I would prefer Garmin to Papago, havent tried TomTom though..
I suggest u get the Lite version coz its cheaper (I bought Pro version, and are relatively regretting now

)
For Iphone 4 its using GPS (3GS using A-GPS) its free no 3G/data required.
No registration or map downloading needed, though if they decided to upload new map then entire app need to be downloaded again..
Just like Papago just release update today, and its 400mb size (compared b4 was 200mb)
The 3GS also using GPS+AGPS combo.

an advise for papago user.. do charge it the moment u start using.. especially when its in the afternoon hot sun.. phone tends to get very hot, and the charge wont pickup fast enuff than consuming. i have experince it so the moment i see it still doesnt charge up, i off the 3D navi sequence.
btw im using belkin micro adapter and 3GS. a trip to cameron and it serve me well.. try to put somewhere not directly under the windscreen/sunlight.. bcoz its super hot..
I'm using cgynett and somehow the rate of charging/consuming almost equal. The battery percentage does not change at all when using GPS. This is with 3GS though. I have yet to try with iP4

If u ask me, I rather their next update be a revamp of their entire interface. Atm it looks vry cheap and ugly.. And for them to fix those lag issues and accuracy as well! Hate it when at times it shows me jumping from the road to a field nxt to me, or on the other side of the road...
It's one of the earliest bug that I have reviewed in the AppStore as well. Lagginess that does not suit the capacitive screen.
In terms of the position lock, this is my theory. If one is to compare with GarminXT, they have what they call as "Show Location" function, can be found in the Map setting. There are two options, 1. On roads 2. At GPS location.
Those that pick "on roads", obviously will always see their car on the road, no matter how fluctuates the GPS signal is. If they choose the other one, it will show the most accurate GPS position at the moment and hence will show you out of the road position.
My point is, GPS signal is fluctuating depending on your location. Garmin has solved this issue by giving you the function stated so it will looks better on the map eventhough actually the GPS locked you adjacent to the road.
P/S: those claiming slow GPS lock, could you please inform us whether your AGPS aka Location Services is on or not?
