Sorry to all taikors with my innane question but iphone 3gs has integrated GPS function right? i am very close to making a decision to buying the 16gb and want to know if i can use free voice navigation on the papago.

Thanks to all taikors in advance.

Ok thanks, i am looking for the GPS as a tool which might come in handy (hence secondary) on emergencies. Of coz nothing beats the standalone GPS devices.

I am still unsure how to update the latest map without JB the phone.

Anyone can offer any help??

Been reading earlier posts and it seems only way for non JB phone is to wait for updates via itunes?

Downloaded papago pro and yup, using mfm map dated middle of last year

Thanks for the feedback bro, i am not going to JB my phone for now.. will wait for the next map updated via itunes

Took the papago pro for a spin and the navigation was ok but certain parts the processing was a bit slow but overall, it is more than i can ask for seeing that other GPS apps offer very outdated maps

As the tom tom vs papago dedate goes on, i was standing outside my home after dinner and switched on gps and papago and tried to lock onto my location as my map was showing a different location.

I actually stood outside for 20 minutes under a clear blue sky and i never got a satellite lock. Amazing. I think if i stood outside for another ten minutes i might not still get a lock and my battery would be running out of juice.

Is the Iphone integrated GPS really this poor?

I have papago pro but still not sure how to get junction view.

And can update map without JB? have been looking around and still not sure how to

i see, nothing to do la with the split view option in the settings. I guess i have not used it in big city yet.

Thanks for the explanation. Much appreciated

Used papago this morning and I loved the junction view function. Brilliant. I'm now convinced buying the pro was a good decision.

signal was ok but got some lag lah... probably around two seconds or so, i used it from serdang rest area to jalan kuchai lama... was accurate all the way and signal was good BUT...

here's my observation, when the phone heats up, charging stops and hence i wont recommend usage of papago on our iphones for an extended period of time, one is the phone will be bloody hot and battery will run out as charging will stop when it gets hot.

anyone got any ideas to solve this? hold the phone in one hand against the air-cond vent? hahaha, might work but dangerous while driving

True, I guess Papago does not show signal bar unless I'm wrong. But signal lock was fast for me and never had problem with lost signal even driving under flyovers.

Still trying to figure out a way to solve this overheating charging problem.

Hahaha, i did off all wifi, bluetooth, 3G and set brightness as lowest as possible. If off everything else, can off the phone already hahaha

yo bro, welcome to the iphone club

i would recommend papago pro M6.. uses malfreemaps, available for purchase via itunes

Yes! Been waiting for this update, thanks for the notice zad

Latest malfreemaps dated 3rd Feb 2010, Papago version M6.2 all good

My only qualm about papago is still cannot insert coordinates and cannot control the navigation audio volume.. hope the designers will do something about this in their next update

True enough, the GPS in iphone can't be used for long as when it gets hot, iphone will automatically stop charging in order to cool down, so a piece of advice to papago users, always ensure yr iphone is fully charged and only start using when u really need it.

A stand alone Garmin device is of coz anytime more reliable like what kc3832 said. But the papago is good to have for short distances and not bad as a back up in the event of emergencies.

Aiseh, i thought got new map update.. so means version 6.3 is not worth to download?

Just updated papago m6.3, got updated map la, new update has 4th march 2010 malfreemaps

Just tried it this morning on my way to work, personally the new update is ok for me, the slight lag is not really an issue and the navigation works fine. Signal lock was within 5 seconds under a very cloudy sky.

As whether got bug or not, i m not sure but the fellas at maction will do something about it if there is. Meanwhile, ppg is ok for me.

Bro, read la this thread, got some taikors here already stated how to update maps for papago but for your convenience, JB your Iphone or read this post Page 19 only... just backtrack a bit...post by azim61

If u not JB your iphone, then wait for updates via itunes.. free and easy
