Ya, so good for u~~iphone 4 processor must faster than iphone 3gs wat.....

I have tom-tom and Papago,
Overall I'll say both is good but I'm more relying towards papago.

Easy and fast to navigate and very accurate

one thing tho abt papago is that its not optimize for retina lol

any body had offline map install to iphone...

If you mean map updates...of course...you can get them from here:

I respect MFM..latest maps..

How to install them?

Remember to backup the original maps in your computer first just incase you dun like MFM latest version which cuts out the UI voice (yeah...the noisy background voice)

I have see that they Sygic Southeast Asia: GPS Navigation new apps released for Iphone currently price at $34.99, updated 15 Apr 2011 is updated on the Itunes apps store. Anyone have bought the apps and mind to do some review about the new GPS apps?
Just wanted to know if the iphone 3g connection is turn off, does Sygic GPS still continue to work and gets the signal using the internal GPS of the iphone like the Tom Tom GPS apps?

Well, I'm so used to GarminXT on my WM phone....other GPS programs simply pale in comparison...anyway, since this is iphone forum here is my opinion on Sygic.

I tried Sygic Mobile maps (on my friends Iphone), well I must say...while papago and TomTom are a no brainer to use...MobileMaps UI are seriously troublesome...I really dunno how to go to addresses or even stop the Navigation easily.
Taping on the arrow make more confusing options which are not really user friendly while on the move....and the speed alert function is over protective to the driver

Just maybe Synic Mobile Maps are tops in Singapore, but I'm not so sure here in Malaysia..I'll stick with Papago on the iphone...but even Papago could do better with customize POI and better search function.


Regarding the Iphone 3G off..If I'm not mistaken, only original Iphone Maps use this feature...other with preinstalled maps like Papago, TomTom and probably Synic doesn't need AGps functions...but I could be wrong.

>_< still waiting for the Garmin Street Pilot to come over to malaysia..

i just update my PapaGo to version 8.1.5 for the iphone..

I noticed that, there is no triangle to locate our current position.. usually, it will show a triangle of where u are..

but with 8.1.5 ... it doesnt show any..

did u guys experiance this?

Yeah..need to wait for a Telco to have that features....but then again..if I'm not mistaken, Streetpilot is a watered down version of the GarminXT...and maps / POI wont be as good as the MFM versions.
And if you are at kampung area no 3G...i dun think it will work either


Yes, after I read your post I tested it out...Yes the triangle is missing...will try out this version later on

Added on April 24, 2011, 12:30 pmJust bought and tested the Sygic SE Asia v11 and here my feedback. As tested in Penang area. Lots of POI and maps very accurate better comparing to TomTom. Fast GPS lock. Easy search of locations and user friendly. Nice GUI and even have weather forecast. Lots of language for the voice navigation, Malay, Chinese, English(US, UK, Aus and many more). Do not need to have any 3G data connection and still works fine..
MAPS INCLUDED
Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore with 6 digit postal code search, and Manila in Philippines.
Finally, have tried papago M8, TomTom and im using Sygic now....starting to like Sygic....

Gosh! Did Papago screw something up this time? Difficult to use it without the triangle!

OK, i did a test on the latest Papago 8.1.5..with the original maps it came with.

But before i go to there.....I must say, 8.1.0 was a bit Cuckoo..the background voice was noisy and simply calling out road names like it had a mind of its own...we don't need that....we also dun need big font road names...end of the day....the screen was messed up...

Now comes the 8.1.5.....yes, they took out the arrow and noisy voice, who needs an arrow when the car we are driving is actually the arrow?...good idea by the developers...screen looks 'cleaner' now, but...seriously, its kinda difficult to estimate which road to go into without the arrow. Its not that the GPS is super fast...there is a slight lag...and we need arrows to compensate this.

Well, end of the day, I recommend 8.1.0 + the latest downloadable free MFM maps....why?...
We get back the arrow...+Latest MFM maps have smaller icons and Road names and none of the noisy background voice...it makes the screen just as what we want.



But thats just me...

how to install malfreemaps? anyone had any guide?

just look at my post above numbered #1128
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=41554520

But take note, while most will like it, some might prefer the original one that came with Papago! ...just try it out..

Remember to check out the two links I gave.
1 is for downloading the latest April map...and another link is for how to customize it to Iphone (need to rename 5 files)
Might be tedious at first...but later it will be very simple when you get the hang of it.
