Papago

Rm 99

Junction view with actual junction photos, monthly map update free of all charges, countries include msia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei and Indonesia.

Much better deal compared with sygic or watever out there due to updated maps.

Papago is only good if used within these few countries because of local community maps. Other than that, there's not much going for it. Very simple software, can't customise much, can't enter coordinates, local version can't rotate to landscape, etc. Also, many people experience FC on Samsung phones. I prefer Garmin but since there's no Garmin on Android, have to stick with Papago with Sygic as backup.

Papago is the best option for android when it comes to msian, singaporeans, indonesians and thais. With RM 99, it is a bargain. It provides junction views even. Actual pictures of junctions and not some drawn up imaginated road.
For RM 99, i dont think there is any other navigating software out there than is priced at that range for mobile phones.
You are right. I stand by my statement when I said, "Papago is only good if used within these few countries because of local community maps."

To refer to your papago for mobile on landscape and portrait mode, kindly refer to this thread before further commenting.

That thread discusses M8/M9, which is not available for public use yet, correct? At least, I cannot find it in the online shop. So, you are right again, I will stop making further comments since I cannot use it yet. BTW, Thai version of Papago can have landscape mode, so I don't know why local versions have this restriction.

MFM's support for Papago X5 has stopped since Oct 2011, so it's not really that updated anymore (POIs change a lot in 4 months). But still better than the competitors, I suppose.
