I just got mine last week at the HP fair in Shah Alam. It was quite a bargain - RM1230 for an AVAXX full set

hey bro,

thanks for the info. but if i'd like to disable the A-GPS. can i do that?
*
Menu>GPS>GPS Data> Options> Position Settings

Then uncheck Assisted GPS

I usually enable it when it takes more than 2 mins to lock. Then straight away turn it off when it is locked.
Works great in Klang Valley.

When it locks in a few secs without AGPS then it's great, but it doesnt always behave that way.


cheers

but if i would to disable the A-GPS here. does it mean that my Garmin Mobile XT won't be using the A-GPS as well?


Added on April 14, 2009, 2:30 pmhi all,

i've found this nice software called Racechrono.

it uses GPS to calculate lap times traveling speed etc. good tool for car fanatics smile.gif

p/s: forgot to add that it can also read from your car's OBD-II to display ur rpm, TPS, etc etc.

yeah. you can see in the Gatmin XT home screen, move your cursor to the gps signal bars and click on it. it will show whether the gps is assisted-gps or integrated gps depending on what you have checked in the gps menu

you will only be charge for the time taken to lock your position..probably it will charge you a few cents..after that it use the integrated gps..

if you somehow lose the signal with the A-gps on, you'll also be charged because it will use the data to search for the nearby base stations. But that's insignificant, just an additional few cents.

Besides, I wonder if anyone has noticed, the speed of the vehicle is more accurate with A-gps on. With the A-gps off it lags a bit.
