Using GPS on your cell II: Nokia Maps

Its great!!
All you need to do is download the two softwares

1.Map Loader
2.Map Updater

You can download both from the Nokia site. Whats best is you can use the maps offline. No need for a data connection. Saves you money.

The Maps can be downloaded via Map Loader and downloaded to the cell while its connected to the pc in PC Suite mode. The negative is, it seems, it’ll download the entire map of your choice AGAIN and will not just update. Means if you downloaded 65MB map a month back and now its 85MB, it’ll download the entire 85MB again and not the 20MB.

India maps are detailed enoug, if you stick to the major cities and highways. It gets shady as soon as you go into J&K, Himachal, NE, basically off the main highways. For within cities, its adequate.

Has a search address feature too. Yet to use it so cant comment.
The voice guided navigation works like a charm(if you buy it) but is quite dumb, as expected.

More later . . .

An “Agyaat” Disaster!!

Share

This has got to be the most dreadful flick ever in Bollywood history. Well, it was kinda predictable, wasn’t it? RGV at his best, what else do you expect.

To start off, its a rip-off of the Hollywood flick PREDATOR starring Arnie. While the original worked great with the alien hunting down a military party in the middle of nowhere one by one, the desi version of it is, simply put, horrendous.

We have seen rip-offs in the past, but this takes the scales to newer unimaginable depths!! To start off, the technical expertise is just not there to pull off an alien on screen. Solution? RGV names the movie Agyaat and they don’t have to show IT even for a second. Brilliant!! And by the way, the alien which can travel across galaxies is “scared” yes, scared of the water and cries in the rain. RGV and his creative brilliance!!

The cast is pathetic and more so their performances. God my head still aches.

I’m afraid that its not over yet. Before putting an end to it, RGV declares there will be a second part. Oh god!!
