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 |

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 This post has been edited by breaker84: Sep 21 2010, 02:32 PM |

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 |

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

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 ==' This post has been edited by cloudhenri: Oct 27 2010, 11:17 AM |

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... This post has been edited by cloudhenri: Oct 27 2010, 03:17 PM |

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.

Added on October 27, 2010, 12:14 pm what are u smoking man? mfm is the copycat, msm is endorsed by garmin. 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.This post has been edited by cloudhenri: Oct 27 2010, 05:27 PM |

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!

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 sureAdded on October 27, 2010, 12:14 pm what are u smoking man? mfm is the copycat, msm is endorsed by garmin. |

QUOTE(greyPJ @ Oct 28 2010, 11:25 AM) you dont need data package to use agps. oh ... tried but M10 don't have the "enhanced GPS" setting you mentioned but the specs mentioned it has AGPS. Probably can't be deactivated huh?! By the way, thanks for enhancing my knowledge. Always tot tat AGPS need internet connection ... after check wiki, seems like mobile phone AGPS has other ways ^ ^ try go to: Start>Settings>system>enhanced GPS set both options to disable without agps see if it locks this fast. Copy from wiki :  A typical A-GPS-enabled receiver will use a data connection (Internet or other) to contact the assistance server for aGPS information. If it also has functioning autonomous GPS, it may use standalone GPS, which is sometimes slower on time to first fix, but does not depend on the network, and therefore can work beyond network range. Some aGPS devices do not have the option of falling back to standalone or autonomous GPS. Many mobile phones combine A-GPS and other location services including Wi-Fi Positioning System and cell-site triangulation and sometimes a hybrid positioning system. |

I wont comment on device. there are many types of device.
The search function in Garmin beats all. I have installed TomTom/Papago in iPhone to try. what a shame ! I cant search road number. Garmin on my OLD HTC phone beats them away by the search function alone. PapaGo prompts a annoying, its keep talking. Getting satelite fix in 5-10 sec isnt big deal if you think practically. it takes little longer when you are moving. Navigation wise as long as it shows you the road should be good enough dont expect these GPS device to tell you drive which lane too. Finally if you buying dedicated GPS device, buy most cheap Garmin model. Trust me you dont need those fancy feature that makes you to pay 1k+ btw using GPS almost 4yrs. |

Just imagine your whole family happily ready to go somewhere, turn on the engine but need to sit there and wait for at least 15 minutes for satellite lock, with no guarantee ?! How does it feel?  , or  |

To be exact, the satellite lock took about 1-2 second ... so M10 rocks i think now the best way to determine is to take out the simcard and let the phone in offline mode. go to a new location, if it can still get lock outside under 5 sec, it rocks.  |

i dunno. i feel comfortable with Garmin.
So I don't intend to change. Although the cost is slightly higher than Papago, i think the brand will definitely give better satisfaction. |

I prefer garmin. The latest garmin 3790 has this terrain features which is kinda questionable whether it serves any purpose.

bro, i think nothing is the best, just depend on how u judge them.
for me, i strongly recommend GARMIN. i use it for 1 and half year, it is reliable because it "bring" me to every corner of half a peninsular malaysia. useful and the satelite reception also improved. *double thumb up* |

well... i use papago & Igo8. Igo8 has a most user friendly gui quite similar to Garmin but map is not updated. Papago with MFM a bit lagged but most updated map+pois.

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. |

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 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 still superior to Papago. Just installed Papago on my Android and i think my old Nokia E66 Garmin Mobile XT is still superior in navigation. too bad Garmin is tied only to Asus (at the moment).
and for those saying that Garmin bring you go wrong places, please update your map and quit using Malsing. Use MFM maps |

so now i confuse to choose between nuvi 1460 (which is I buy already) with papago R6100 @ R6600.. for me, garmin interface is just dull.. even if i drive back to my home town.. i can see there is just my driving lane and no other 'parit'.. jalan.. or else indicate at the screen.. compare with papago.. there are quite a number of those parit and jalan available on the map...
any papago user outside that can share ur experience? Thanks. |

Furthermore, the smartphone can be your office on wheel running Office document, listen to music, watch movies, play games and oh....also make phone calls. Actually last time I used before phone + GPS... but not so responsive ( end up miss some turning and get lost). this is the reason I wish to get a GPS stand alone.I`m currently using iphone 4 also but dunno which apps is good. any recommendation? |

Don't only look for those Navigator but lack in Maps update-lah.
Some maps might hv better graphic & etc but when comes to POIs & new roads & etc..You can't even find inside the maps. Other than Garmin & Papago which having weekly & Monthly updates respectively from malfreemaps or malsingmaps (For Garmin wth Junction view), Other Navigators are really pain in the ass...Even Ovimaps..superior interm of UI & etc but lack in road & POIs.. Even the SKVE and LEKAS highways already in malfreemaps since last year still not updated in the latest Ovimaps, google maps & etc and BTW, for the latest LATAR expressway, even before opening, malfreemaps already updated the maps! |

Your arguement reminded me of another guy in Nokia N8 thread that mati-mati wanna protect the superiority of Ovimaps compare to Garmin
..So I don;t a substative testing comparing the routing & also the detail of Garmin-Malfreemaps compare wth Ovimaps. He even highlight the superiority of ovimaps routing but from my testing- Ovimaps routing is really bullshit ..Well, the Highways that I mentioned earlier that were completed since early 2010..Till Today already >1.5 yrs..stilll not updated yet in ovimaps..well, probably is sygic/aura & googlemaps too.An updated maps is way more important & so do the routing, POIs search & etc...I already in the GPS since early stage of GPS started in Malaysia...I was using the 1st batch of available maps by malsingmaps and that time so dissapointed that the whole of Puchong, only about 50% coverage. That's started my contribution and learning to contribute to the communities...Tnx god, by now, roads surrounding Puchong is updated in Garmin/papago malfreemaps weeks or even months before residents or highway completed BTW, comparing to those maps by sygic/Aura, they are just commercial based maps & not as detail & updated as those community based mapps....Give yopu an example...This area in Puchong Bdr Puteri, the new shop houses & also the new Section 6 has just been completed and the road in the shoplots only half tarmac-ted when I mapped it (Via MTB) on Sunday...Well, It will be updated./publish next Monday...just check how updated is malfreemaps... http://www.malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?p=154573#p154573  QUOTE(stormlcc @ Jul 6 2011, 09:38 AM) well it's better than papago that won't work on devices with low gps receiving like the desire HD. it takes forever to lock gps using papago, it takes about 5 seconds for aura.

NVM, atleast i state my point on the community mappings in Malaysia and how these 2 malsingmaps & malfreemaps started way back in 2003 by a Singaporean & a m'sian enthuthiasts.
Without them, there will be no detail commercial maps as per Today. I respect your preference on Aura and we hope either malsingmaps & maolfreemaps will expand by colloborating with them too so that we can have malfreemaps installed in sygic/aura for better navi IU. & more hardware that support these updated maps. But for you telling others that updated maps is not important really hurt the feeliong of those spending their weekend tracking miles & miles and having wife nagging inside the car for following us tracking new roads... They are the pioneer that resulted in the GPS blooming in malaysia since recentr years..and you should thank the communities for the most updated maps in M'sia. For your info, I have evidence of those commercial maps copying malsingmaps & malfreemaps data and build they maps..damn cheating haha Even some of the time bomb placed inside malsingmaps/malfreemaps been copied by Googlemaps!! I was so proud when googlemaps having my tracklogs & road nemed after my name years ago haha..Well, years ago b4 goopglemaps deleted their copied road, you can find "Lorong stimix" in googlemaps haha |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « sorry if i offended u, i use sygic because it works for me, and not papago (it doesn't really work on my DHD because of gps lock is frustrating). plus it saved me from a lot of trouble getting out of back roads and small towns. i don't use it in KL because I know the roads like the back of my hand, the only city / state big enough for me to really need navi is Penang and Singapore, and I'll tell u Penang's roads are ALWAYS under construction and changing really quickly, just like KL, sometimes 6 months didn't visit got new flyover already........but for me (personal opinion) accuracy, response, POI and gps lock (on android at least) is more important than map updates because no matter how outdated the maps are, there WILL BE some roads that will never change, ever, even if it takes me twice as long to get to my destination, well, at least i can reach there without sweating due to lost in the jungle (of concrete) |

Sifu trying to show that updated maps helps alot especially when navigating example of garmin if u cant find the road u can find shop name or even landmark due to its up to date POI.
My accord is using papago. Its searches its not as flexible as garmin. Of course navigation UI all this models is way better than garmin because garmin stop updating its software but only the map is keep getting up to date. |

Deep inside Mukah jungle & Sarikei in Sarawak..OK no lor haha..Not many active GPS trackers in Sarawak.. I dun think ovimaps also having any maps inside these areas
What I mean are those famous MTB or 4WD jungle tracks in Pen Malaysia..mostly inside malfreemaps dy..Even you can see tracks to lotsa famous summit of mountain in Pen Malaysia side. but not navigeable via satelite..bcos detached from the main road on purpose...Otherwise..very misleading QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Jul 7 2011, 12:42 PM) 2.841915, 112.150223 2.130096, 111.342584 Wharf |

For me UI also nice but the most important thing is the accuracy or routing and also the most updated maps.
Any navigator also can bring you fom point A to B. There is no deny on it but if one navigator routed you 30KM xtra from another which is much more accurate or even suggested weird routing ..That's no good dy.. I tested so many times on Ovimaps & Garmin & ovimaps till Today really lousy. Well, anyway, I still like Ovimaps UI compare to Garmin haha ..The routing & also Ovimaps reluctant to corporate wth malfreemaps also resulted wth them having their own lousy maps supplier wth outdated maps...Wth the none inclusion of lotsa new Highways in Klang Valley, imagine going from the Southern part of Kalng Valley via Kesa Highway to Federal highway.., Ovimaps willo route you an extra 30km bypassing the new LIKAS highway connecting Southern Shah Alam to Northern Shah Alam? Or imagine in another few more weeks, ppl who use the updated papago/Garmin malfreemaps able to route from Rawang to Ijok/ Kuala Selangor using the LATAR expressway while Ovimaps/Sygic or any commercial maps will route your to NKVE/ Sg Buloh or to Meru Sekinchan area be goping to Kuala Selangor..That will be very far way lor...Yeah you still reach your destination but relying on really outdated routing FYI, The LIKAS & SKVE highway already updated since last year but till Today not yet in Ovimaps & Googlemaps..Presumably not in also in any commercial maps Today QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Jul 7 2011, 03:51 PM) I actually started off with Nokia Maps and Garmin. But I like the UI of Maps better and stick with that. Beside, after I reset the phone, the Garmin had become inoperable so never bother since. For me, as long as it can get me from A to B, it's fine with me. This post has been edited by stimix: Jul 7 2011, 04:25 PM |

Just to highlight another achievement on latest malfreemaps issued 3 days ago- LATAR expressway - Completely covered even before opening
Just check the progress of MFM champion track contributor unker "Tuah" spending his few precious weekend since Early June to track & cover this highway & resulted in the most latest updated maps available in Malaysia http://www.malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11024 Those ppl using this latest maps and coming from near Rawang will be the 1st be able to route using this latest maps |

Ya, may be it's about time to have a relook at Garmin but unfortunately, it is no longer working in my phone.
How much is the original Garmin XT? Can it only be installed in 1 phone or multiple phone? |

Pls dun give misleading info-lah.. There is no Garmin for iphone. Iphone having few GPS navigators and one of them is papago that able to run on the free malfreemaps.
BTW, if it's Garmin (esp those running on Symbian or Winmo platform, there's maps available either malfreemaps or malsingmaps. So do not confuse ppl saying there is no free M'sia maps for Garmin QUOTE(akash3656 @ Jul 8 2011, 12:56 PM) There is Garmin... But must see whether got map or not for Malaysia....

I compared Garmin with OVI and found:1. OVI seems to be able to start calculating route faster from the word 'go'. This is expected because of better integration since hardware and software are from the same manufacturer. 2. There is an 20+ years old housing estate bitumen road and surprise surprise, OVI shows the road but latest Malfreemap say no road. Beside that one surprise I encountered, I find Malfreemaps generally having more road coverage. 3. Search function on Garmin is vastly superior. But both can't search using coordinate without creating Landmark or My Location first. 4. OVI seems to give more precise turn-by-turn instruction and when you are just about to turn, it will tell you to turn. While Garmin does give advanced turn instruction but at the precise moment of turning, it sometimes kept totally quiet. 5. Garmin seems to be able to lock onto satellite a split second faster. Both on AGPS. 6. Without saying, malfreemaps has tons of POI whereas OVI only have a few kilogram. But personal view says OVI UI is nicer. 7. May be I don't know how with Garmin but with OVI, I can switch to Satellite views if I wanted to. 8. Garmin allows you to send your location to friends via SMS but not OVI.

garmin xt:
pros: 1. can set custom avoidance: area or road 2. can give u direction of all POI (with arrow of direction) from your current location 3. can set custom route ahead and call out when needed 4. can track 5. intergrate with mapsource make backup and manage "my location" easier 6. can search POI "current route" 7. 2 weeks update of malfreemap (where to find such latest map in this world)?? 8. SBAS works with gps bluetooth receiver 9. multiple maps cons: 1. no north arrow at map (this arrow is useful when u r at pedesterian mode) ----- i've travelled to china and HK with garmin xt on 5800. she never failed me. i'm sorry for papago and ovi map for ur CMI. |

For sure Garmin having lack of world maps-lah.. Anyway, you can Dl, whole Indonesia maps from nagigasi.net, Phillipines & etc if you google. Those are free maps similar to malsingmaps & malfreemaps. There are others as well such as New Zealand & else where..Otherwise there is a database on other countries via http://mapcenter.cgpsmapper.com/catalogue.php (Well not so detail). Anyway, Agreed that ovimaps is superior on overall world maps other than Malaysia, Thailand & indonesia haha..
On your comparison, not a suprise..I found lotsa OLDER roads not in malfreemaps too and lotsa backlanes, sidelanes & factory roads on ovimaps but not in malfreemaps.. reason been..those roads probably not useable anymore, no one track those roads, guarded by guards, & lotsa obstacles that trackers can't enter... teleatlas, the maps supplier for Ovimaps probably traced those roads from Googlemaps/google earth & draw...Well lotsa errors bcos googlemaps having alliggnment error & certain roads already no longer there but they still traced it. Malfreemaps based on contribution & lotsa new areas..are awaiting tracker/mappers to tracks & they do have lotsa volunteers there...inc me haha QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Jul 9 2011, 06:38 AM) Can you get free maps of other countries that Garmin can read?

Can be traceb but not accurate lor bcos of the alignment. Well depending on mapper wehther free to draw or not. contributed tracks is more valued compare to google maps trace. & certain backlanes & factories roads actually not really useful & thus excluded (Not all). Overall, on latest new roads- & whole urban areas in Malaysia - malfreemaps superior but on very old, factory road, backlanes - Ovimaps.
Voice instruction- Yes ovimaps better but Routing error is terrible in ovimaps lor & the fact or the major new highways & etc not in the maps.. Yeah those community built roads in rural areas should be included...BTW, to contribute using your nokia, try race chrono or sport tracker on how to record GPS track...thereafter the recorded track can be contribute. also you can DL free the Garmin - Mapsource to replay your recorded track and view it or even playback on google maps/ google earth QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ Jul 12 2011, 06:29 AM) Recently I found more road missing (or incomplete meaning it is supposed to join up to a major road but it just stop halfway for no apparent reason) in Malfreemaps but are in OVI maps and these roads are still in active use by the general public and in constant repair by the local authorities.

im not sure if u can even compare this 2
there isnt any garmin apps for both android and iOS. garmin is used for selected models only, namely asus due to their asus-garmin partnership papago on the other hand is downloadable and can be used on almost every android/iOS phone. |

I got another potentially dangerous voice navigation from Garmin tonight.
Dual lane road. 1st got incomplete instruction, only heard the word "left". A second later, I heard the instruction "turn right"...... If I had went to left lane as first instructed and immediately had to turn right (mere 20 meters away), then I would have to immediately cut cross the lane to my right to turn right. It could had ended in an accident by hitting the car on the right lane. Luckily I was just testing Garmin on road I am very familiar with. In this particular case, Turn Right is the correction direction and I don't know why it said "left" initially. IMO, Garmin XT definitely got inferior voice navigation compared to OVI V3.04. I also suspect it also has inferior routing but need further checking out. |

Not many are capable and professional. They just sell without providing proper usage instructions. and Ovi maps i have to say again, is lousy. Whether last time or now it is still lousy to me. What was rubbish for SEA is still lousy for SEA now. as far as voice navigation goes, the clear cut instructions are handed down perfectly well by all. it is how the user interprets it. I personally love tomtom as i'm very used to it. Some find papago annoying and long winded, some love the clear cut instructions from it. At the end of the day, is whether the user can interpret it or not and how fast. If POI's are your major concern then it shows how much of a newbie you are. So listen to me and listen to me well. the purpose of a navigational unit is to bring you there. Without POI's you can still do a search using road names. It's not difficult to use your eyes to lookout for where the specific shop or place you are looking for is; on that road. The main purpose of POI is to guide and plot for necessary centres such as police stations, clinics and banks and other important locations. The most important factor in getting a good map, is the routing. How it routes you, is the #1 factor that determines and makes a good map. No point of buying something that routes you and forces you to go on the opposite direction of a 1 way street now is it ? As an ex-mapper of MFM , i will gladly tell you that the strength of MFM is in its routing system, NOT the number of POI's it has. That would be secondary. |

QUOTE(buntutwoman @ Jul 13 2011, 12:36 PM) voice navigation should provide clear cut instructions, and when in doubt , go for visual confirmation. usually seasoned veterans do both as the guidance to the next turn and the turn after that is needed. you as a newbie should begin that principle and understanding it. You may like to reinvent the wheel but normal people don't so listen to me well. While we can indeed find the coordinates by doing some research on the Internet before leaving home, it is far easier if those POI are already in the map because otherwise, it would not be called "Point of Interest", would it? And for tourist like me, Point of Interest means famous sightseeing landmark and nice restaurant, not finding police station and clinic like you do.this problem is easily rectified if the retailer or the seller guides the person who made the purchase. Not many are capable and professional. They just sell without providing proper usage instructions. and Ovi maps i have to say again, is lousy. Whether last time or now it is still lousy to me.

As for voice instruction, you acknowlege it should be clear cut so stop making excuses to defend Garmin when it doesn't. Now tell me, how do you interprete "Left" and a mere second later (not 5 seconds later), "turn Right" sounded to you on a multi lane road? Furthermore, the turn is a mere 20+meters away making taking immediate action dangerous. This is clearly a instruction problem and not a interpretation problem. Visual and audio works hand in hand in navigation. To take eyes off the road is dangerous. Do you actually drive a car? This post has been edited by Optiplex330: Jul 13 2011, 01:32 PM |

point of interests. NOT the points of YOUR interests.
and like is said, this is all user problem so it is your problem. If you think there is an issue with voice guidance via MFM maps, do lodge a report for that particular section with co-ordinates provided and a brief explanation to your encounter. Your issue will be considered and sent for verification and resolve as best as they can. I have no idea which section you are talking about and since stimix is here you can report to him on that section. Just give him the co-ordinates to your encounter. And again i will repeat to you on the same matter. A seasoned user will rely on audio interpretation first and then use visual for confirmation. Doing both together is unadvisable. You say visual and audio works hand in hand, yet you say taking your eyes off the road is dangerous. So what message are you trying to relay to me ? Is it the fact that we have to see and hear the gps ? or the fact that we should just hear and not see as per your 2nd statement ? You are confused and you are confusing me. And no, i do not drive a car. But i can bet you my bike is a lot more expensive than your car. |

Aigooo..war gonna start liao..haha..
Anyway, irregardless of whatever navigators which have their own pros & cons, The most important thing is the routing, the most updated maps & also POIs (Yeah important to me too..This one I wanna tembak buntut saying not important) If only ovimaps able to use or years back decided to use malfreemaps instead of teleatlas..I also already stop using Garmin liao haha..Imagine nice voice, much better routing & more updated roads & POIs in ovimaps - That will be great...Too bad they decided otherwise & now more & more commercial navigator wanna use malfreemaps liao..like the mio/IGO navigator or the existing Galactio, papago & Garmin |

wah finally chap lap liao. never mind la, still got plenty of places more.
alot of POI's is one good thing, the person who compiles that is in deepshit. this i know for a fact. but sooner or later which i perceive is that you keep adding but no one takes it out. that's when you're left with a whole load of deepshit to clean. now got about close to 500k if i'm not mistaken.

trolled and suksesful.
btw this is the realistic part to opti whatever's question. cross platform does work if you know certain binaries. so assuming you want the poi's from mfm or msm or any other maps, you can copy them out to a certain extent. definitely not all. only some and a very selected some. that's the easy part. the hard part is the insertion. lazy man's way is to compile under customed groupings or if not alot, then my fav's folder. the hard part is the insertion to map via indicators and those are just going to be fake indicators but still triggering as a marker. |

Come on?? Garmin of course.. its been around for ages and tech from US. Papago just a new brand following the same satelite and port as garmin. I also encounter friends who complaint about other brand GPS papago, way way and so on as they are too slow in receiving the signals.

Just bought a Wayway Q4033. Pretty happy with it so far.
Junction view, *some* some 3D buildings and very clear, concise voice navigation.Was using Garmin Nuvi 255w and Garmin Mobile XT previously.. satellite capture can be slow on certain days (5 mins and more), directions always not concise (go past the turn only ask me to turn left, and lag after U-turn). But don't know about the newer Garmin models. Standalone GPS devices are always better than phone + GPS. The convenience of a larger screen and not getting phone calls interrupted. But if you want portability, then Phone + GPS is fine too. This post has been edited by baoz: Nov 6 2011, 02:54 PM |

Garmin or Papago also ok lar....i used both. But Papago is much speedier and less laggy when using on the same GPS....but maybe my Garmin very old version...Garmin XT....can't find a newer one! Using Papago ONE now....good stuff.

There's nothing wrong with that, but it simply shows the aspect where papago lacks it's intelligent compared to garmin. Also, it's dangerous to suggest a u-turn everytime there's a traffic light, because there's always a probability that some users will just follow whereever papago instructs to go. I'm comparing only 1 small aspect only which doesn't justify whether papago is bad or garmin is better. |

I don't think it has to do with intelligent but more to do with maps database. If the map's database does not specify no 'u-turn', the software doing the navigation can't know you can't do 'u-turn'. And what you said is user fault. That is why I tell my friend who is using GPS to first use it in their home ground to get themselves familiarized with it before using it on unfamiliar territories. if they don't and got confused later, then they the user is to be blamed, not the system. My 2 sen. |

please don buy papago or wayway.
these are very poor gps. im very regret to buy it, the funtion inside : 'tollway avoidance' and 'u-turn avoidance' is not working. so i alway need to pay stupid toll money. the 'u-turn avoidance' function if u tick it, it will hang all the time. i even go to the service centre with expensive parking fee, they still cant solve the problem, and until now havent get back to me. my friends, pls think twice before buy it.

Garmin is better, personally don't like Papago interface.
Sygic is good but the Malaysia map is not so updated, some small lorong cannot detect. |

Waze requires data plan, infact its quite heave data usage as my last trip from KL-JB km trip consume significant amount of data as reported by 3G watchdog. Daily trips (40km++) also see use of data.
But Waze use is very good. Can see real traffic data and reports from other users (more when you stop). Route chosen is not the best but you can easily select alternatives. |

I never used papago. But used Garmin. Garmin to me is good and serve is purpose as offline gps. But between online and offline gps I rather choose online as the main driver. Like Waze. Why? Lots of reason. Real time traffic, traffic aware routing, understand your daily travel cycle and suggest your route upon start up. More updated maps, and many more just too many tired already so I'll stop here. To me offline gps got only one advantage that is can use without Internet.
