Added on March 17, 2010, 9:47 pmyea....the maps works for papago!

thanks to those that contribute here

btw, it seems take quite long for the gps to locate me, around 3 to 5 minutes.....

and its laggy too, maybe coz i am using 3g, not 3gs

but the POI is really amazing, even for a small town like where i am!

just asking....are u testing it inside your house? @@

lifetime....again, your are buying the MAP and software, you are not buying the gps hardware and reception

Never heard before but since it's using gps, of coz its Gona drain battery alot. But seems really cool eh

yes, you are correct regarding about that GPS can be use while offline, and GPS is useless without maps. even when using google maps without data, it will still locate where are you, and when you move, the blue dot will be moving. Just that like you say, without the map, its useless because you can only see the blue dot moving with a grid background

anyway, i found it really really really hard to believe that housing estate that has been in existence for past 20 years that is still not being shown on Malfreemaps. may i know around which area it is?

it would be interesting to let the malfree/malsing community know about it

anyway, to me, GPS is not only about maps. it's also about the POI. reasons why i love malfree and malsing so much is because of their POI, even in small places, there are so many POI of finding food petrol stations and such. hence, google maps is irrelevant to me even if they got offline maps inside the iphone. even if apple design their own GPS software with build in maps, it will be useless too since i really doubt it will be better than malfree/malsing since the ppl working on it are malaysians.

PS: if can like papago, integrated with malfree/malsing then it's diff story

maps is as important as the system(or app or software or whatever you called)on a phone

and since you need to pay for the system...so well...

short answer NO.

you can try as so

1) take out sim card, off wifi.
2) open google map
3) drive around and you will see the blue dot moving as you drive. But since no data and no offline map built into it, you can only see the dot moving in a blank space

it's my personal experience lol.

when i first get the iphone3g, since i was also always wondering how gps works in the past


i am driving at NKVE, driving around 60kmh or so, and it's locked under 1 minute


it just shows how GPS works, which means no need data, it will still show where's ur location are, nothing else

victorian asked about how gps works and does it need data or not....so i still don't get whats your point is now
