If motonav is worth the money, then i dunt mind purchasing it tongue.gif. Feel free to feedback more after you have used it intensively... but sounds like the initial review from you is good thumbup.gif

Actually I forgot to mention in my earlier post but I've actually been using Sygic Mobile Maps and not MotoNav. Perhaps some of the forumers can feedback for MotoNav. For some reason, my MotoNav was having read errors so I just ditched it early on.

I also made a correction to the Malaysia supported GPS apps. It should be below:-
MotoNav/Igo
Ndrive
Sygic Mobile Maps (earlier I wrongly wrote Copilot)

So far its not bad, though there was 1 rural area in Melaka which the maps isn't complete/accurate.

IINM, u pay 60USD for only a 2 year subscription for Motonav. Since I'm new to this, I'm not sure how other software like Garmin/Tomtom/Papago fare in pricing/subscription wise. So, I'm not really sure if the price is justified, but I'm sure everyone wants free lifetime maps even if we pay for it biggrin.gif

On a another note, my phone is still rebooting randomly even after I did a clean & wipe + reformat SD card. doh.gif It's frustrating, wonder if some downloaded apps are causing this issue. I've unistalled some apps that I had earlier to see if it still auto reboot.

The common type of application that might cause random reboot are home replacement, widget and task killer/task manager. Of course, you might just happen to have a bad unit too, i.e better went back to the service center if still under warranty and the problem persists.

not surprised. some apps are made for cupcake/donut instead of 2.1.. so if you encounter some FC/reboot after installing some apps, probably that software is the cause of it.

For GPS applications in Android phone, you can count Garmin Mobile XT out because it has been discontinued. TomTom don't have extensive coverage for Malaysia maps so you can count that out as well.

That leaves us with Papago. It does have an Android version called Papago X5 Mobile Version and it supports all the 3D landmarks, buildings, ability to distinguish flyovers and underpasses, 3D junction view, lane assist, etc. You will have extensive map support (Free) from Malfreemaps.com and their releases included POIs and junction views.

But you need to check if their current version supports 2.1. Last I heard is 1.6 only but maybe they released new updates. Price is RM149 for the software. For maps, you get it free from Malfreemaps.com. They do have special promotion during PC Fair where price is RM99.

Oh?!? Check settings. I have trouble with some complex settings to make it NOT vibrate in Profiles and Handcent.

BTW I still haven't figured out how to set up the Groups in Contacts. Anyone, help?

Also, any answering machine app found?

Allright people, time to get you guys excited.

Here's how to get Google Navigator onto your Milestone without needing to root and all the fancy stuff.

#1
Download the files:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6IIOGIPW

#2
Extract the files into the root of your SDcard

#3
Using a file manager/browser, install the following files which you have extracted into your sdcard/Download folder
GoogleEarth.apk
maps3.3.1...apk

The rest of the files, you don't need.


You now have 2 program named 'Maps' , the second one is with Navigation. I have tested this and it works. Enjoy drool.gif
