Go Waze!

But it doesnt recoqnize roundabout. i passed through Bayan big roundabout for few times already, the voice doesnt say "enter roundabout, take the 3rd exit" like garmin mobile XT, instead it just said "keep left".

And when you lost or missed a turn, waze doesnt warn you like "recalculation" but just "beep" instead and giving you the next direction.

Hiyo so many people voted PPG, dunno should i spend RM62 + JB + other hassles to get it to work, or should i just use Waze for now until Garmin comes into Apps Store?

Im so familiar with GMXT for years already.

JB for what? pair with external GPS? don't discuss JB here

Wait for Garmin then. Waze is good only for traffic status while Trapster for police presence.

But both are not good enough as a full fledged nav app

I thought u need to JB your set to update maps? No?

Anyway Waze is full of rubbish, especially when you can see cupcakes and candies all over your map which are not POI for cake shop but for you to collect points. rclxm9.gif

Google Maps already out. But have to login using iTunes US account to download.

I'm using Waze (traffic condition) and Papago (POI search).

Not sure got voice or not, but this is the routing from my iPhone 5.

[attachmentid=3310502]
On Itune Store, Google maps description clearly state

"Get voice guided, turn-by-turn driving directions." Source: https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/google-maps/id585027354?mt=8

but in real thing no voice whatsoever.

I use Papago and Waze normally. Never use google map for routing, except to check map areas only.
Waze is ok , a bit annoying at times with its notification and point collecting things.

Papago interface on Iphone 5 really like crap i m about to delete this.

Wonder if i should buy USD$29 sygic (SG and MY).

Voice is not available in our country, though we can't install Google Maps if we using Malaysia as country in AppStore.

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.
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.
