3.03 doesn't have show route function so you would need to go online to view the route, on 3.01 there's such a function and you are able to view all the "turning points" on your handphone. Can you install it and try? |

hey guys, thought i'd post this here rather than making a new thread, as it seemed appropriate.
When I used google maps, the little blue arrow telling me where i am does not stay in one place, despite the fact i am not moving. it is constantly moving around the general area of where i am. on my old lg renoir, this never happened. can anyone explain this to me? or think of a possible solution/reason? thank you |

maybe it's too hyper?  possibly it try to locate your location? are you in the well hidden area where satillite is hard to track? honest i dont know.
alrite about my Garmin XT .. yes i experience the same inaccuracy calculation of speed. when my car not moving it show that im 2.5 km/h at a moving distance. Also when im driving, the reading is not accurate for a few seconds and it's fine after that.
Oh well ill try to search for fix if not i think i can live with that as i dont really look at the speed on my phone rather than on my car  |

mmmmm
ok
just came home, i was traveling
first thing i did , purging gps data
enabled the internet server, so i get faster and better signal
but still , it keeps recalculating like crazy chicken
tha never where to go
the weird thing, when am in my country it work so fine
it also recalculate from time to time
but 2 times i was travveling, both the signal never get good as my home
and recalculate alot
is it the garmin problem
or the gps driver, or hardware issue
cuz i used wisepilot once
and it worked so great
no recalculation
acurate speed reading
and exactly show where am driving??

Is garmin's fault...
The best so far on my Satio is nDrive.

With HD2 i put on TomTom

the GPS in my Satio did not work at all after a fw update, but after a hard reset of the system, it's now working perfectly, and it starts up very quickly too.
plz, how can i do a hard reset ? |

It's both. Garmin recalculates sometimes (for no reason) with my MTK II bluetooth GPS but does that much more often with the internal GPS. I guess it's partially Garmin's fault that it recalculates. On Ovi 3.03, it recalculates on my BT gps too, even on full 10 GREEN bar reception and driving on highway. I know nDrive and Wisepilot work like a charm.
For me, it's either the software or OS. Man I just feel like dumping this phone away after getting the n87 which is coming out late this year.
