QUOTE(olak329 @ Feb 18 2012, 08:48 PM) 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.. what means the map is not really updated?Added on March 3, 2012, 2:02 pm QUOTE(jackyyong @ Feb 11 2012, 07:12 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Yes, 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!   Any screen shots or mini review? Does it recognized gmapsupp.img? This post has been edited by DarkNite: Mar 3 2012, 02:02 PM |

Only those Custom POI like speed reminder don't have (yet). Text-to-Speech got. e.g "in 100m, turn left", "turn left, then turn right"  |

QUOTE(work_tgr @ Mar 5 2012, 05:18 PM) Can you guys give the results why should I get GPS apps ? Results or reason ? It depends whether you want an integrated GPS app in your phone, or you prefer standalone dedicated GPS. Both have pros and cons. But, if you are very good with roads and can go everywhere without ever looking at maps or asking for directions, then you don't need GPS |
