Recently I've been thinking of buying a standalone GPS but it really cost a lot of money and the screen is stupidly small.

So I decided to make my iPad (4th gen) a part time GPS Navigation device when I'm on the road (car holder come later). Besides Waze Social Navigation, is there any GPS Navigation apps that support iPad 4 resolution, less use of data(off9 if possible), has good support & updates, frequent map updates(especially for Malaysia & Singapore) and user friendly?

Can give PAPAGO a try. But the best solution would be Waze. I also buy the Garmin apps but the update is SLLOOWWWWW. PAPAGO is still acceptable but not as fast as Waze.

Hi,

Anything related to iPad, please post at the iPad sub-forum. The response would be better there.

Thread moved.

Try Sygic for Malaysia&SG, or Southeast Asia version. Both come with different pricing depending on personal preferences =)

I find it pretty good compare with Garmin/Papago, and YEs it works offline!

I've tried sygic, Waze and google navigation.

The best if still Waze. Why?
Traffic info
No other maps can top Waze maps in terms of accuracy and up to date.
Fun
Automated, knows when I go to work and return from work and when sending and fetching my daughter in school. Just brilliantly automated, loads up my route automatically.
Wife can track my journey home and open the gate at the right time. Yeah I do need electric gate but Waze the next best option

Buang masa offline gps. 95 percent of the time when u drive u know the way. What u dono is the traffic condition. Offline gps don't give u traffic condition. Well actually they do but with a price. If u don't want to get data plan than u still living in the zaman batu. Data plan is like your phone extension not only for gps. Can Whatsapp, Skype, hangout, and a million more things that is so worth the price. Imagine someone Whatsapp me I have to wait till u reach home before I can answer. So leceh if no data plan

There are certain location/road that don't have 3G/HSDPA signals. So OFFLINE GPS Navi is really IMPORTANT.

in KL? hardly. In kuching? hardly too. In kampung? hardly also but i am sure some kampung in deep jungle don't have signal. so i respect that u may have that experience. so go for offline in this case. btw, i have sygic in case that situation happens, and for the last 2 years i only used sygic once.
