yeah, PPG's interface not exactly as friendly as garmin, however it should be the latest gps for iphone SEA

Hey guys,

I was trying to get a GPS app for my Iphone 3GS. So which is better?

-Papago M6 SG/MY (Lite) is free? What do you mean by no juction view?
-Is any Garmin App is compatible for Iphone?

As i search for garmin app in applestore and there is a garmin app availabe and need to purchase, can the app suitable for malaysia?

Please advice me on this matter?

Thx!!

Garmin for iPhone? There's no such thing for the time being. That must be a guide for garmin or something. Read carefully all descriptions.

Lite still cost you $19.99.

This is JV function.



A pop up window whenever you meet a junction and show you which junction to go. Very handy when in big city with those complicated expressway.

Bear in mind though that not every junction that you meet will be greeted with this function. It's up to the mappers in MfM to decide.

Please refer to this website. I found it when browsing the AppStore.....

Hi,

Just wondering which is the most accurate GPS for iphone as of today?

Is it tom tom, sygic or the new papago?

And also do we need to pay for internet data if we use the GPS on the iPhone?

And also for the tomtom, sygic and papago.. do they have their own malaysia maps? or do we use malsingmaps?



Thank you!

What I'm trying to say since you are the one that gave the link you should have read the site. Clearly stated on the site that it's a guide to garmin devices, kind of digital manual app for garmin device

is there any way to set the iphone to use A-GPS or GPS?

what are you trying to say bro.....gor gps you can get the app form itunes app store...there 2-4 apps for gps which allocate malaysia...

I mean, iphone has A-GPS function which we will be charged if using it. But GPS itself is free. So, is there a way to toggle between using A-GPS or GPS?

no i dont think so....a-gps using your 3g...but gps uses satelite signal..just incase you lock 3g service..gps cant be use as usual...t

Yes. The location services is the A-GPS function.

However this will affect iPhone's google map as it uses A-GPS only. Unlike Google map in other phone, there is no option for GPS.

So if you wish to use a navigation app by using GPS solely, it's better to use apps like Papago, TomTom etc.

alright, thanks for clearing it up.

Sygic Aura available for Malaysia, Singapore..
Any big different with previous one? anyone using it?

It's in the news several months ago.

It's simply adding 3D building for the so-called navigation ease and ideal for social networking as it integrates chatting function.

A new idea but probably not useful.

Plus 3D building does not really help you in navigation seriously. Because there is so few of them that only selected famous building will appear. Especially in Malaysia.

Considering this is the same developer that produce Mobile Maps for SEA, I expect it's POI database and road network basically the same.

I still have my vote on Papago with 3D buildings and extensive network.
Nevermind if it's not as elegant as Sygics UI, but it takes me to the place i want to

I am currently testing Sygic's Aura. So far I'm pretty impressed with the work they have done on making the app much more friendlier to use. The 3D navigation is very fluid and nicely implemented and a welcomed change over the Mobile Maps 2009 interface. It's also got some nice integration with some online services (have not tested). For malaysia currently only weather works. There's a traffic option as well but it's not available here as I think they are still working on it.

There's also some additions such as GPS strength indicators and the map integration to the compass, hence it changes views as you move. There's also option to select routing options based on whether you intend to walk or drive there.

POI wise, looks quite ok and pretty extensive. For some POI they have included info like phone numbers, etc.

GPS lock on is much faster compared to Mobile Maps 2009.

I will be taking it for a further test drive tomorrow. Will share my results here with you guys after the test.

sifu, how to update my Papago map to latest without having to delete the app in my iphone since i have saved lot favorites..
