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 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.
Garmin doesnt make for phones atm, but even if they did, they will certainly retail higher than RM 99. That does not include the price u have to pay for the official map. No doubt MSM makes official free maps for garmin, it is far from completion as compared to MFM, but however MFM is not recognised by Garmin themselves.
Tomtom, sygic, ndrive all have horrible outdated maps of asia.
I would much rather have an updated map which will bring me to my destination in 1 try.
igo is in the making and soon to be launched. MFM will be compiling the map for igo and with this will strengthen the competition making it stiffer and hopefully, price wars to drive the prices down.

papago's maps are available online at
www.malfreemaps.com

updated every month. free of charge for downloads. once u load in phone, there is no further need to download anything.

google maps alot of roads missing. and the route sucks. road names are wrong, and poi's are highly limited.
Sg buloh is a well known area. there are little road names there. only lot numbers. good luck finding a location there using google maps.

routing is important. if you do not have proper routing, it can bring u around in circles without getting to your destination. Maps are the next most important thing besides the navigation engine. If you do no possess an updated map, you can be brought entering a one way street in a wrong direction. Route directions is important for us humans. places which u are allowed to do u-turns legally etc etc. google maps cannot provide you with that, nor can commercial map out perform community maps. No one knows malaysian roads better than us malaysians. And malaysians are the ones that are contributing the data to community maps.

There is no other commercial map or google map or whatever that is more updated than MFM itself. Roads that are not open yet, or still under construction are already added to the map way before launch. (it is disconnected until official launch though).

LKSA has been in MFM since long ago thanks to a moderator in travel and living. Others are trying to play catch up with community maps. The poi's are also extensive that others are far behind and cannot even catch up.
