GPS Navigation System [merged threads]

JohnnyD: You mentioned on other forum that you have the ability to conduct real-time GPS reading (that's my understanding). Remember the laguna lake tour. I have also visited waypoints.ph and it gives the gps reading of most destination.

I just found out na sa Handango ay mayroon ng GPS software for smart phone like SE P910i which I happen to have bought a month ago. At ang good news is may map sila ng buong south east asia including Philippines.

So anyone interested check it out in www.handango.com

Mga Bro's

Kung may PDA kayo or smart phone you can use Vito smart map from www.handango.com.
They also have maps of south east asian countries including Pinas.
But you need to have Bluetooh GPS to work with your PDA or phone since walang built in GPS ang mga phone and most PDA's.

check ko nga. may bluetoth na ang Tungsten T ko. GPS na lang.

gps units can record coordinates, so as you go along a route you create wayoints. this is a basic feature of gps units. at the return leg, you can reverse the sequence of your recorded waypoints w/ the last wp as the first target. when you reached the first wp within 50m (depends on setting) the next wp is displayed & so on & so forth. tried using gps in a jet, ok naman. it still gives heading, speed, gps coordinates. sayang lang we don't have detailed maps of philippine cities kaya automated navigation is no use here.

you can visit waypoints.ph if you want to get gps coodinates of tourist spots, places of interest, etc. here in the philippines. the wapoints are by no means complete & the website accepts waypoint contris. check it out.

please correct me if i am wrong, but you still need a gps receiver with bluetooth & this gadget does not have an lcd screen (am i right?) because you will be using the screen of your laptop/pda or your smartphone. the prices of bluetooth receivers i saw ranged from $200 to $900. bulky pa because you will be bringing 2 pieces of equipment. better get a regular gps and we still don't have the detailed city maps of the philippines not like in the us & europe. maybe meron na nga but it is for commercial use & is expensive.

sa p910i lang ba?. merun kaya for 9500? hehe

mga peeps, may nag-iinstall na ba ng gps navigation sa mga sasakyan dito sa pinas? meron na ba tayong existing provider? sa palagay ko maganda kasi malaki ang tulong nya in finding places. di mo na kailangang bulaklatin ang road map mo. standard feature na kasi yan sa tate at europe.

thanks bro, sorry nagkamali pa ako sa pag post ng thread, nakita ko na ang thread about gps sa car electronics

[cesar]

So far wala pre. What we have now here in Phils are GIS cos who happens to have digital maps ng Pinas which they use as part of their business by subscribing to these cos to track or locate your car and not to give a service of finding a certain location. Isa pa, mahirap maglaunch ng ganyang service dito sa tin kasi pabago-bago ang daan like names of the street, and the right direction kasi minsan two-way then minsan one-way.

*cesar actualy bro meron na dito sa pinas ngayon..you just need to buy a device like mitac and it is buddle with guideme software developed by a local company which also the developer of findme vps and trackme. alam ko a-toyz nagbebenta ng mitac

guideme software can locate your location and plot it on the map. to know about the software just visit www.findme.com.ph

[cesar]

Wala bang subscription ito? Just what i said Findme is a GIS company that sells their services on location base system. So if this Mitac that u said is a device u can install sa sasakyan mo, who will update the data on it?

Mga tsikoteers, i know ang pinaguusapan ay GPS sa Pinas, pero gusto ko lang pong i share ang experience ko sa aking GPS device, gaya po ng sinabi ni vindiesel they're readily available sa europe, us at lalo na po sa japan. pero hindi kailangan ng installer, you can get a portable one kagaya po ng sa akin, at hindi rin po kailangan mag subscribe cause its free. These are very reliable little devices, para pong may navigator ka sa passenger side, every time po na lalarga kami sa malalayong lugar ay naka gps, at may voice guide pa kahit hindi ka na tingin ng tingin sa gps, all you have to do is listen at kung na-miss mo exit or turn ay usually re-route ka ng gps automatically. Ni minsan eh di po kami naligaw. Ang set up ko po ay PDA, portable GPS (nakalagay sa CF slot ng PDA) at Mapping software (Destinator 3 map of western Europe). Kung po sa Pinas ay readily available mga PDA at GPS naman u can get online pero po ang mapping software hindi po ako sure kung meron o available na.

[brito]

medyas,magkano bili mo sa portable gps mo?

[Camgen6]

brito, i think mga $200 back then...here is the site...
