aramis11 Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 hi, How is the GPS reception and battery performance of F500BT Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 GPS reception good. Battery life bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpystig Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Ditto. But substitute 'really crap' for 'bad' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aramis11 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 i think the battery problem is general problem of GPS devices. Lets talk about GPS reception. What is general cold start time? Generally it will take 30 seconds. What about f500bt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobelsteve Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I get a whole day between recharges Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aramis11 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I get a whole day between recharges how? without using whole day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Must have a short commute I get a whole day between recharges Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The battery problem is even more of a problem when you have a 5.8" WVGA screen instead of a 3" shitty one like most portable navs i think the battery problem is general problem of GPS devices. Lets talk about GPS reception. What is general cold start time? Generally it will take 30 seconds. What about f500bt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dumpystig Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I can get a whole day too............ get up in morning, disconnect charger, turn 500 off, go to work, arrive home, turn 500 on, reconnect charger - brilliant Seriously tho, the massive screen does take a lot of power, but surely it should have been equipped with a larger battery Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aramis11 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 battery of f500bt is replaceable? i heard somewhere if you discharge and charge battery 5 times it will be as its first day. After that it will last long as first day. And please say me when i get in the car how will it take to begin navigation generally? will i be have any problem about GPS reception?
