60CSx best accuracy

Taken in a beach in Ilocos, no external antenna, clear sky no clouds. This is the best accuracy I have ever seen in my 60CSx, the GPS is in satellite page. the accuracy is in the upper left corner, +/- 2meter

Thank you razorspells. nice pic... re gps enabled celfone, is the satellite signal provided by network ? or is it free like our garmin nuvis ?
Have check with globe yesterday, she said it is thru their internet connection, so we pay for it.. same with the other network daw (smart)...

hi elx221, the GPS signal from the satellite is totally free.. it does not rely on the network.. however if the GPS app that you are using on your phone requires something from the internet, then that is where you get charged by the network.

On my samsung omnia there's a setting there called "Enhanced GPS settings" that will download the latest satellite data from the internet. I did not enable that because it will download from the internet and the network would charge me for that. I use Garmin MobileXT on the phone and it works perfectly without downloading anything from the internet..

Don't mind her, she's probably talking about google maps where you do need to have an internet connection for it to work. For gps enabled phones, even without a sim card, garmin xt works just fine & for free... Give it a try without the sim... HTH
