Test drove Papago on an iPhone 3g with ios4. I have to say that it is not really usable as the map draw rate can be slow at times. Half the time the arrow would be moving on empty ground. It would sometimes hang and skip a few metres and also take a while before recalculating a route after a wrong turn has been made.

Of course POIs on the other hand are the best around.

So no UI lagginess whatsoever?
Also, does your tracked position come up to be accurate to your actual position?

Diff ppl may have diff experiences..

I used Papago before..

1. Usually take very long to lock down the GPS signal.. Even it's locked, when drive through trees, buildings, it will lag and cant show the accurate position..

2. The user interface is too laggy.. will crash if u press too fast on searching.. lol

3. Currently MFM latest map does not support iPhone yet and hence need to wait few more weeks or months for them to support iPhone version..

4. Battery drained too fast.. if u use GPS, call, SMS, u wont last for a day..

So conclusion is.. When u get into ur car, start Papago, start engine, the signal is still not locked.. then how? U wanna sit there and wait for the signal to lock only drive?

Or u wanna drive a while then when signal locked then stop at road side then only search?

I seldom use Papago nowadays since the speed is main prob for me.. I would buy a dedicated GPS unit if i really need the routing..

Iphone 3G Iphone OS 3.1.2 non-JB

just to tell you i own a Papago R5800 for 1 yr+ already... if you say the coordinates locking is slow then pls prepare to face that problem as all GPS unit are slow too it takes up to 5~10 minutes depends on the sky clearance (cloudy or clear or raining) and also ur system (suspended ur system, after restart it search ur current position faster than overall shutdown)... all others Garmin or China branded also same also and it's battery will not last more than 4 hours if intensive use (drive in city and urban got different result as city more turn to turn guide and urban more straight forward)...
I had used GPS inside SG town area (cloudy during that time) where all the tall buildings around u, the signal is weak and it can't give you an exact location... so do not expect magic also if you are using dedicated system

A wild assumption here but it seems those with iPhone 3G will have all sort of problems with PPG.

I'm on 3Gs, and doesn't even need more than 5 seconds to get a lock.

Hardware compatibility and capability play their role as well. It does lag at times but not to the point of unusable.

Point no 3 is misleading. MfM does not publish Papago maps for quite sometime to all devices including android, symbian etc and not limited to iPhone alone. They have some workforce issue and afterall is a volunteer work, complaint is pointless here.

For other points, I don't have a 3G so can't make a conclusion but with 3Gs, no real problem.

i am using 6.4 version

any map update to download?

so it will auto update once sync to itunes??

v6.5 is feature which version of Map?

Hi, is Papago M6 require any data usage? Or it just use GPS only?
Coz i scare end of this month my bill gonna explode. haha

first time using papago m6 using my iphone 3gs..not bad..take around less a minute to cature signal..

not gonna charge u anything since its using its own gps chip on the iphone plus the nav sat which is free to use and the maps are preinstalled on the app..

so u will not be charge.. unless u use the google maps where it will download data for the maps.. therefore you will be charged..

If I install Papago in my iphone 3G... Will it lag? Cause im scared iphone 3G quite outdated in terms of hardware and maybe the new version of papago is far more resource hogger...
