Hi All,
Is it that every android phone such as (Legend, Milestone, Desire...) come with GPS support? Can I use the GPS without installing any third party application? How would the GPS software from HTC Legend differs from Motorola Milestone? Are the maps complete for Malaysia?
In order to use the GPS system, do I need to have 3G on?
Thank You

if u use googlemap then u need to have data transfer. on android phones such as legend, u can install papago with maps. thus no need data transfer.

Maps and navigation 2 diff things. Depends on what u want, if maps, dont even need gps for that, maps are just still images for u to see. Navigation on the other hand, requires maps combined with gps so u can view where u are in REAL TIME, most gps app have routing/voice navigation means u can key in where u wanna go then ur gps device will show u the way. Google maps needs data to get maps, gps to lock where u are. But google maps doest provide turn by turn navigation, means no voice guidance while u are driving.conclusion, with wifi/3g u can see maps, but google maps wont show u where u are, thaths where gps comes in, hope u understand

Officially only for Moto Milestone, but someone took the .apk from the Milestone and changed the reso for it to support the other Android devices. Maps I got it from a friend who has Milestone. Its technically not the legal version, but I have been testing it out so far no bugs. Will not mind getting it once its available for purchase. MFM has a discussion topic on the maps for iGO though. Take your time and read them. Papago will be releasing for 2.1 if I am not mistaken.

Sometimes I can access, but always can't do POI or Road search. Read somewhere that it might be the old map. So, I've uploaded the new map and now I'm having the same problem as you do. :-(

I am also seriously very sick of when papago will be releasing for newer android platform. if there is any other good gps software available i will just get it instead of papago.
