QUOTE(ryan_giggs @ Jan 28 2010, 03:37 PM) I installed Papago yesterday it's look great! First time GPS user and amazed....quality is good as the one i used the GPS in USA previously.... But bad things happen today - when i start the application, after a while, the application will jump out back to iphone GUI!!  So, i reinstalled it from my itune and so far looks OK.....but question on papago: why the Papago POI seach input character is only limited to 23 alphanumeric characters ah? Is all GPS software POI seach is like that? Anyone can advise?  Another question i have is our iphone 3gs is A-GPS right?or GPS? If A-GPS, does it means it will use maxis 3G data to access the telco tower to detect our location? QUOTE(Acethriller @ Jan 28 2010, 05:39 PM) me too, just bought and installed, very good indeed, like the petrol station icons so unique. does it incur data charges coz when I on airplane mode, gps not working. if u r using iphone's native maps app to navigate, then yes, data charges apply..but if u r using these new gps apps like papago/sygic/tomtom etc, then u r nt using data u can turn on airplane mode n on location services manually n use da gps app |

QUOTE(aeronyc @ Jan 29 2010, 10:58 AM) just my views of papago (do note i'm a new GPS user ya... ) it wud be a really good idea to leave reviews on app store..especially for this app as it is a niche product for SG n MY only...pro 1. like the junction view, helps a lot, definitely worth the money 2. most updated map for iphone so far 3. voice command that can tell you 'turn left at the third junction', etc cons 1. feel like 'delay' for a few seconds, the phone show my location about 3 sec later... 2. can't link to contacts like google map do, ie save the location and tie to a contact in the phone 3. sometimes ask me to U-turn at junction that cannot u-turn - physically cannot... 4. junction at certain new highway quite confusing, believe is because map not updated (although these highway are build prior to jun 09) - hope the updated version will fix this overall, quite happy with it. hope it helps Added on January 29, 2010, 11:05 am why not leave a review at iTunes? or if you don't mind I can just copy and paste your comment on the product review. so those who r nt familiar with this forum wud also get a chance to read the review n who knows if Maction wud actually implement those suggestions..  write here |

QUOTE(jssl @ Feb 1 2010, 04:07 PM) @Killerfly thanks for the info bro..Lucky you, PAPAGO PRO just had a price drop from 29.99 to 19.99 http://appshopper.com/navigation/papago-si...re-malaysia-pro Cheers saw ur post n din wait any longer to get it.. downloading now and wud try out later today or tomolo.. I managed to sync my phone before I left my office, hence got to try the Papago or ppg as they call it..  I could just use the app for a short while..but for what it's worth, ppg does cover a whole lot more than my sygic...    both the SS are taken at the same location..sygic assumes im standing in the middle of nowhere as compared to ppg who knows exactly whr i am.. u mite wonder y sygic is showing blank.. well tat is coz currently i am in my hometown and its a small town which sygic's/tomtom's map provider cant update every now n then as they are based outside of the country.. ppg on the other hand uses mfm, which is updated n maintained well by our fellow malaysian.. this kinda problem shud nt affect users in big cities (Kl, SG) as they are updated regularly.. but what abt POIs? i cant get POIs for kl rite now, but below is the situation here..i searched for POIs nearby my loaction:       here, for ppg, all the POIs nearby are listed on one page..cud be a good thing maybe.. sygic puts them in categories and ask u to find wats nearby.. frm the ss above u can also see the difference between both the gui.. in a nutshell... map coverage- Papago has the edge because of the regularly updated MFM POIs- again same as above. GUI- sygic is surely miles ahead of ppg.. i'll get to use it more and add more input as n when i can.. hope this helps  This post has been edited by harmeet15: Feb 1 2010, 09:45 PM |
