Just tried Waze when I'm on the way back home. Looks good for a free GPS indeed

QUOTE(jackyyong @ Feb 10 2012, 09:55 AM) From my experience, Waze uses very minimal data. On my recent trip back to hometown, I turned on Waze all through the trip to check whether there is any traffic jam in the highways. By the end of the trip (about 1.5 hours), I used barely 5 MB of data. If you can afford 5 MB of data, Waze is a great tool to use!! The Streetpilot similar to MobileXT? I'm kinda interested w/ it I also recently installed Garmin Streetpilot, the US version. This is the "map-on-board" version. You can actually download the Malaysia map into it using iExplorer or other file viewer. I prefer the Garmin map compared to the Papago version. So in this poll, I'll vote for "Other - Garmin Streetpilot" |

QUOTE(jackyyong @ Feb 11 2012, 07:12 AM) Yes, very similar indeed. I used to have a Nokia 5800 XM, so I can compare between the two. Initially when I bought my iPhone, I was very reluctant because the best thing about the Nokia 5800 was the Garmin MobileXT. At that time, there was no GPS that was comparable to it on the iOS platform. Now that I found out about this, I finally feel my migration to iOS is justified. Please share and distribute the news! I saw two versions. One is onDemand and one is the normal streetpilot. Any differences between these two?I saw the price has increased from 39.99 to 59.99 This post has been edited by XiuKeong: Feb 11 2012, 01:42 PM |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Mar 5 2012, 03:02 PM) Follow the steps shared above (or several previous posts in this thread). You need to set the file permission inside iPhone also. The POI have to put inside the application file > library > sdcard > garmin > POI(create new folder)I have no problem using it and navigation. However, now searching which folder to put those Custom POI in iPhone. |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Mar 5 2012, 03:16 PM) My latest folder is as you mention. So far I'm testing, no alert yet on those pasar malam, road block, speed reminder, ... Not sure about the sound and mp3 but mine got speed reminder. Road block all haven't test yetI put both GMXT (no sound) and MP3 POI inside that folder. |

QUOTE(hackwire @ Jun 4 2012, 03:53 PM) Thanks xiukeong. I suffered the same POI issue as you. I used Garmin USA before and change the map to MFM. Yes, I can search for the POIs. Not sure about Garmin SG/MY, haven't use it yet.ok the reason i want to download Garmin is because i have difficulty using Sygic apps to locate a simple landmark such as Paradigm Mall . In sygic, it doesn't even show kelana jaya . So how can i go to Paradigm Mall using gps ? another landmark is Subang Parade and Sygic doesn't have that landmark in it's POI . so i was dissapointed a bit with Sygic. May i know if anyone who own Garmin able to confirm whether these 2 landmark is available in Garmin otherwise i just stick back with Sygic app and save the money for another day. thanks. |

QUOTE(chrono7 @ Jun 8 2012, 05:18 PM) I bought the garmin app using US account but not directly search in itunes So the update will be from US store instead of MY?My method: 1. Log in US account in itunes. 2. Google for "garmin sg/my itunes" in web browser to bring up the link that leads you to the garmin app web page that is similiar in itunes. Alternative, use this URL : http://itunes.apple.com/my/app/garmin-sg-my/id504487726?mt=8 3. Click "View in itunes" and the browser will prompt you to open in itunes if you have itunes installed. 4. Make sure you check that you are in your US account. 5. Purchase the app and profit I did this a few days ago. EDIT: Before I forget, I bought it with promo price $19.99. |
