Hi all,

i just isntalled my papago and updated it with the latest maps from malfreemaps. everything is working superbly well!!

anyways, for those who need help on how to update the maps feel free to pm me or msn me (meng2108[at]hotmail[dot][com])

here are the steps that i used:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Courtesy of bro sfliu:

And heres the steps, and remember guys, "PLEASE BUY THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE" its only USD9.90 from itunes..support the developer and get the free update in future.

1. Of cource, buy Papago Taiwan from itunes and install into your iphone (it might take sometime to download, 465MB)
2. Download Papago Android X5 map (please dont ask me where to download)
3. Extract it, you will be able to see 28 files in total.
4. SSH your iphone (please google yourself to find out how to SSH into your iphone, I am using WinSCP, but you need wifi connection)
5. go to /private/var/mobile/Applications/C3C25D61-0DD8-4E90-8288-AC3E7A1A82CE/PAPAGO! Taiwan.app/Navi/Maps/TW (if you cant find the C3C25xxx folder, try open the rest one by one, im not sure whether the folder name will be the same or not)
6. Replace the Android X5 map with the files inside the folder, and remember, please change the Octal permission to 0755 for each file you replace (26 files).
7. Unplug your iphone sync cable, give your iphone a kiss, say thanks to malfreemaps & me

Courtesy of bro scaremonger:
rename MapAniPOI.psu -> MapAniPOI.psz
rename Papago.dbp -> papago.dbp
rename standard.mb6 -> Standard.mb6

Sorry.. I bought the app. And update the maps to ver 100203.. However, i have a problem here.. how to use the app? I click on Road search.. But, i can't key in the complete address here.. And when i click on search.. nothing happend.. Pls advice.. TQ
*
follow the steps that i have posted. you need to edit 3 files because when you install the ver 100203 maps, it's actually for android.

so you need to rename 3 file names. i've posted the detailed steps already.

Here is the problem i got.. First, it able to LOCK the satellite location.. But, i am not able to do NAVIGATION.. When i click on SEACH location.. I try to type in address. And i notice that i am not able to type in a FULL address.. Then, i just type in Jalan Miami Green & click search.. This is what i am getting..Then, how to do navigation? pls advice..Tq
*
yes, i also cannot type the full address. so i just search by road name. cannot put like the house number or lot number.

once you're in that screen, just click on that road and then on the next screen, click on a Go! button and it will automatically start the routing.

Doing the rename of

rename MapAniPOI.psu -> MapAniPOI.psz
rename Papago.dbp -> papago.dbp
rename standard.mb6 -> Standard.mb6

I am not using the Taiwan ver.. Not sure is it the same..

Added on February 9, 2010, 3:32 pmOk.. Done.. How to use it for NAVIGATION.. I launch the app. Click the ROAD SEARCH. I which to key in the address such as 199, Jalan PP19/19 Taman. Then, i am stuck.. No more space for entering the address. Like that how to Navigate? If i continue with Search. The from the top it return result Matched 199, Jalan PP19/19, Taman.. And the click is light blue in color.. Tat is all.. I can only click BACK button..

doesn't matter if yours is taiwan, my/sg, bangla, or china version. you still need to rename the file because .psu if im not mistaken it is for Android, hence you need to change it to .psz which is ppg format. as for the papago.dbp and standard.mb6, it's just about the caps and no caps because Unix base OS is case sensitive.

just wanna to add.. BTW i'm on non JB so don't know whether this will make any difference.

I only changed the .psu to .psz because the original iphone papago's version is in .psz version.

I dont change the caps on .dbp etc and it still works fine.

BTW don't think .psu for android solely because windows mobile version also .psu
*
cool, as long as it's working right? smile.gif but if you face any probs, then you should try renaming the .dbp and .mb6 files.

anyways i dunno if .psu is solely for android or not, but i do know that it's not for iPhone. so yeah, you gotta rename the .psu to .psz for sure.

You don't really need to j-break you phone to copy the files into your iphone. You can use third party software that allow copying files into your iphone. Or you can use dropbox. Drop the files into your dropbox from PC and then from iphone, you should be able to see the files. Sorry dropbox won' t can't download files.

As for copying the files, go to malfreemaps website and download latest file for M6 or android X5. It is an exe file. Run the file in you windows and it will ask you which format you want to install the maps. Choose Android X5 and the installer will copy the maps into your PC. After that, copy the files into your iphone.
These steps is for SSH users. But you can follow step 5,6,7 to know where to copy the files and which files to rename.

The Part 2 is for renaming the files.

Another potential problem is moving those files and renaming them. I am not sure how you are going to do it without SSH. But I am sure there are tools to do that wihout JB SSH.
*
for those who cannot SSH. i guess you'll have to rename the files before you drop the files into the iPhone.

whats the best option for the route settings? the other day i realised PAPAGO asked me to use a road much further and also directed me to go below the fly-over instead of going over the fly-over.

Get yourself a Garmin and don't waste any money on iPhone GPS apps. It is slow to acquire a satellite and recalculating. The worse part is, none of the apps has a good Malaysia map.

Now, if the malsing guys put up an iPhone GPS apps with their maps, I will buy it.

MSM is a joke....

MFM maps are so much better and the best part is, it's free.

you don't like the ssh way that i share? sad.gif

Cool ! azim61,

i bought the papago M6 pro and use it without any issue at penang.

But couldnt find any 3D building at all althought i set the view to 3D.

my maps date is 100203 means 03 Feb 2010. and i saw MFM android X5 latest maps is 100304. Izzit once updated the latest maps , i will get the 3D building view and the junction view?

BTW,
for SSH transfer, should i rename those 3 files 1st then only replace the file in iphone or replace all file 1st(except MapAnilPOI.psu and R51_prp.kuf ) then only rename?)

Thanks
Danny
*
the 3D building and junction view depends on the map creators. in kl/pj there's quite a few junction view and 3d building view. so we just have to wait for MFM and see how much of these they put into the map.

as to your question on whether to rename before replacing or rename after transferring. both ways will work fine. the ultimate goal is to have the correct file name.

google map is not a turn by turn GPS navigation software. you can't compare it to tomtom, papago etc.

anyways, tom tom's map for malaysia is shite!

you shud try papago with MFM maps and you'll be amazed.
