Garmin and Papago are quite famous software for GPS in Malaysia. Thus, I was wondering which brand is the best?

In Malaysia, the question is not really on the navigation softwares but the maps details, no of POIs & ability to search POIs..

Well since papago & Garmin are the two platforms used by the free mapping communities, both also good dy...

There are supporter for both too...

Only those softwares that do not have the support from the free mapping communities are those not selling well here..

& some that I have seen actually look nicer than Garmin/papago 9Such as Igo) but due to lack of detail maps..a good software is also useless..another example..Nokia ovimaps..good softaware but no support from those free mapping communities

haha i agree with u...currently using papago...garmin is nice but somehow the map is black...it made the road looks kinda ugly...>.<"

Huh when garmin maps is black? what version of malfreemaps are you using? wth all the colorfull polygon u still see black background?

i using the latest one wor..background is black..why ah?..

where should i have garmin for mobile?

Probably u swith on at nite so some background really black because empty polygon Night mode mah..otherwise something wrong wth your set liao

yeah i think papago will be a good choice too........anyways it works on my iphone........garmin somehow usually have better reception dunno why even on mobile.

i just got chance to use both garmin and papago last raya....
this is what i can conclude:

GUI - Garmin
Screen sensetivity + ease - Garmin
Map detail - Papago (papago will detail the gas station with exact icon such as petronas, shell etc, / same goes to church, mosque and temple. Garmin just show church as icon for holy place )
Road suggest - Papago (i run same destination, seem that papago show the most recommended road.. )
Price / practical - Papago

Hi.. How about satellite reception?

I am currently using a garmin gps and most of the time it takes like 3 - 5minutes to capture the satellite reception which is pretty long in my opinion.

My friend told me Papago reception is super fast

Can someone verify on this issue?

THanks
