Have you got GPS on your phone but haven’t been able to use it….

Well GPS – Global Positioning System helps to determine the current location of the user. It makes use of the positioning satellites in the Earth’s orbit. And, it is really fun to use……

So lets get started on how to configure your phone for GPS use.

Press Start —> Settings and Click on External GPS….

Now on the first screen set the GPS Program Port as COM7. (or ANY other port you like)

Then click on the Hardware Tab and then SET the GPS Hardware Port as COM9. (or ANY other port you like :) ) AND set the BAUD RATE as 4800

Then click OK on the top right corner of the screen and you are done with the settings.

Now fire up Google Maps and go to Menu —> Options —> GPS Settings and click on Managed By Windows.

Now you are ready to use GPS on your mobile phone….

ASUS P320 Windows Mobile PDA Phone (EDGE, GPS, Microsoft Office)

January 15th, 2009 Comments off

ASUS has introduced a new phone called the P320.

Features:

1. Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS (Latest)…

2. Slimmest GPS (Global Positioning System) Mobile phone available……

3. 2.6″ Touch Screen…

4. 200 hrs. standby / 4 hrs. Talk-Time

5. microSD memory card slot

6. 64 MB ROM / 32 MB Ram….

My review:

Phone is nice and easy to use due to the keys available on the phone along with the stylus. Has ample speed and includes apps. such as MS Office mobile and Handwriting recognition. Has average volume through inbuilt speakers but the included earphones are great.

You can use Google Maps and pinpoint your location by using the inbuilt Sirf Star III GPS receiver. Hence it is a great feature to find out where you are at the moment with the help of satellites.

At a price of around 12,000 (INR) the phone is truly attractive…….

Ask me more as I have bought one……….
