bedanya sama navigasi di w595 apa ya??

eksklusif kayak T700 Shining Silver juga ya??

@tekimania

maksudnya navigasi? aplikasi GPSnya?

aplikasinya si standar aja, kek SE laen yg ada GPSnya, ada google maps, wayfinder (lisensinya 3 bulan), ama tracker. yg lumayan sering dipake si googlemaps (kalo lagi iseng pengen liat rumah pas lagi homesick dari ruang kuliah...)

geotagging ga tau makenya gimana. hahaha.

nyari satelitnya rada susah kalo gak bener2 di tempat terbuka yang ga da atapnya...

@whiteeye

oh. ada ya? shining silver? bahkan gw sejujurnya belon pernah liat ada yang make t700...
