hmm.. a silly question,
i'm wondering can we track our frens location using our n82 gps?
i mean when our frens connected to the gps at the same time.

fixed
i guessed u talk bout Class 2...
but if your camera is DSLR, u better choose HighSpeed storage


this friday im going to cameron, and will be using
> Garmin 5.0.20
> West Malaysia, East Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand and Indonesia combo maps
> 8GB C6 SD Card
i believe this combination will kill my battery faster

hopefully by next week, we can do a complete compilation on the N82 battery usages

Using GMXT, once you locked the satellites, there is an option to send your location to another GMXT user as SMS. They will receive an SMS, and if both devices are set correctly, when the other user open the message, it will launch GMXT and he/she can choose to navigate to your location.

Already tried and it works.

For 8GB Class 2/4/6, I don't mind spending extra RM20 for Class 6. However, the 16GB is way too expensive right now

Can the default Nokia file manager detect hidden files? Do I hide the files by right click and set to "hidden"? Or there must be a specific software to do this?

Anyone can pls provide the list of Garmin folders with images pls

AFAIK, default Nokia File Manager cannot view hidden files. Therefore, cannot set the hidden attributes on/off.

Just do a search in E:\Garmin\ for all subfolders with _pAltbn (or _pAlbtn?). Don't be so lazy lah
Then set all necessary files to hidden. Then delete the _pAltbn folder and sub.

Once a minute may be too long/short a time. Imagine how much sms you need to pay (but for those cheap ones) I think is alright.

Nokia Sports Tracker allow single/individual bread-crumb trail tracking.

So it's just only the folder "pAltbn (or _pAlbtn?)" that will contain the images?
Can I set it to hidden through Windows or there's a specific phone software to be used?
I'm scared GMXT might be f**ked up if I set it to hidden that's why I'm a bit cautious
Hell if it's possible for GMXT to operate normally if the whole folder is set to hidden I will

Which 3rd party file manager can view hidden files and user friendly? Can u pls recommend one

edit : don't need to provide download link or whatever just the name please is already enough. Thanks

FExplorer (need to sign yourself, troublesome)
X-plore
SysExlorer
Y-Browser (Dr. Jukka)

Don't worry, all are freeware.

Connect as PC Suite using USB cable. You can try set whole E:\Garmin folder to hidden (including subfolders) using WinXP Explorer. I've never tried that before. But no matter what, you still need to find and delete all the _pAltbn (or _pAlbtn ?) folders first.

Edit: above bold is wrong. Connect as USB Transfer using USB cable. Otherwise, I think you won't be able to view E:\Garmin or those hidden/system files, even if your WinXP Explorer is set to enable view hidden/system.

BTW, I see some post can have text with "strikeout". How can I do that ?

FExplorer can be signed by symbian signed
X-plore since when become freeware? just check the website they have register version and unregistered version. wats the different?
SysExplorer and Y-Browser never use

i use x-plore more, but sometime i still use Nokia File Manager

u have big map do u..willing to share ?

unless u delete the quote/spoiler tag

Oh that means I can't just set it to hidden and it will be gone from the phone gallery?
Will it then affect GMXT if I delete that folder?

And yes have to set to data transfer mode instead of nokia suite mode or else in windows it won't be able to set file attribute to hidden.



Anyone willing to share their GMXT maps pls...
Mine is only updated to July08 only.... Usable but....

_paltbn ??? is the folder which stores thumbnail images for Gallery. Even it hidden, it will still show in Gallery and load if available.

Yea but GMXT will work properly after I delete it?
I hope so... "touch wood*

After delete pAltbn ?? , yes, GMXT will work. Even if you set those image files to hidden. I've been using it for >6 months without problem.

Thanks for your help o

You can try delete the _pAlbtn in E:\Images\..... then when you open Gallery again, the thumbnail loading will be slower. Cause it is recreating the thumbnails again. _pAlbtn is similiar with WinXP thumbs.db

Does that mean it will re-apear in the gallery even though I've set it to hidden and delete the _pAlbtn folder? The _pAlbtn folder is under Garmin\Help\En. Correct? Any other folders / files to be set to hidden and delete?

There are several _pAlbtn folders in \Garmin\
Don't be lazy, just browse through the 20+ folders.

If the file is hidden and no thumbnails (_palbtn), Gallery won't detect it.
If the file is hidden but earlier thumbnails already created, Gallery will detect the thumbnails + image

>"< well can i have it too .. ?
the map i having now , all the place in [spell name] are in short form =.=
can't even find a name..
