If I buy this, can upgrade to Pro version later?

Also, how to update the map once installed?

I just bought the PRO version... menu a bit confusing (first time GPS user). Anyone know where I can download the user manual? Checked the Maction websites... cannot find it.

Just bought Papago Pro My/Sg a few days ago. Having used Sygic before, here's my 2cents :

1. Default map is Malfreemap dated 26/06/2009. I saw few junctions at my home are missing, so I updated the map to Malfreemap dated 30/12/2009.

2. Routing is excellent, as u can expect from a comprehensive map.

3. App is stable (so far). No crash when re-routing. Re-routing is slower than Sygic.

4. Junction view is excellent and beautiful.

5. POI search is fast, and it's a lot better than Sygic. Just key-in the POI name. Auto-complete is a welcomed feature.

6. Functionality-wise, Sygic is clear winner. Papago feels like Google Map + POI. Very basic. What I want to see in the next release would be :

a. Navigate to coordinate (key-in latitude and longitude)
b. Route summary map, which shows the overall route, distance, and estimated time
c. If GPS is offline, user can select any point on the map as starting point. This is useful for route planning

I believe a) and b) is available in Papago stand-alone GPS, I hope they will bring more features from their stand-alone GPS to Iphone app.

Yes, a, b and c are definitely a MUST for the next upgrade. Also a (d)...

d. Save preferred/actual route into favourites.

Let's hope Maction will put these in for the next map release... and hope it is soon... cos the current map is dated 26 June 2009.

Can someone please feedback to them directly? How to do that?

Hi I was wondering does papago allow you to set the location which you want to go by using coordinates? Because I plan to get it and use it to get to Cheras Pasar Malam which I never been there before. But I do have the coordinates.

Nope... not in this version. But you can just tap at the map to select the location you navigate to, or just search by POI or road name.
