If I use Garmin device then no problem. i think it's bcoz garmin is dedicated for using GPS iphone is not the GPS chip i think is different

Of cource, buy Papago SGMY from itunes and install into your iphone (it might take sometime to download, 100++MB) 2. Download Papago Android X5 map (please dont ask me where to download) 3. Extract it, you will be able to see 28 files in total. 4. SSH your iphone (please google yourself to find out how to SSH into your iphone, I am using WinSCP, but you need wifi connection) 5. go to /private/var/mobile/Applications/2B46D4F5-1A4D-457D-B5F4-AFF39624AA43/PPG!SGMYPRO.app/Navi/Maps/MFM (if you cant find the C3C25xxx folder, try open the rest one by one, im not sure whether the folder name will be the same or not) 6. Replace the Android X5 map with the files inside the folder, EXCEPT MapAniPOI.psu (I think this is the file where make the icon gone all wrong) & R51_prp.kuf (if you replace this file, you will NOT able to see the "??"), and remember, please change the Octal permission to 0755 for each file you replace (26 files). 7. Unplug your iphone sync cable, give your iphone a kiss, say thanks to malfreemaps & me Doing the rename of rename MapAniPOI.psu -> MapAniPOI.psz rename Papago.dbp -> papago.dbp rename standard.mb6 -> Standard.mb6 if u use .ipa style use this » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Your downloaded .ipa file is a container like zip/rar file. Download winrar and open (not extract) the ipa file and you will see folders inside. From there replace all necessary files in the MFM folder.

Replace the Android X5 map with the files inside the folder Doing the rename of rename MapAniPOI.psu -> MapAniPOI.psz rename Papago.dbp -> papago.dbp rename standard.mb6 -> Standard.mb6 After that just install the .ipa file and you will get the latest map. i recommend using the .ipa style credit to the person who wrote that tutorial This post has been edited by azim61: Mar 8 2010, 10:58 PM

But couldnt find any 3D building at all althought i set the view to 3D. my maps date is 100203 means 03 Feb 2010. and i saw MFM android X5 latest maps is 100304. Izzit once updated the latest maps , i will get the 3D building view and the junction view? BTW, for SSH transfer, should i rename those 3 files 1st then only replace the file in iphone or replace all file 1st(except MapAnilPOI.psu and R51_prp.kuf ) then only rename?) Thanks Danny congratz update to latest map bro for me i usually rename those 3 files first QUOTE(red-queen @ Mar 10 2010, 04:53 PM) you don't like the ssh way that i share? the 3D building and junction view depends on the map creators. in kl/pj there's quite a few junction view and 3d building view. so we just have to wait for MFM and see how much of these they put into the map. as to your question on whether to rename before replacing or rename after transferring. both ways will work fine. the ultimate goal is to have the correct file name. aik no la bro it just me that i like .ipa style better it depends

Added on March 15, 2010, 8:54 am At places where satellite signal is weak, such inaccuracy do happens. Even other gps phone with other software as well. Though I do notice, iphone GPS is more frequent in such problem. That being said, it happens only for a second or two but that will resume back on routing and I have never ever need to restart the app k thx for the info

Casual Junior Member 480 posts Joined: Jan 2007	QUOTE(nyanko @ Mar 28 2010, 01:17 PM) Hi. I have a few questions regarding GPS apps on Iphone 3GS. 1. When GPS is navigating, when a call comes in, can I pick up the call, and when hang up resume back to the GPS navigation? 2.When the GPS app is on, can i go and make a phone call and back to the app? 3. If an sms comes in when GPS is navigating, can i goto check the sms and come back to continue the navigation? Cos as i have played around with some games on iphone, it doesn't seem to allow multitasking. It seems if i go do something else, then I'll have to start over again with the app i open... Thank you in advance for your feedback. Cheers. yes iphone does not allow multitasking if u want, u have to jailbreak or JB ur iphone and install some app to be able to do that for ur question, im not sure
