Google and Download Google Maps [brut] version 4.4.0-brut16 ( about 6.7MB) - is afree download. You can use this to replace your default Gpoogle Maps for voice assisted navigation. I used this several times when I go up to Kuala Lumpur and in Singapore. The navigation features quite similar to MapKing but it has a top header with directions listed. It works very well ( at least I never got lost in KL and Spore) and successfully guided me. The voice however is slightly on robotic tone and pronunciation of road names is not very good, I'd said similar to PapagoX5.

oh, never try that..

You need to install the bruts version (but its still at version 4 though) here

I am using it as my main navigation now instead of papago, mainly because of its reroute feature, when I see a junction ahead, and turning right is all jammed up, I can just check google maps whether there's an alternative route that I can use to turn left.

Papago, dunno how to do this.

using offline maps?

hi guys

how come my papago x5 cant load the map?

its stated need to install maps in SD... ??

i see thx for the replies..

anyway, here is what ive done,

downloaded maps from malfreemaps.com..

installed papago x5 app from market

placed d maps in the NaviSEA>Maps>MALAYSIA>....

i can open my papago, but nothing appears except for the top notification bar which says (Papago X5 initializing..) and a black background

how you install it? from market?

do you have the sd content? you need to download the content to put in your sd card

yes i install it from market....

any idea? papago x5 stated new to install map and store in sd... where can i get map and which director/folder shall put into it in order properly function?

you need to purchase the sd content together with the maps

or google it

i only transfer the installed maps from pc to the internal sd and place it like below

NaviSEA>Maps>MALAYSIA> installed maps from malfreemaps

i think you need the sd content, not just the map

galaxy s

when u first open papagoX5, it will prompt you to download map at a website. Go to that website, download the files (5 zip files) to your computer, extract all out and you will see a Navisea folder. Just copy that folder to your internal sd card. Start your papagox5 again.

i thought tht 1 have to pay n is a trial?

It will be trial version at first. If you like it , then pay for it. If you want a faster more convenient way , buy locally online or go to M3 shops :

Get Papago X5 mobile here : you can buy online or from any of their stores:

If you use GPS navigation a lot, this is a good purchase. I bought it during the last PC Fair and it works well on my previous NexusONe, Galaxy S and present Dell Streak and HD2 ( Android rom ) even though it is said it will have issues on Froyo ; so far no issue that I am aware of

hav u read all the related papago x5 issues on Galaxy S in this thread? just do a search on "galaxy" inside this thread...
your problems seems to be the same as the one which had been discussed before...

thanks bro, helps a lot

yes, searching for it. thanks

Some comments on Galaxy S; Don't expect too much from this phone as its GPS is , I hate to say is horribly poor. It is a hardware issue , and acknowledged by Samsung in the early months but till now still not rectified. PaPago X5 can run on it but sometimes you have to bear with the slower GPS lockup. Not only that it can be at times ridiculously inaccurate and unreliable . My worst experience was once on the highway on my way to KL, at Sg Besi toll it suddenly shows me to be in Rome\Italy !!!

You will also read of many users failing to install it on the SGS as I guess ( no offence to anyone) they were trying to install some other non-genuine versions. As for me, the installation is very simple and straightforward just like my other Android phones. Once installed, launch it and it works , the maps will be shown though the GPS lockup takes longer

yeah, gps is an issue in galaxy s. many complaints bout it in the galaxy s thread
