Untrue. The GPS chip is embedded in the Cellular Radio. You need to turn it on for the GPS chip to turn on. If u don't believe me zoom in at maximum in Maps. If you have a blue circle with halo around it (10-30 meters radius), it is only fetching location data via the towers. If there's no blue halo around it then it's on GPS chip.

Can you do this experiment:

turn off wifi and turn off 3g.

WIthout both data, it'll not have data location from wifi or 3g.

Now, try to track using gps offline map.

DOn't use google map la. Coz u no data mah.

Well not worthed it as you need to invest in a GPS app which cost a lot also..

Most ppl don't care about the GPS I guess? 3G connection is still the main point..
*
Not really cost a lot. I just bought SyGic for USD14.99 and its works on both iPhone4 and iPad.

I do care about GPS because I can walk around Hong Kong discussing where we should head to
with my wife looking at 10" screen instead of tiny 3.5" iPhone 4.

In that case I did the right thing buying wifi only version tongue.gif

Not really. You made the wrong decision. Majority normally is right. 3G version sold out fast.

RM400 for GPS and 3G is worth it brah.

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

papago is not retina display. It cannot be used with ipon4/ipad display

Just installed Sygic (SG & MY).  Just play around the Nav software. Haven't try on Nav mode.  Still figure how to put my iPad on the car dash?

(+)
nice GUI.
fast GPS locking.
fast routing
cheaper than Papago HD SG & MY (USD29.99)
great resolution on iPad. love the big screen vs iPhone

(-)
POI is less superior than Papago's Malfreemap.  Not that bad actually.
POI icons cannot display info when touch on it.  (on Sygic website, next software Rev should include this feature)
Need time to get use to the GUI.
Cannot support Malfreemap now.
*
its cheap as backup map.

If Papago HD drop price, can buy again.

And u can use Sygic to iPhone. Awesome.

if i tether ipad2 wifi only with android, is it possible that i'll get GPS functioning ?

Some say can. Some say cannot.

So...

if you want GPS function, get a 3G iPad 2. RM400 only. Cheap cheap nia.
