Never encounter this problem with an iPhone4 even with the v-cool tint that block SmartTag signal.
BTW Sometimes even indoor I can still get SAT signal with iPhone4!
Maybe you try reposition to the right near the side windows?

Ok, Bro...will do. Tks!

is waze sucking data? if yes i wont use it

Of course it sucks data. Otherwise, how can it communicate with Internet to get updates/alerts from other road users ? By call ? By SMS ?

From my experience, Waze uses very minimal data. On my recent trip back to hometown, I turned on Waze all through the trip to check whether there is any traffic jam in the highways. By the end of the trip (about 1.5 hours), I used barely 5 MB of data. If you can afford 5 MB of data, Waze is a great tool to use!!

I also recently installed Garmin Streetpilot, the US version. This is the "map-on-board" version. You can actually download the Malaysia map into it using iExplorer or other file viewer. I prefer the Garmin map compared to the Papago version. So in this poll, I'll vote for "Other - Garmin Streetpilot"

I like to use garmin, but don't know how to incorporate our map/weather into it. Any tips? New to iPhone. Using a 4S

Not sure if a jailbroken iPhone is needed. But a file viewer (iExplorer or iFunBox) and a file permission modifier (iFile) were what I used to copy the .img file to the folders in the app. Google it for more info, I forgot the link already. Did it long time ago.

Thanks!!
Seen a few GPS, but I still prefer the GUI of Garmin. Thanks again Jacky

Waze

for me so far, i think Papago is the best for me...

got both Papago and Sygic in my iPhone but uses Papago all the time...

Did you try with MFM Custom POI ?
Which one should we use ?
(i) Nuvi (.wav)
(ii) Garmin (.mp3)
(iii) MobileXT (Boh-Sia)

Also, which folder to put ?
(i) /private/var/mobile/Applications/xxxxx/Library/sdcard/Garmin/POI
or
(ii) /private/var/mobile/Applications/xxxxx/garmin-nav.app/storage-usa/POI

The Streetpilot similar to MobileXT? I'm kinda interested w/ it

I think it should be \garmin-nav.app\storage-usa\poi

Remember to use iFile to change the permission for all the files that you added:

Ownership:
Owner: mobile; Group: mobile

Access Permissions:
User: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read, Execute
World: Read, Execute

I dun use custom POI, so I can't really help .....

Added on February 11, 2012, 7:16 amYes, very similar indeed. I used to have a Nokia 5800 XM, so I can compare between the two. Initially when I bought my iPhone, I was very reluctant because the best thing about the Nokia 5800 was the Garmin MobileXT. At that time, there was no GPS that was comparable to it on the iOS platform. Now that I found out about this, I finally feel my migration to iOS is justified. Please share and distribute the news!

I saw two versions. One is onDemand and one is the normal streetpilot. Any differences between these two?

I saw the price has increased from 39.99 to 59.99

The version I have is this:

http://itunes.apple.com/mt/app/garmin-u.s....d435490305?mt=8

It cost 39.99 euro, not dollar. The onDemand needs subscription service to download the map on-the-fly. It also means that it uses data. The OnBoard version has the map pre-installed, thus freeing your iPhone from downloading data. OnBoard is the version that you can load Malaysia's map inside. Must be clear between these two.

Garmin is so nice to use. Finally justify my decision to get iPhone liao

For this Garmin, I'm trying to :
(1) Don't know which exact folder to put Custom POI. Still trying out.
(2) Support JCV (JunCtion View) ?

I don't think non-JB one can modify the map. Hence for the purist like me who doesn't like JB, the waiting for Malaysian iPhone's Garmin continues..

Been using sygic and papago.. Papago is good, but map is not really updated. So i prefer sygic as it remind u with some ring i u over speed limit on certain road..

I'm currently in France & TomTom is very much useful!

When I'm back in Malaysia, Papago does the job for me.
