thanks strings and seaedge for the information!

i've found this one so if i want to use it as offline map.
http://www.touchpodium.com/2008/04/13/view...aps-offline-01/

so i guess gotta sign up the maxis unlimited 3G service for RM99 a month after all.

but i think there is a third party app which enables offline maps usage.

yeah that's the link i posted above.

i think best if there's 3rd party GPS application develop a version for iphone so can use the garmin way.

alamak.... have to JB the phone ar?

i've read that JB the phone will not void warranty, so why not?

...in fact there's no warranty for iphone in m'sia.

good for you 2!

maybe i'd also get a kiasu unit also la if i cannot wait any longer...

externaal? tak boleh plug throught itunes and update

Put it this way. Iphone have GPS SYSTEM but Don't have map like garmin(not sure the name) and others navigation. Iphone used GOOGLE map as map Which is equivalents to MapKing/others. So u are paying the Kb for google maps dl from 3G, edge,gprs.

thanks!

but since iphone has been jailbroken so hopefully someone can intergrate the offline google map thing with the preinstalled google map.

cause not everyone has the luxury data services globally so GPS is especially useful for travelling, so if there'll ever be an application to make the pre-installed google map save the loaded maps (or simply able to install pre-loaded map) that'll be perfect already.

...just my imagination. as for currect state i think it's fine for me, at least with offline map can browse virtual map and can search street names + places like restaurant/tourist spots/transport etc.

You can use offline maps, but gonna take some work to do it. u need to save google maps as cache and transfer it though SSH, and also make sure don't accidentally deleted from iphone >.<

so basically iPhone 3G does have a GPS receiver in it, right ?

3G/EDGE/GPRS/WIFI is used only to load the google maps, is that correct ?

Lets say there's an offline map for iPhone 3G like Nokia Maps, then we dont need to use the 3G/EDGE/GPRS/WIFI anymore, is that correct ?

yup that's what i'm curious too, Shock do you know if the offline maps can use with the GPS/cell tower triangle positioning as well, without switching on GPRS/EDGE/3G/WIFI?

After some finding, I realised that here in Malaysia, most likely that it is not officially launched in Malaysia yet - we can't get the driving direction function. Tried to get the driving direction for a straight line also not possible in KL area. But when I tried it on Singapore or US map, I can get the driving direction work! In addition, in Malaysia, our searching only limited to landmark or LRT station only. Can't really search for street name etc... Else in Singapore or US map, you can search down to the small street lane. Well have to wait until Iphone officially launch in Malaysia then.

Anyone know how to overcome this, pls advise. Maybe we need to register our App Store account using a Singapore or US credit card?
