yup...
i can verify that....
sometimes it need more that single reroute compare with papago, but that was maybe for several location....
as far as i tried, with same location, garmin a bit slow la to capture the reception....

Seems like papago is the better GPS device so far, but i thought papago is new and garmin is very establised. Hmm, looking to buy one real soon. Any other points? I will be happy if i get to know pricing too

how to use garmin mobile gps to ask me turn left right when driving?

wow...kinda interested to papago rite now..huu
is there any suggestion what type of GPS that i can buy and have the lowest price..how much?tq~

just set your desired destination/route & it'll guide you left right up down forward automatically

papago is free or need to pay
can n85 use it ?

price a bit subjective....
but you can do this comparative..
in order to get a gps with 3d imege inside such as buiding:
Garmin new model cost around RM1K++, other brand only RM700++

i suggest find gps with large screen...
but be aware that the battery wont last long...

here come Garmin advantage, garmin can operate more that 2 hour with full setting..
but u use in car right, just plug the charger...
heh...

I'm using Garmin. Can assure you won't regret one

I m using Garmin Asus M10 handset. I feel it is the best handphone with GPS. It oni take 1-3 second outdoor n <10 seconds indoor with window nearby to get satellite signal lock.

Satellite reception is super important for navigation. I havent tried papago but i had seen my friends GPS bay (so-called professional M'sian GPS device), nokia, Htc etc, all cant even get any satellite signal indoor evenif windows are nearby. In outdoor opened air, it took them 3-5 min and worst still, during navigation, these devices lost the signal and navigation just halted.

Routing is also another issue and the voice prompting. Pointing you to the wrong way, never inform you before a turn and voicing out when you are driving >100KM/h and just 100m away from the turn (you need to beat Michael 'Shoemaker' in order to be able to make the turn) ... XD ... these are what my frens' cursing experiences with garbish navi devices.

These problems never happen to M10 and M10 is built based on garmin navi devices. I don't know what garmin has done. Beside strong sat reception, the ability to calculate position when there r plenty of high rise buildings around, i also notice that i m prompted to update "satellite information" through net by the garmin devices. I believe these are their secrets.

Btw, if you 12 get a good navi device with no hassel, get the good, internationally well-known product like garmin, tomtom and magellan. You prefer to pay a little bt more for premium quality or you enjoy cursing around while using navi devices? Your choice

GPS bay, papago, mamadrive etc ... ish =='

without AGPS. I don't subscribe to data package.

Garmin asus m10 supports lane assist, junction view etc...

Lane assist is indeed based on what map your are using. I am using 3 types of maps --> MFM, MSM and City Navigator (garmin official)

Only City Navigator has lane assist. Btw, I find the lane assist abit annoying when driving on high way when it kept asking me to keep right, when just drive straight will do ...

Anyhow, the most updated and beautiful maps come from MFM, for Singapore, Malaysia & Brunei.
MSM is out and copycat of MFM...

mfm is shit created by senile people they wil bring u to weird places and destination which is not even on the road, dont trust mfm. Always go for malsing as it accurate and reliable and garmin phones are ur best buddies, been using a g60 for a year no regret at all, got lane assist, 1000+ junction view.

No smoking. Thanks.

For Sing,Mal,Bru maps :-

MFM is the most updated with weekly updates. I found more than 3 areas of highways that exist in MFM but not in City Navi and MSM. For eg. LKSA. Latest version --> 25.10.2010

City NAvi is second best. Latest update 3Q2010 with lane assist. Of course in terms of international mapping, they will be the best of all three.

MSM is outdated. Latest 2Q2010.

Btw, I don't care who copy who. I just want good and updated maps and so far, for local use, MFM is the best.

Agree with cloudhenri. maps in MFM updated monthy, detailed POI. I've been using MFM for nearly two years now and no regret so far. No doubt MSM is the first one to come out to support MY free map for Garmin, but sh#t happened along the way and MFM is the way to go now. Really am thankful to all the MFM mappers out there. MFM all the way!

hi, i'm a garmin gps user and i think MFM way better than preloaded Malsing map. Although it didn't support junction view which not a big deal actually, but the map are more detail than malsing since there always map update available. plus a lot of POI available contribute by the MFM forumer..so MFM beat Malsing for sure

bro, u colour blind ? garmin road is in pink colour.

all i know MSM too many limitation and lack of map update must apply something only can download tis la that la

MFM their map update every week and no limitation

Since use MFM got no regrets who copy who its not important what important its useful to end user

I think what he meant is the background color of the map is black (like in night mode).

Mine working fine day time its white and night time its black.

His device can only show balck and white, nostalgic item ...
