This is something quite new especially in Malaysia. And best of all, it's FREE. So, i'm sharing it with LOWYAT forumers. It works on most of the smart phone (Iphone/Blackberry/Android based) Its a free GPS navigation (something like malsingmap?) but needs input from the community to perfect it. You can contribute your POI, buildings, food outlets, speedtrap, etc.

As you drive/walk/ride, the navigation records down your movement/ your speed etc/ your current location. So, you will know the latest traffic/roadblack etc.

The only downside - the application uses your data to run. Apart from that, its ok, but more input needed.

Added on November 4, 2010, 12:11 amHows the maturity of this product? Does it have many POI and is the direction reliable?

It's still new in the market. Therefore it will take sometime. Unless they are demand from the community.
