papago maps looks so ugly, aura is much prettier, plus it locks much faster than papago. this is my experience

same maps lah but outdated. MFM=malfreemaps. the link I given is direct from the original mapper themselve.

Anyway, the review on Sygic maps also featured in MFM site here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1945731

Really impressive & as others mentioned much better UI & graphic than papago/Garmin..too bad as those users said- lack of maps updates & detail maps for Malaysia

lack of map updates doesn't effect the usability of this navi, i tried getting lost in some back roads inside a city before and it took me (using the shortest route) out of there, this navi is very accurate and effective

Sorry sifu apple is apple. How good also if there is a road and now block it will still show you that route too. If there new road existence even there is a better or even shorter route your outdated map wont know

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. I'll take the long route any day because I'll actually REACH MY DESTINATION before the gps locks on papago, thank you

plus, this is malaysia, they r ALWAYS blocking, fixing, changing roads, what's the point of updating the map when it will be outdated every week or so. What we need is an accurate navi that will get us out of a fix when we needed it the most, fast response to route changing and reliable. and aura has the most POIs (and very update too), this is what u needed most when u go to a place u don't know anything about. If u travel a lot u will agree with me on this

wow u so free to write so much stuff here, and who's protecting what now??? I'm not protecting Aura, it's just I've used both papago and Aura before, and it's my personal preference of using Aura, that's all

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)
