oo..thanks for vid...
so need to choose the lesser polygon one when setup the mfm map?
the full color polygon cannot work?

Frankly speaking, I never had the intention to buy a stand-alone GPS all this while. Been using and still using GMXT, MapKing 2007, Papago X5 and now Papago M6 I've been to all unfamiliar places with the help of all this software. And I can say 99.9% satisfied in finding all places accurately.

Lagging for 1-2 seconds it is, battery draining yes, but I still can't find an excuse to buy a dedicated PNA. And I hope I don't have to. Buying another device for RM500-1500 so it can sit idle in my car most of the time and help me out occasionally just don't make the cut. Afterall, the lagginess is really a minor problem. With JV function or even the general next turn arrow, rarely we are going to miss the next turn or junction. The battery drain is also a minor issue, in-car charger will solve that one.

This all-in-one basket phone still works best for me.

Added on March 22, 2010, 9:58 amWhy so many people having problem with Papago installation and satellite lock? Is it because of the jailbreaking or wrong method of map update?

Satellite lock has never been a problem with my phone.

check again where you get the map file. the .psu is for android version.

Using papago and sygic. Cannot get gps signal. Any solution? jb phone

well bro..first make sure your location is on...get to a open area..then try using the gps...if still cant try reinstalling the app..if you had off edge try on it then connect to the gps...make sure you are using the legal app...

ive tried all the gps for malaysia .. somehow prefer TomTom ..

well..totom..just need to update the poi...i would say the poi are better in ppg..but not the interface...it pretty cheap interface..

Opps.. sorry~~!!

when I do a POI or road search for Sabah, it will crash the Papago M6 app.
do you guys experience similar problem? or is it just me?

Just bought papago.. brought it for a test run, very fast satellite lock down! i tried it two times and both times it got signal almost instantly.. and manage to bring me to my destination

only problem (and weakness) so far compare to my old n82 garmin gps is sometimes when you do turning the car fly out of the road >.< anyone else have this problem?
though i'm quite happy with this app in iphone now.. last time my bro don't even have any good gps application on the iphone, my garmin is god

now if garmin enters iphone market then it will be perfect =)

new papago is out, but the problem is, when i check for available download in itunes, it doesnt give me anything. i aint downloading 170+ mb over the phone

Ah you beat me to it. Yup Papago 6.3 is released. You downloaded 170MB through wifi? Though it can be done, it still way slower than using ur PC.

Update on 6.3: (sorry no new map )

1) start point option
2) better performance (according to maction, I've yet to try)
3) ability to call POI's phone no. (direct from the apps I guess? still downloading..)


Comment:

I have open the app and it seems the UI lagginess is back!

They have change to colorful icons in the menu which yes easy on the eye, but it's very laggy, just like 6.1

The way the icon respond to touch also has changed a bit but nothing to boast of.

As stated in the update, the start point option will pop up once you choose a POI and touch the 'Go!' button

The other two so-called update I'm not very sure as I've yet to try on routing.

Other new thing includes:

1) Postcode option (though I can't find any POI using this function. I believe native mfm mapset do have this ability though)
2) Type error in Function tab for "sorting methed" has been corrected to what it supposed to be.

All in all, I still not satisfied with the UI lagginess issue. This is capacitive for God's sake!

cool, this is the first time i ever saw any updates for an application

I have one question, when typing in the search box for POI in Papago, what are those random keys appearing in the middle of the screen? they don't seem to do anything?

they do, you can press them and it will insert it like your keyboard.

they also tell you the next available letter to press to get a search result.

Aiseh, i thought got new map update.. so means version 6.3 is not worth to download?

sygic interface is much better and also the poi. Not really familiar with tomtom even though heard of it being one of the good gps app for iphone. Any idea if garmin available for iphone?

There's another navigation app around. Papago. The roads in Malaysia is more updated comparing to TomTom.

Just updated papago m6.3, got updated map la, new update has 4th march 2010 malfreemaps
