coz i have showed proof that i have a working X5 from m3asia on my SGS.

Okay, fair enough. My bad.

Another question, so does the X5 natively support 800x480? Because i do not want to end up getting a low res version and getting stretched and looks ugly on my phone. Can you provide a few screenshot showing map and navigation? Because i'm really considering to buy one. Also, does the license entitle you for further software upgrade in the future? Or is it strictly for X5 only?

i did provide it earlier.
limjonyee was the only one who saw before i took it down.
refer post #442.

it definitely works on sgs at full res 800x480. it was made for that res.

however to be truthful there are 2 downfalls to this version of X5. nothing major though.

I think this file can be used for android 2.1. its the X5.1

Not sure whether to buy because
1)MFM no longer update papago maps
2)Wonder if it will support froyo

If can test first then buy would be nice. I dont stay near the M3 shop.

Hi Jangyelo,

What file are those in the link that you have provided?
Those files are so small in size, cant be the application right?

Anyway guys, I am using Google map Brut14 and it seems like there is a feature to save maps to SD card
The discussion is in this thread
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Post...f=222&t=1448416

I believe that that link provides just the X5 app for your phone. But need the maps. I think this is where we need M3 to go to m3.
Not very sure cause my first android phone and I'm searching for a good gps app.

I installed the brut navigation. I read somewhere that even if you can save the maps to sd, it can only be used for the brut maps and not for navigation.

anyone got the papago x5.1 data files? I can't seem to be able to download from papago's site.

yup, from the photo it definitely shows that papago x5 sea versioin runs on the samsung galaxy s, which is android 2.1 btw... i don't think we should discuss ahem software... maybe those who wants to try it out can call the distributor? it's out of the question for me cos i live in johor... sigh

MFM will continue producing Papago maps. Re-construction takes time.

Im still unconvinced, so i wanted to try a generic X5 i found somewhere with the 5.1 patch given above. Upon running, it says that "Map data validating failed..", yes i have the default taiwan map in the navi/maps/tw and exited just like that. where have i done wrong?

This post has been edited by gzero: Jul 7 2010, 06:49 PM

I did some analysis, I found out that it uses a different data set. Anyone knows where to get the new data set? btw its the Navi folder in the sdcard

where can i get map for malaysia? i am using m7..

time and time again, i have told you. M6 & M7 isnt for malaysia.

and i'm going to offer this one last time,

IF you have purchased the ORIGINAL through maction, show me proof of your purchase, i will personally teach you how to dump MFM maps into M6 or M7 the right way. bear in mind this is only a temp solution with bugs.

poi's wont be extensively searchable and the roundabout icons will still be taiwanese's left hand drive mode. so would some voice prompts.

we begin our journey into a roundabout using clockwise method. Taiwanese on left hand drives are the total opposite.
so ......... show me the proof that it is original that you have purchased, and i will tell u how and what to dump.

Added on July 7, 2010, 11:50 pmapart from that, if you hadnt purchase an original M6 or M7 or X5 or X3, please carry your illegal discussion elsewhere.

lowyat's r&r is on the top.

Alright since you gave me an assurance that it will in fact work. I will buy it but before that, there is few last question in mind which i hope you dont mind answering. Please bear in mind that i have been a long term user of Mobile XT and is only forced to migrate to Papago because of Android, so i am really skeptical of software other than garmin. You know what i mean.

1. How are the details of the maps/POI compared to the Garmin counterpart of MFM? (Comparing the same dated map of course, since papago MFM is last updated at April)
2. How easily searchable are the addresses? On Mobile XT, it's very very easy. I hope it is the same on Papago.
3. Is it in english by default? Because i can't read chinese.
4. Is there a pinch zooming support (multitouch)?
5. What are the 2 downfall you mentioned, i know it's nothing major but still i'm curious?
6. What actually cause the MFM Papago to be suspended? Are you confident that it will be resumed? I don't care when, just as long as it will be back. I just want some re-assurance so i won't buy this software only to head into dead end of map updates.

Thanks in advance!

NTD jz 599 only. about myr60

http://buy.yahoo.com.tw/gdsale/gdsale.asp?...4c0547de27c5982

buy ori, buy this.

wanna cheap, learn chinese.

I think this is for taiwan only...

1 - MFM makes papago and garmin maps. just so happen mfm produces legitimate papago maps. both come from same source of data so there will be no difference apart from the few minor engine calculations.

2 - its faster and better on papago. much much faster as everything is indexed. your searches come up in less than 1 second.

3 yes , X5 from M3asia is in english.

4 nope. not that advanced.

5 not all poi's are displayed. route plan is incomplete. apart from that the poi icons are screwed up and routing is abit off. these are bugs that existed in papago PND's as well. cept for the poi icons are not screwed in PND units . seriously, this is not a problem.

6 that is a confidential piece of information. i am not at liberty to answer that. However, i can answer you this, the papago map is now in reconstruction and even a beta version is released. i can assure u that papago maps will be made. for how long , that i cannot guarantee.

and my advice, if you really want to purchase it, call M3asia before u do. tell them u strictly want the X5 mobile for android 2.1 samsung galaxy S.
they have it as i got it from them. (though mine is given)

Hi All,

What buntutwoman said .. is true. but currently only for Android 1.5 until 2.1 that really works , still workin for 2.2 .. 1 thing why always u ppl compare papago n garmin, if u thinkin garmin the best. then wait for garmin to release for android
As buntutwoman mention go to m3asia and asking them u wanna install for new version of android..

p/s buntutwoman : as u mention earlier , ur papago was been given ?? is it right ??

there is no news at all about garmin releasing on android, not that i don't want to wait. for all we know, they might not even release the mobile version anymore, just like they discontinued mobile xt on symbian. and the reason i compared it's because i've been using garmin all my life and i loved it, despite the fact that it's a bit slow. that's why my expectation of any new gps software is such that it must have feature to match at least those offered by garmin if not better.

ya they said mobile xt wont be updated but new version came out Garmin Mobile XT v6.00.10 for symbian
