Hi, is Papago M6 require any data usage? Or it just use GPS only?
Coz i scare end of this month my bill gonna explode. haha

not gonna charge u anything since its using its own gps chip on the iphone plus the nav sat which is free to use and the maps are preinstalled on the app..

so u will not be charge.. unless u use the google maps where it will download data for the maps.. therefore you will be charged..

never been using it for real before this.. not until i went to melaka.. it guides me perfectly.. makes me looked like a local there.. hehe.. take turn with confidence of not getting lost in the favorite 'one way system' especially near the jonkers walk.. damn annoying ..

why my PAPAGO in my iphone 3GS (OS4.0.1) unable to lock my currect location? for example, when i am in Shah Alam, the current location still showing me I am at Sungai Wang, it is not moving also when my car is moving too.  shakehead.gif

can anyone assist me?

Thank you very much.

try making sure the your location locked first then you can drive.. i dunno.. for me.. even when im driving.. it locks my position without any problem.. takes some time though.. maybe the environment around you makes it harder to lock out your position.. tall buildings perhaps?

Just got Papago. Is it possible to map out a route from a POI to another? I tried routing but keep getting it to route from my current location to whatever POI I choose, no matter if I choose set that POI as starting point or destination.

Sorry yeah, new to GPS.

Never tried it before.. but why do you want to do it anyway? huhu

got update already?.. gonna check em up.. hehe

about going through tunnel.. is it the iphone or the apps using the a-gps system..

meaning the a-gps is a hardware or software feature?

becoz if your going into a tunnel, it will utilise the a-gps signal.. where they triangulate you from the cell tower..

Yup using pro version. Junction view is the nice little picture that shows the road split right? That's a really nice feature :-D but sometimes eye not concentrating on the iPhone, didn't buy dock. Haha.

I see. But I did notice the battery definitely drained slower with the charger. But yeah, the iPhone gets reaaaally hot!

You should try on the GPS on a car kit.. it makes the experience much more better.. thumbup.gif

Darn i paid for the Papago SG/MY and it sux... Garmin rocks alot than Papago.
*
it all depends on the user preference/taste.. some of em' like the papago style of navigation.. while most of the ex garmin user will prefer the garmin over papago..

Maybe because they r used the the garmin interface.. thats why they think papago sucks.. well.. for me personally.. i've used both of em.. but i like papago better than garmin..

and yup.. ur using the lite or the pro version.. some of the feature in pro doesnt included in the lite version..

another tip i do when i want to get a fast lock is:

1. I open google maps till i get a signal lock of my position

2. I open ppg.. it should lock u right away..

Hope this helps to those suffers slow position lock..

Junction view will literally show u the junction and where to go( follow the junction or stay in the right lane)

The lite n pro differences i think only junction view (looks cool) n 3d buildings in certain area ( which is useless in my oppinion ).

Just buy the lite version.. As long as it can guide u to ur destination it would be more than enough rite? smile.gif
