Ahh. I thought is using it everywhere. Lol. From experience, Sygic is better than Papago in some ways so I'll be going for Sygic. smile.gif

Well, the experiences are that Papago disappointed me few times with the lack/slow updates on the maps. sweat.gif

About easy for use:
1. PAPAGO: Easy to use, the function not so many, button to tap also big, easy to tap when driving.

2. Sygic: So many function, first time use, got lost how to do this and this. The best is when it said "Follow this way for 50 kilometers", I can off the app and GPS. When I arrived at 45 km, then I switch on GPS and the app, it continue the navigation, no need to set destination again.

if you have data plan, i'd vote for waze. it has community involvement so there's live traffic condition.

waze only good in downtown. aside from klang valley, it doesn't do navigation even at the town fringe. so its really for downtown.

i wonder will the upcoming new turn by turn navigation by google makes the paid sygic and papago obsolete?

yes, but can they mapper can be more organized like malfreemaps? because many road is wrong and rule road naming, how to define road type is confusing, they should make thread/moderator for country have big contributor, so country moderator can approved it for update through regional moderator who got any POI and tracking through user who upload it?

Sygic works well, but I find the loading time to be quite unreasonable - it takes forever to start up!

ok im a user of both papago M9 and sygic and let me give my opinion.
i personally prefer sygic as the interface is nicer, the rotation of map is also better in sygic, and most importantly, the pinch to zoom fuction. In papago, user need to press the + or - sign to zoom. and for rotation u can't control which direction u want to turn, u need to press the rotate sign and wait for it to rotate and when it reach ur desire rotation u press on screen to stop it.

papago POI and the whole route all seems to be too tiny in my 4" screen, and the way they arrange the UI doesn't help either (the upper left corner is irritating), sure, junction view is nice but its too distracting in my opinion, while sygic also has junction view but they remain it simple which is good enough for me.

now the good thing about papago is for course - the map and POI. most of the POI and jalan are updated and accurate, thanks to MFM. sygic on the other hands has quite outdated map and even worst, they even got some of the name road wrong! and I also like that papago has very specific jalan name.

so i put both navigation to the test, i set both sygic and papago to the shortest distance in settings, and then set to the same destination. both lead me to a different route and I found out that sygic was the one which lead to a better route (sygic suggested LDP while papago suggested federal)..

verdit: sygic is still my choice. i will only use papago when i need to search a road name
