Well, nokia maps are crap, sometime back they recorded Razor's speed at 200 kmph somthing on his RTR

Download Google maps, easy to use & much more friendly. It is used by Me, Cos, Razor, Rachit, Alankar & many other. You can add us on G-latitude so we can follow your journey

200 kmph really Wow.. Then I guess everyone shall get nokia maps instead of a SBK to break their high speed mark barrier easily..

Well I also have Google maps, but somehow it just does'nt connect to the GRPS yaar.. However I did not had any idea about its popularity among you guys so I'll reinstall (different latest version if available & try again)
PS: Dont u need GPRS to follow someone on G-Lat ? I mean if I add u on G-Lat & tour where there is no GPRS, can u guys still track me?

Thanks again Satyen.. I guess I'm gonna stick to Google maps for the time being.. Does mammymaps provide an application alike G-maps ?

Yes we keep playing around updating our positions on the Latitude & keep tracking other friends..!! :P
but to update your status on google lat. you need GPRS/WiFi.! as you are updating back to the website.

For getting the directions in areas without GPRS, you need to have offline maps.!
You may check on net about the offline maps of india. I havent tried any offline maps yet though.. But thats a solution IMO

GPRS is used ONLY for downloading the maps and POIs
You can download the map you intend to visit in varying level of detail using wifi or gprs and then use it from cache when you tour.

initially in my n95 even after removing my sim card, it used to fetch satellites properly but after sometime it needed gprs to locate me!

tired of it now!

Any of you guys have any experience on using high end nokia phone GPS for touring purposes ?? I'v nokia maps but it does'nt work well without GPRS & we dont get GPRS easily when we tour outside mumbai so the need of GPS.

its google maps which does not work properly without gprs.. for nokia phones there is an application called nokia maps updater.. download that, choose the map you need and update it.. it had worked me for the past two years.. but connecting to satellite sucks in ovi maps though!

hi all,

I am planning for a South Tour next week. I require your help.
Could please lend me 2 saddle bags and 1 tank bag with all the needful (bungee chords). Ram and me (both Pune xbhpians) are short of these stuff and are unable at the moment to arrange one.

Ram would be in Mumbai over the weekend (Fri-Sun).So if anyone can help, he can come and collect it. The tour's from 18th -26th Sept.


@Satyen,DK,Rachit,Spidy,Motor,Ketan,Biru,Gopi - Brothers...plz help.

Please PM me incase you can lend one.

sorry man.. could not speak to you properly as i was stuck up with some work at office!!

my saddle bags are with motor.. you can get it from him..

Well, nokia maps are crap, sometime back they recorded Razor's speed at 200 kmph somthing on his RTR

lol, yeah it showed like 210 kmph on my rtr

Thanks bro.. I'd contact Hyperion, Gopi in that case..
Using the map through cache is my current option as of now but so far whenever I got stuck with no help around, cached maps option had hardly helped me as I never get detailed levels of the maps cached & just have the general route of my intended directions in my cache.
PS: I'm personally not a fan of BB but it will be definitely my next 1 for sure once i wear out my current nokia N85

nokia maps are good but you can also try satguide maps for mobile phones! not sure how it works on mobile though, but i have a GPS unit which is loaded with satgiude.. i find it good for city and yet to test it outside! It costs 999/- now with some offer! worth checking out

[satyenpoojary]

Razor seems like you have switched on AGPS .. hence the issue .. go back to GPS
