Help needed: Bluetooth GPS Receiver

[Deathism]

ok..i've juz bought a Qstarz bt gps rx (bt-q816)..

 

i managed to pair it with my 6120 classic..

 

BUT

 

 

i can never get any signal..once in awhile it will be in the process of acquiring 1-5 sats..

 

but it never gets hooked up.

 

 

tried walkin ard my neighbourhood, an open field.. but still no connection..

 

 

are there any other settings which i have to configure apart from simply pairing the 2 of em?

[Deathism]

nobody knows?

I think the first time will take longer to lock on to the satellites. After the first time, it should be faster to connect to the satellites.

i've been walking ard my neighbourhood aimlessly to an open field and back home..

 

all in all 45 mins..

There's really nothing much you can do other than waiting for the receiver to lock on to 4 satellites.

[Deathism]

dang..

What gps software r u using?

[Deathism]

google map..

 

managed to get a lock on juz now after waiting for like 20 mins..

 

i have no idea wad software to use since most of it is paid stuff.

My Omnia lock on to 9 satellites but still not fix...

IIRC, google map require u to pay GPRS charges to download the map.

[Deathism]

i really dunno wad software to use.

[Watwheels]

U should not walk around. More difficult to get a fix. Too close to tall buildings also difficult to receive signal.

[Deathism]

yea..i realised that too..but well..

 

 

now juz need a proper software..

[Titanium]

Then y u buy a BT receiver at the 1st place?

[Deathism]

im geographically challenged..

 

 

everytime i run from jurong to bukit gombak and back again..

 

it takes me abt 3 hours..cos i get lost on my way back as i come back using a different route.

 

 

i cant imagine carry the big ass dashboard gps unit.

My Omnia lock on to 9 satellites but still not fix...

 

My omnia, if starts from cold, sometime no satellite for 5 minutes before I can see a few satellite. and It's still red bar..

 

But sometime, the cold start is fast, less than 2 minute, but this is rare.

[Deathism]

i tink it also depends on your location?

 

hahaha..

[Titanium]

wah... 3 hours?

 

I run 5 min i pang chek liao...

 

Then u shld get a phone with built-in GPS mah.
