thanks for the information , how about papago ?

Papago > Garmin

wow.... any real user sharing here ?

once a month as i been using this few months back

depending on the speed of the cpu, if pda speeds below 500mhz, may be a bit laggy

@@ ? any specific reason ?

i will go for garmin...because the interface...

but it will bring you to the wrong exit .....

same experience here.....

if only Garmin XT mobile have junction view on smartphone, then i'd go for Garmin ..

but if i were to buy a standalone unit, i think i'd go for Garmin cos i prefer garmin voice navigator style...
Papago repeats too much...

i certainly like Garmin's voice command .... but not when the machine starts to go wrong

I just bought the WayWay Q5033 yesterday. Not related to Garmin but it is from M3 Asia too (same as Papago). It costs RM599. I tested the route back to my house. It located the street but didn't take me to my doorstep.

It's quite fast (going through menus). Too bad I can't change the voice. It's white. 5". Has a multimedia player. It found the satellite quite fast.

I wonder whether I should have just bought the Garmin 1250. 'Cos it's cheaper.

I wonder if Garmin can take me to my doorstep.

yes garmin can.

your wayway is running wince? then you can install garmin in it.

Used both Garmin and Papago on seperate smartphones. IMO i prefer Garmin's voice navigation seems like more simple for me. And the directions on the map, at least for me i still can figure it out and did not got lost on Garmin. While for Papago, the voice commands seems to be long and repeating for me, i got confused sometimes.

i have just installed papago inside my Android Froyo 2.2 ... not bad

REally? I can install Garmin on it? How? I think it's running WinCE. I have the media player and everything.

try google and see, im also not sure, but wince should be able to install garmin papago etc...

WINCE ?

yes

I have used Garmin in the past, and I am using Papago at the moment on my Android.

Let me put it this way... The moment Garmin comes out with an Android software, I am going to them.

Just a warning, I really am annoyed with Papago, just that they are the only choice I have right now. So please bear with my rants.

There are two main reasons why I hate Papago, and it is more than enough to really piss me off.


Reason 1

They repeat things 3 times for no frigging reasons.. "In 1km please get ready to turn right.".. "In 300m get ready to turn right"... "please turn right now"... so it gets really annoying..

Not only do they repeat things so many times, but their sentence is so long... it is annoying when on the highways as you're travelling at 80-110km/h, this is enough to have that thing speak to you for the next 2 minutes continuously, just to tell you to turn left?


Reason 2

Their 'lane assist' window box is stupid. They pop up a cool looking image of the 'road' showing which lane to go and all.. but it blocks the most important part of the GUI... the area where it tells you the distance to the turning.. So many times I missed the turning because I was unable to gauge the distance of the turning because the picture was in the way.


These two "features" are something that you endure a lot, and therefore I find really annoying.

Just thought I share it with you guys.

i think Garmin is much better as currently i using PAPAGO and always hang and lag there
