QUOTE(liverpool red @ May 25 2012, 09:16 AM) Garmin MY/SG has just been released! using malsing maps as indicated in the description. Priced reasonable but its a huge file download, a whopping 1.24GB! Anyone using it already? Can review? +1!! I am already using the US version but hacked with the MY/SG map for months before this came out. Not sure about this particular version. Yes the file size does sound scary, and I dunno what they mean by free lifetime map. But it sure looks promising. I prefer this interface rather than PAPAGO. TS pls update this poll, coz Garmin is gonna get a lot of users here now

QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ May 26 2012, 02:25 PM) Can the maps be downloaded and hence work without Internet connection? the app description says it works without internet...thus the big file size. Added on May 27, 2012, 1:37 ami've been using papago m6 lite since 2010. till today, there's no map update. feels like being cheated by maction. i hope the garmin map will be updated as mentioned. it'll be better if it's mfm (some says msm better in sabah & sarawak).

Based on my experience with Nokia Maps, the downloaded file size is always much bigger than the final actual installed file size. So if it says the download is 100MB, the final installed size would be say.....70MB.

In sygic, it doesn't even show kelana jaya . So how can i go to Paradigm Mall using gps ? another landmark is Subang Parade and Sygic doesn't have that landmark in it's POI . so i was dissapointed a bit with Sygic. May i know if anyone who own Garmin able to confirm whether these 2 landmark is available in Garmin otherwise i just stick back with Sygic app and save the money for another day. thanks.

I suffered the same POI issue as you. I used Garmin USA before and change the map to MFM. Yes, I can search for the POIs. Not sure about Garmin SG/MY, haven't use it yet.

I can find subang parade but can not find paradigm mall using garmin. Still I think garmin far better than sygic.. Yes.. I also bought sygic... Very disappointing! If you want better map buy Papago.but garmin has better ui and more smooth

I wonder if user can add POI into their own apps and share it out in Sygic ?
