Is there a way to use gps while i off the phone function?
I've tried it on both mapking & garmin... both also cant connect to gps while phone function is off.

Frust lah..... still cant figure out after trying many times.
Seems like cant use while on flight mode.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
Finally got it to work! rclxm9.gif

karlbum mentioned about tomtom can use gps with flight mode on... so decided to google about it.
A website that has nothing to do with omnia, but it helps.

Dun even need a hack..... just fiddle with the pin requirement under phone security settings.

works on mapking too via port splitter smile.gif

Its especially useful for travelling omnians.
Now can use gps while overseas without risking receiving expensive roaming calls.
I have observed that even if you reject a roaming call, you will still be charged for 1 minute.
anywhere between RM2-RM5 per minute rclxub.gif

Steps:

Go to phone>menu>options>security
Click on ‘require PIN when phone is used’
When prompted, key in PIN num.... by default:
Digi: 1234
Maxis: 0123
Celcom:.... not sure (1234 ?)

When done, proceed to off phone function(flight mode)
GPS is now still usable.

To re-enable phone, simply key in the pin num.
Or alternatively, remove PIN requirement under the said settings.

using v4..... most ppl using v5.
i've used v5 before but still prefer previous version, map dun look so cluttered. GUI v5 looks better though.
gps acquisition time seems better on v4
