Knowing more about pda with gps....very usedful!!!

If all bimmers using PDA with built in GPS will be benefits for other bimmers too.
EXAMPLE if your all guys want to share nice place for eating,workshop, sparepart shops and any places in Malaysia or Singapore your all guy can post the location add or position that you can capture from your GPS phone...
like N 03 7.079 E 101 43.319 if you fill in into GPS under POSITION than you will the place i share with actualy is a famous Bihun fish in Cheras..

For all Bimmer also can send PEER POINT or SEND LOCATION from their phone to other person they wish to share some interested places...

Hope you all folks fully understand how its works and fuction for GPS...
GPS not only direct you to destiny you wish to go but if we know how to used about the feature
actually is very usedful for sharing the location too like we always share a good works shop we can post it the location GPS position.

I want share true story how helpful when we have a GPS.
this is true story what happen to my friends when one day he travelling quite late night and suddenly fuel warning light blinking worse he not familiar about this places, how far to find the petrol station he not sure but luckily he using his GPS find the nearest petrol station and guide him to the nearest petrol station before the fuel run out...

Any question that you guy want to know can PM me as long as i know i will share with...:stupido2:

I wouldn't jump to conclusion which is better. I have both and my PDA phone takes quite a while to lock on to satelites. To me, it would mean that there are times when I would already reached my destination before my pda phone (with Garmin Mobile XT) actually starts working. Maybe this is due to my pda phone being slow but another scenario is that when my pda does work, the navigation will be interrupted when a call comes in. Besides that, a dedicated unit tends to have bigger screen with large input buttons to allow quick input with minimum distraction. I am highlighting this simply because my pda (Samsung i780) has a relatively smaller screen and thus input while on the go can be quite fiddly. Now, considering the points mentioned, I am still very much attached to nuvi simply because i can get signal fairly quick and also the navigation is not interrupted when a call comes in. This is just my humble personal opinion and I hope my input is useful when considering your options. Cheers.

Just to add on a little to this thread,

I use my PDA phone GMXT and have the navigation voice routed to my car speakers using bluetooth A2DP wireless. In fact, all my phone calls & music are all through bluetooth now. Check it out

Sorry, I will quote my summary of my posting in a different forum "I will not go out and buy a swiss army knife to cut vegetable".

If I'm going to the track, I buy myself a track car.
