garmin simply is good because of malfreemap, same goes to papago
if the iphone version using different map format than the normal mobile xt and malfreemap team is not developing any map for it, pretty pointless i must say |

QUOTE(weichieh007 @ Oct 31 2010, 10:49 PM) I just tested the Papago M7 pro and noticed a few bugs. During my first navigation, it suddenly exit from the program to ios4 home without any incoming call, sms or push notification. I dunno whether it's the iPhone or the GPS problem. Then I tried to switch off 3G, the problem seems to be solved. I experienced the same thing as well Another thing is, when it shows the photo of a intersection on the left side of the screen (which was very nice BTW), the rest of the 3D map just sort of disappear and reappear after I pass the intersection. Is this suppose to be like this?   I guess it is the map problem, lets see future map solve this problem or not~ |

QUOTE(outdoorxplorer @ Nov 7 2010, 07:54 AM) I never believe using a phone as an GPS alternative... Get a get proper GPS unit of any brands to conserve the battery for phone functions and services. Its true, however for people who does not use it everyday, it is not a necessity to get one. GPS is so affordable nowadays and it is no longer a luxury to have an unit stuck to the windshield. I believe most of the people here use it probably once a week or lesser than that, having GPS on phone does come in handy when we need it. |
