Use free Google Maps, download required areas for offline use when traveling.

You are right. Saving maps for JP disabled already.

Actually what I notice is this. When you open an area on G Maps, it's automatically cached and you can reopen same area offline later. But I'm not sure how long it remains in cache though.

So what you can do is, before leaving hotel in the morning (or the night before), open the maps of areas you would be going, so that they are cached. Then close Maps, no prob. When you are out of the hotel, with no internet, open G Maps and you should be able to view offline the maps you open/cached in the hotel.

If unsure, test it here in KL first. Open say, KLCC area on G Maps, then close everything. Go offline, re-open G Maps and go to KLCC area. The map viewed before should re-appear.

Looks nice!

Amazing pics!

That delay is due to your device doing calculations after receiving signals from the GPS satellites, to find your exact position and plotting it on the map. So its 'accuracy' depends on how powerful your navigation device is. I have a simple solution - whenever you approach a junction/ramp/turnoff/whatever, just reduce your car speed.

Hahaha, useful!
