finally, nagawa ko rin paganahin ang gps ng 5800 ko. yun nga lang, very sad to say, nokia maps are not detailed. pero good news is that, may garmin mobile xt para sa mga 5800 users.

question ko lang, may philippine map na ba ang garmin? how detailed is it?

meron, dito....http://roadguide.ph/

metro manila is quite detailed and usable. overall, this is the best (and only) garmin map that I found. Works great on the 250W that I am using.

finally, i got my gamin mobile xt to work on my 5800 and navigation is ok. yun lang, tagal maglock-on sa satellite, say 3 minutes ata more or less. pero tried navigating, ayos na ayos!

Initial lock-on from a cold start usually takes a long time, especially when you haven't used the system of at least a day.

ah, ganun pala yun. is there a way para masolve eto, o kaya eh maminimize ang inital lock-on niya?

^^^ Keep the device turned on

well, if you are planning a trip... you can let it lock on it's current position (your trip's starting point) on the night before. Otherwise, you just have to wait in your car for it to lock on its current position.

Honestly, it's not really worth the effort to "pre-lock" the GPS the night before just to save a minute or two.
