But I guess every GPS application will heat up iPhone isn't it? Or tomtom heat up faster..

ya, I live in penang too, so far haven't purchase any iphone GPS app yet, anyone try sygic? does Sygic heat up iPhone fast too?

So far I read about, sygic have really good update, custom POI, updated map, and fast to launch application, just not really good UI, and doesn't support iphone gesture.

tomtom seem good use of iphone gesture, the UI seem very friendly and nice too~ but not really updated map and bad review from ilounge, however, this could be fix via update.

hmm.. so, how about Sygic?

Agree.. been using garmin mobile XT in s60 OS for quite a while d, garmin work like a charm.. especially the free map provide by the community of malsingmap in malaysia, very detail.

tomtom is nice, but I think Sygic really listen to their customer, and alway have updates, recently update to whole new application that have gesture feature, after complain from customer because of lack gesture

Definitely will be the most updated map of all other GPS app in Malaysia, anyone tried to use it already? UI and map drawing seem not pretty as compare to tomtom(especially the font), but I prefer more updated map than this, AND VERY CHEAP! (compare to tomtom and sygic), can anyone post up the review?

How is the GPS fix? does it work charm as tomtom?

Papago! Vs Tomtom

Papago Pros:
MOST UPDATED MAP IN MALAYSIA! (using mfm BEST! )
Junction View!

Tomtom Pros:
Nice map drawing and interface..

Bought PPG as well

the map very accurate, however, I have some problem the application will crash when click on the 'near POI' search. however, this fixed when I SSH and install the new updated map from mfm.

the UI is horrible~ lol.. the slide very slow, GPS lock okay, routing okay, map detail BEST!
even update till Kampar UTAR Block E also have the road in the map... lol..

Just choose between...
Cheap & MOST updated map (PPG)

or
very good Interface (tomtom, sygic)

.. if Sygic/tomtom use mfm, I sure purchase one of them xD

I bought it when it came out 29.90

anyway.. I prefer better and smooth UI first like tomtom/sygic, then it really perfect. because PPG UI really bad.. very lag

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

The only reason I still using Papago is because most updated map.. if sygic/tomtom use mfm map.. I sure change to either of these one

agree. Been using Papago 3GS for quite a while. No problem so far, lock quite fast, and most important of all, it does really good job for guiding me to my destination, the user interface should improve more.. tomtom UI is better, but Papago map is more detail..

tomtom using atlas map, Kampar for sure not update.

in Malaysia, KL is the most updated map in tomtom (correct me if I wrong)
KL and JB, still ok.

for updated map in Malaysia, Papago is the only choice =)
Since Papago didn't update for quite a while, mfm just recently release a new map update, so Papago will update soon!!
and the mod there said they will release map update each month, although not frequent as Garmin, but quite good already.

btw, I at kampar also now

3.Because of the accuracy of AGPS is not reliable enough, so Papago will not use AGPS signal.

tomtom v1.6 update Malaysia & singpore map, plus got map share feature, I'm not tomtom user, wanna ask how update tomtom map is compare to mfm, plus tomtom now on sale ><

I don't think can, since tomtom and papago use different map. Atlas and MFM, correct me if I'm wrong. Of course, I do like tomtom interface, can go in contact and look up your contact address and show their home location on map, a lot of features compared to papago, no lag and smooth interface. tomtom this worldwide international company, the apps also look better ><, it just like they paying much effort to create the apps. But when we navigate, we more focus on map detail, that why at last I still choose papago, no choice, since mfm provide best map coverage in Malaysia.. But I like the map drawing inside papago, better look, lol.

@Markyabello, if you purchased the apps using an apple ID, even it ask for payment detail and account info, just enter it for security reason. It won't charge you on same application under same apple ID for second time, appstore will tell you that you previously purchased the apps, click ok to download, that all. Can update via iTunes and iPhone, both are the same.

Papago M8 for taiwan look very good, don't know when it will comes to Malaysia & Singapore!

agree with u bro! will stick to papago! until garmin really do something with this

i think Papago! is the only choice for iPhone GPS navigation software in Malaysia. Because the only GPS with most updated Malaysia map on iPhone so far. tomtom, sygic offer better UI and more features, but the map not update. I think most GPS user focus more on map detail rather than the GUI interface.
