Using tom tom v1.5 and papago M7.1.5. I can say papago has the better map, during navigation, papago map viewing is more pleasant. Also when searching for POI, it is easier with papago, whatever i type in, it can find, in fact, the POI list is more comprehensive such as nice places to eat etc.... even when travelling on highway.. it warns me of where the speed camera is.... only gripe is when i use it with all kit fm modulator, papago software will not transmit the voice over to my car speakers.

Tom Tom has better interface for sure. In fact, it even has the itunes control built into the navigation screen. Very nice touch. You can control your ipod to play songs, skip songs (that's it, you cannot actually browse your mp3 list, but it is good enough) while navigating. When you reach a junction, it will auto tune down the mp3 volume so that the voice navigation can be heard clearly. Very Very nice touch. But problem is the map is not as comprehensive as papago. When I try to key in search for places, i always have trouble finding places.... POI list is so much more less compared to papago. Best thing is, tom tom voice navigation system works through my fm modulator. Overall, the software of tom tom is much better written than papago.

My question is, is there anyway I can SSH into my phone and copy the MFM map into Tom Tom so that it can have the latest updated map in the better GPS user interface? If anyone has done that appreciate some pointers from you all.

I am a papago M7 user also, but I don't understand the point no. 4 you mentioned "allowed multi task". My papago cannot multi task. When i launch papago that is the only app running on screen. When calls come in, it will exit papago screen and then turn the screen to phone mode, or when I wanna play music, i need to go into ipod to play music, thus exiting papago screen. So how is papago multi task? Tom Tom on the other hand allows real multi tasking, you can answer calls and listen to phone without exiting the GPS screen. The software is very comprehensive written to include those features in the interface. But then again, I still use papago simply because it has the better map database.

One problem I have is when I connect my Iphone to my car auxiliary in port, the voice of papago is too soft. Any way to increase the volume of papago voice? I don't have this problem with tom tom or playing Ipod from my car audio system.

Exactly, I wish so much for that also. Best of both worlds.
