hi all, happy new year! Need some advice pls.

1. What are the key difference between Garmin Asus A10 and A50? Both released last year and both using Android 2.1.

2. I saw a newspaper ad that A10 has the shortest time to log on to GPS sat. What about A50? Are these the best GPS phones on the market?

3. Android is now 2.3. Can these be updated to the phones which come with 2.1?

4. Besides GPS, are Garmin Asus phones better than other brands (like HTC which I'm keen too). Any diff? Or are phones now totally dependent on 3rd party aps, since all using Andrioid?

newbie qns, but hope you can help. Thanks.

just get an A50 2 days ago , very good android phone , want to ask at here , MFM garmins maps can load in A50 to use ?

No problem. 2 methods.
Method 1, i:create a new folder in your SDcard. Rename it to "Garmin". ii:Copy the MFM garmin map (gmapsupp.img) into the folder. iii:Then in your a50 navigation setting, click on the menu key then Map Info. iv:You check MFM-Garmin 110516 to select the map. v:It is very important to uncheck Malsing Map and City Navigator Sg/MY maps to prevent crash.
Method 2. If you don't have a SDcard, create a new folder in your internal memory. Rename it to "Map". Repeat step ii to v.
You can copy other country's map into the folder. As long as the file type is *.img, it will auto load the map. i.e indonesia.img, thailand.img.
repeat step iii. You can check other country maps with MFM-garmin map checked. It will not crash at all.
P/s: Method 2 can work on sdcard too.
bye

1. A10 memory is twice of A50. A10 is 512MB Ram & Rom but A50 is only 256MB ram & rom. A50 can support 3D building but A10 cannot. A10 camera is 5mp compare to A50 3MP.
2. A50 locking satellite signal also very fast witout A-gps on. I own a A50 too, compare to my cousin A10, locking speed is about the same.
3. I heard A10 can update to 2.2 but A50 cannot because Garmin already broke-up with Asus. No more future update.
4. Garmin A10 and A50 is a very powerful GPS phone. GPS locking signal is amazing. Very Strong and very sensitive receiver compare to original Garmin PND GPS. In 1st floor of 2 storey concrete building, no problem at all to lock satellite signal at all. At the moment, HTC can only use papago gps sotware(other than google maps). Gps locking signal is normal.

Anyone got the A50 yet? If so, can you give a short review? Wanted to know whether it can log tracks.

A50 is an android phone with firmware 2.1 only. Can log tracks but no option to control. Automatic log when you put the phone on the cradle. Cannot list out log track list. The only way to see you tracks' list is uploading into mapsource. Walking track and waypoints cannot upload to mapsource.
GPS recevier is the strongest I've ever met. Original Garmin PND GPS tak boleh lawan.
Turn on your gps at the 1st floor of a 2 storey building or in a building with metal roof, satellite signal lock within seconds. Cant nuvi gps do that? Tested no!!!
A50 is a little bit lag compare to A10 because of RAM only 256MB.

Set advance task killer to auto kill certain/not frequently use background applications. Some background applications "kacau" especially when in tracking mode for a long distance.
