For the PPG map update on non-JB phones, just be patience guys, the update will appear on itunes eventually. since we have been waiting this long after all, no harm in waiting a little bit more. Patience is after all, a virtue.

As for the stand-alone GPS vs phone GPS, both devices also have their own pro and cons, just a matter of how much usage is involved.

Finally map update for papago on iTunes. I suspect it's a big file.

Papago M8 is available via update. Read it in iTunes that its only a map update. Now downloading and have a test run later to see any improvements to the interface.

For the newbies, using gps app like papago DOESN'T require 3G or internet connection. Using it is free and it comes with preloaded maps from malfreemaps which to me has the most updated map for Msia and Singapore.

Sure, ppg is not perfect but it serves me well. I'm using the pro version and absolutely love the junction view option. Makes life more easier when driving in big cities.

Tested it for a whole this morning. Seems like the car pointer flying off from the road problem is lesser. Or maybe it's because i wasn't driving too fast.

Yup, the front page still says M7. There is a new function which I have no idea what it does. Latest map is January 2011 malfreemaps map.

Wow now I know what is the recorded all about. I guess there's really no such thing as a perfect product in the market. If not for malfreemaps I won't consider PPG

Did a quick search for tropicana medical centre on Tom Tom and sygic just now and can't find it but it's on Papago. Guess there's where the difference is. And I still find the poi search function in Papago is easier to use. Too bad for the lousy UI

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?
