will follow where we are of course.. cheers!

QUOTE(sugen @ Oct 26 2008, 07:24 PM) So means for iphone2G the blue circle is moved by collecting the Digi cell tower?hmn... R u sure? I am in doubt about it's accuracy.. yeah. most probably. well, experience is more better then understanding. not sure how the real method on how they do this but thats that. i will research more after my phone account change to unlimited data and see. may kikis some phone battery for this  To my understanding, only GPS can pint point + guided to the location..

QUOTE(Shock @ Oct 28 2008, 12:33 AM) it very complicated. if you study communication subject, u will understand about fading signal, signal strength , multipath + etc that affect the signals just wondering is there anyway to obtain the location code (mag,long) same as real gps system?best try outside to see if the gps work anot. QUOTE(friends @ Oct 28 2008, 01:26 AM) tried out GPS direction in Alor Star.... great isnt it   cool stuff implemented on Malaysia map |

well, plug-in GPS for 1st gen iphone is around the corner.
taken from modmyi.com QUOTE In the past various companies have claimed to be developing a GPS module to plug into the bottom of your 1st generation iPhone. Finally after all the wait Orange Gadgets is preparing to release the first GPS plug-in for the first gen iPhone. source here.Included with the GPS module is a 6ft USB-A to micro USB-B cable for on-the-go or at home charging. With this cable you will be able to charge your iPhone or iPod touch while the module is plugged into your handheld device. A suitable USB car charger, USB wall charger or USB desktop/laptop port is required for this functionality (not included). The cable and the GPS device come together for the price of $75 + shipping. It appears the GPS module will communicate with a 3rd party app along with google maps if the images on their site are any indication. It is currently not clear whether or not you need to have a jailbroken phone to use the GPS module but if I were to take a shot in the dark I'd say probably yes. any1 interest to bulk this? count me in Added on November 2, 2008, 12:36 am QUOTE(sugen @ Oct 26 2008, 09:24 PM) hmn..You got Malaysia offline map? The whole map? U r using firmware 2.1? hai.. but need to JB the phone.. off topicSo, is that any different how the offline map works for the driving direction.. Is it the same? Sound nice, mind to share how u did it Added on October 26, 2008, 9:28 pmGuys.. i am really serious looking for it.. Already turn the whole PG up side down. No body is selling... Anyone saw it in KL, pls let me know.. My friend is coming down to PG, so will need to ask him to get it for me in KL.. Pls share...  well.. i tested the gps on the road today again but with style. i mean.. using the   it cost me RM18 after bargain i believe u searching for this?

QUOTE(maxcheam @ Dec 2 2009, 02:00 PM) hi, just want to find out if anyone have tested Waze (http://www.waze.com). It's 100% contributed by the users. So far, most of the contributions are in US. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE The driving community in Malaysia has only recently begun developing, so it'll take a bit of time until waze begins to deliver its full value in your area. Note that when starting out, there may be no map at all and you'll need to actually pave the roads as you go. If you like mapping, though, it's a great time to get involved and you'll have a ton of fun! Source |
