I use Papago hd and work flawlessly wherever I go.
The gps in iPad stronger than any other gps device i've tried !
No gps device or even iPhone work in my v-kool installed car but iPad does work !

Bro, can you confirm the Papago HD is design for the HD resolution. Not upscale from the iPhone version.

I understand Papago supports Malfreemaps. Is that easy to update map from Malfreemaps?

i'm using Papago for iPhone. map from Malfreemaps. more customize to m'sia & s'pore with lots of POI and updated roads. i'm a food lover, so POI is very important to me.

not sure if Sygic's map/POI as comprehensive as Papago. hope to see more comments from Sygic user.

no doubt that price-wise Sygic is cheaper now (USD12.99) vs Papago (USD29.99). if Papago drops their price to the same, will sapu straight away tongue.gif

Just installed Sygic (SG & MY). Here is my short review. In summary, reasonably good Nav system on iPad. If you need details MY map and POI, look for Papago HD that support Malfreemap.

Still figure how to put my iPad on the car dash rclxub.gif

(+)
cheaper than Papago HD SG & MY (USD29.99)
nice GUI
great resolution on iPad, no pixelated. love the big screen
fast GPS locking
Nav mode: fast routing
Nav mode: reasonably fast rerouting (approx 4-5s)
Nav mode: turn on map very fast (<1s). my Papago on iPhone takes about 2s.
Nav mode: clear Nav turn by turn voice


(-)
cannot support Malfreemap now
POI is less superior than Papago's Malfreemap. Not that bad actually.
few of my taman roads not in the map. Malfreemap rules.
POI icons cannot display info when touch on it. (on Sygic website, next software Rev should include this feature)
no junction view

another way is to buy bluetooth gps module and connect to the iPad via bluetooth connection.
