The GPS updates is always given.. it is how the program treats it. One or 2 spurious data may wreak havoc if the software doesn't know how to manage the stream of data coming in.

What if your satellite data got one error.. then it recalculate for no apparent reason because a tree block a bit and it detect that you are on the foot path instead of the road..

So of course the unit needs to be error tolerant..

Plus your CPU need to redraw the maps, especially when it is 3D. And need to check for POI to see if need to alert you to speedtrap.. Need to constantly check that you are on the route that is given.. And need to constantly check if the distance is near the next turn to give you audio warning..

100km/h on highway can miss 2 exits ?

Or you driving 100km/h in residential road ?

Bro,

slow slow lah.. Drive until speed 205kmh must take care the safety first, not a gps...

As always my setting's Que (PDA) shows slower speed than my car's speedometer. But last night I tried with my notebook, just a GPS reading software that shows speed and location, the speed is almost same as car's speedometer.

Somehow Que is slower, maybe because of GPSProxy since I am not using Garmin GPSR.

1stly i never been used that h/way before. further more when u reach the intersection like this with 100kph speed and u r 100% rely on the gps.
like i said, becoz of the late update, i missed it.

The speedo of my car matches the speed reported in my Vista Cx.

1. When routing, should always set "Show Location" to "On Roads".
2. GPS is meant to assist navigation, not to drive your car for you. If someone knows that a turn is coming and still maintain driving speed at 100kph, then it's a user problem, not the GPS system, or GPSr or PDA or whatever. If anyone expects relies on GPS 100%, he/she is better off getting a cab.
3. Dont blame on the late update, instead zoom out a little more to see further and expect your turn coming, slow down. This is basic driving skill.

yeah.. u r rite

lelong..!! lelong..!! Evo 6 for RM20k.


err.. by the way, how to zoom out/in in mapking without it automatically zoom back to normal.

Silverbullet: Actually I know that stretch of road, coming from Putrajaya Link right? I don't think is your GPS problem, it's the map. I have been driving to Cyberjaya for the past week and my Nuvi200 always fails on that "Ring of Death"... So, for that part of the road, I strongly recommend watching out for the sign.
