I was just asking if there is google voice navigation for Malaysia for IOS (US Apps Store, Cydia and whatnot) like in Android phone (yes been using it for a year to navigate in Malaysia with Google Map without even to root the phone).

No please dont tell me to lodge report to apple or sell my iphone 5 or buy android phone if you dont know or dont have answer for that question. Changing Itunes store from MY to US  and vice versa is simply toggle the country button in itunes. So no big deal.

Google Nav voice is also not available on Andoid phone in Malaysia.

Only the ones listed on their supported countries are able to do so.

The search places & road mostly questionable. Based on my exp only, not sure bout others...

Based on my ocassional use of GPS only for some unfamiliar shop names in Ipoh (at least for me), both Google Maps and Apple Maps are crap. The pins pointed locations that's far away from what they should have.

But at least both are still good at locating with street names, of which is still pretty usable.

Btw Sygic just got updated. Seems like adding some feature, mapping data is still much the same.

Another smarties reply without reading my post properly. How many times i want to post that Google map voice navigation works in malaysia and ive been using it. The tweak available all over the net. Simpler than to jailbreak your iphone coz this one you dont even have to root your android phone.

So the reason why i chose google map for android phone last time becoz it worked with Google Voice just like Siri with Apple map.

Now since Google Voice is enabled in JB'ed Iphone, it will be nice if any tweaker in Cydia to apply the similar tweak to Google maps so we can use Google Voice to turn by turn voice navigation in Malaysia.

Zaid Erkurdi in Cydia has tweaked few Siri default services like play music from grooveshark instead of itunes, search local concert  and event in malaysia for example. It will be good if he could tweak siri to find location and voice navigate using waze instead of Apple map. So everyone will be happy.

Cool bro. No need to sound so hostile there.

The thing is, even Turn-by-turn can't be used here.

tbh, previously I've even tried to find tweak to enable Gmaps TBT locally, but then there's none. So the answer is no. Comparison with GVoice as for now can be seem rather a stretch since it has been in the AppStore for a very long time.

And I'd like to add, you can actually use Siri on Google Maps, even without JB (albeit the method is not really elegant), but still it's exclusive to the supported country for Nav in the first place.

Ok, maybe you see my lines up there to be unproductive to you, but then so does yours.

Have a nice day.
