Is Android backwards compatible? Like when Legend/Desire/Nexus One users finally get the 2.2 update, is Papago X5 usable on it? Coz last time I heard Papago X5 cannot be used on 2.1. Now that when it finally supports 2.1, 2.2 is coming out.

lol. 2.2 is already rolling out to nexus one users, the real deal. Engadget has it that in Q3 (which starts tomorrow) 2.2 will be rolling out to Legend, Desire and EVO. It took 6 months for Papago to support 2.1, and when they did, 2.2 is starting to roll out. C'mon, 2.2 with that SD app storage update, who's not going to update, right?

I, personally, am just waiting for 2.2 to roll out on the Desire. As soon as ppl start getting the official 2.2, i'm getting that Desire.

It is going to change, but time doesn't stop. Maybe this has something to do with Android's fragmentation issues.

Well, who knows, maybe Papago has been working overtime with that 2.2 source code released not long ago.

So, android is not backwards compatible, like how a Win 7 can run a Win 98 program?

only problem i have with Papago X5 is that sometimes it tells me to turn left when the screen is clearly showing a right turn.

lol i'm pretty sure the 'HOLLAND' mentioned by Sampo is not a country.

The search function in Papago is very, how do i put this... non-blanket. Meaning you can only find roads in 'Road Search'. Typing in 'Jalan XXX' in POI search will not show any result. Same goes for searching POIs in 'Road Search'.

If that doesn't help, maybe update the map?

I have an idea. Switch to an android phone as usual, but keep the N8 to be used as a standalone GPS unit. That way you have a new phone to play with, and the GPS that you always loved.

yeah that happens quite often, the click sound and the wrong voice instruction (left instead of right ad vice versa). However I find the on-screen representation to be quite accurate.

I place my phone behind the steering wheel, resting against the speedometer when using the GPS.

Post #1312 just answered the exact same question.


Those having problem getting GPS lock on Papago, try the following:

1) In map view, zoom out until just before you get to view the entire state (any zoom level that is not maximum/minimum). It should lock faster.
2) If it doesn't lock, try to simply find a POI, then set that as destination. Papago should try to route you to the destination from your previous locked position, then promptly start you from your true current location.

Do wait at least 5 minutes before giving up on step 1. If it is to verify if Papago is working fine, please allow for best weather condition before trying.

Steps are not taken from anywhere, but personal trial and error.

To verify if your GPS module is working fine, download any of the GPS apps on Market (personally recommend GPS Test) and run it. See if it detects any satellites, and if it subsequently locks. Give it 5 minutes before giving up.

This one quite random one. Either reinstall (sometimes reinstall also won't solve) or live with it. It happen to me before on android 2.2. After upgraded to 2.3 the clap no more. Might come back though...

X8 is only featured in standalone GPS units. They haven't ported it to Android yet.

What that letter meant (as far as Android PPG X5 is concerned) is that there's a new X8 coming out, and MFM will not be making maps for X5 after 31 August.
