hi guys,
Yesterday i tried with Papago with iphone setting "Airplane Mode" ON....but my iphone 3gs cannot get the signal from satellite at all after I was driving on the road for 20mins......but once i turn OFF the "Airplane Mode" which means my phone line is back with 3G ON, the GPS can detect my location instantly. So, does this mean that our iphone 3gs with "A-GPS" chip will only work when we have the 3G line ON? I'm trying to save money by not using 3G data but only the A-GPS to get signal from satellite but doesn't work..... Anyone try before ah? |

@ryan_giggs
Yes, the GPS function will only work with telephone. Turning on the Airplane Mode will turn off the GPS as well (I wish Apple could separate these two though) I'm using TomTom v1.0 map (Singapore/Malaysia) currently. If anyone scroll back a few pages, you will notice my previous reviews of TomTom (MY/SG) vs Sygic (MY/SG/TH). Also had a 3-day driving experience with TomTom Thailand a few weeks ago. One thing I notice with my current phone. Turning on Location Service and launching my TomTom apps will result in "Waiting for GPS signal" indefinitely. My workaround: I launch Google's map and touch the round circle to pin point my current location. After that I relaunch TomTom and the signal is now locked. |

Thanks for all the good review on papago pro guys. I just bought and still downloading from iTunes. Didn't know that the price was higher than USD19.90 before. So thankful for the good deal.
EDIT: First time GPS user here. Was waiting for this software for quite some time since I am using non jailbreak iphones. I will test this both on my iphone 3G and 3GS and give some reviews later. I am currently on a Celcom 3G unlimited package, and with all the 3G problems lately with Celcom, I hope the 3G problem would not affect too much on the performance of the A-GPS.
