Osiris 1st Gear July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 if your receiver has 20 channels, do you see 20 channels when connected? or is it a tech spec like imuya says theorectical only? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 (edited) 20 is tracking channels. Tracking. Dun confuse with getting satelite fix. The 6-10 satelite fix I think it's standard. Cos under status this is the display...see pic. Edited July 17, 2007 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris 1st Gear July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 okok, thanks. learn something new again. so no way i can find out how many tracking channels 6110 have other than looking at the technical spec from nokia which they dont release. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 Yeah. I dun think they'll release. I read what others mentioned in this thread. Found out many are new users. Best to aquire signal fast is to get to an open area. Dun do it indoors. These are common things that u might encounter when using one. 1) Line of sight. (lol when someone mentioned cannot receive any signal in tunnel) 2) Tall buildings causes interference especially in Shenton way u'll experience GPS going haywire. 3) map updates are important cos a lot of changes in sg roads. 4) Bad weather? little interference 5) Slip roads and split road can be confusing which one to take.

Melissa 1st Gear July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 And to add on, the route that are suggested, may not be the shortest route (for my mobile), so if possible look thru the list(directions) it will be using(roughly) and select another route to compare. ps: IF only we roughly know what routes we want to go by..

Ccssgm 1st Gear July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 Starhub Every Year....I will ask for Early Upgrade Plus a Voucher... Yup yup... me too with Starhub... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 I dunno about the software in your phone. FYI the software I'm using I can choose: 1) Recommended route (Prefered Highway,motorway,shortest route). 2) Prefered Motorway. 3) Shortest Route. But I do agree sometimes it gives u the really stupid route to take especially the shortest route option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 (edited) Can your GPS simulate the route u'r taking btw? Cos the software I'm using has simulation and can choose to avoid roads u dun wanna take ie. hear from radio some roads are jammed up or flooded.

Melissa 1st Gear July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 Simulate? hmm... i dun think so.. it only show me the list of the directions/road names. i can only ask the device to re-route if i want to avoid the roads.. Anway i think its good to be use in SG, no matter what i wont be too lost BUT if i were to use my GPS to travel to M'sia etc, Ohhh.. i better think twice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 I see... But it's ok. It certainly beats having to flip the street directory and drive at the same time. I stay far away from these drivers. As for M'sia best go in a group for safety sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa 1st Gear July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 (edited) Actually im wondering... when we use the GPS system, will TP booked us for using it?? i mean when we have to 'touch screen' or press the button on the GPS device (which of cos is supported by the stand) Edited July 17, 2007 by Melissa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 17, 2007 Share July 17, 2007 As long as u'r touching it it's ok bah. Cos u'r not holding it. U press buttons on your car entertainment unit too. Is that illegal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
