i finally bought Sygic Singapore & Malaysia after deliberating for about a day.

For the current price [USD12.99] and the UI + map; i think Sygic is a good enough GPS app for a secondary irregular driver like myself la.

My advice if you're still undecided on which one to buy? Try and test/use the apps on the road yourself.

Tomtom is all-right. I particularly like their user friendly UI, but all in all too expensive for my needs.

For Papago M8, no matter how good the map is; I can't get over how horrible their navi voice for malay language is. Like super seriously horrible, to the point of it being unusable. [to me at least]

I experimented with Sygic/Mobile Maps, Tomtom and Papago M8 for about a week in KL and S'gor [KLCC,Bangsar Village, Sunway, Shah Alam, Subang, and Sg Buloh]. I keep coming back to using Sygic, and when priced at USD 13, it's an easy enough decision for me. This is just my thoughts though, as everybody else is content with Papago.

and @uncontrolled - of course la you've to turn on the location service!

What do you mean by you're doing what wrongly? It's up to you to buy the SEA one. I rarely do road trips outside M'sia, that's why Msia and Spore's enough for me.

When I tried/compared Sygic Msia & S'pore and Sygic SEA - their UI is hugely different, and I kinda hated the SEA's version. That's also one of the reasons why I opted for the former. The SEA's version is not user friendly, with the keyboard being the thing I hate most. I can't imagine typing to find something on the go with that. Then again, this is only my opinion.

I don't know about the inapp purchase, as it costs a bomb for each. it's up to you really, but the 3D buildings are kinda limited to major city like KL and Spore [don't know bout the rest of SEA] so I won't suggest you to buy that. City guide is quite nifty though, although only limited to JB, KL, Langkawi, Malacca and Penang in Malaysia. You might wanna get that if you want, but it's still expensive at USD4.99 actually. I'm a bit stingy, so if you ask me; I'll buy neither 

lol. Good for you.

Also, same reason why I bought it yesterday too, and why I said no to Papago; the graphics really is bad!

@gogo2, true.
that's a plus if it's true. but i'd bet that it'd be pretty tedious even if it can be done. 

Hi, am using papago msia & sgpore. Seems i cannot start it. Anybody care 2 guide me on using it.?
