Ya.. But i thought tomtom map & Sygic is the same.. As, both map is provided by Tele Athlas... I still think that our local maping community malsing, malfree etc.. cover the most complete map...

seriously..bro...try it out and updated in forum how it works...

I did a plenty of steps for Malfreemap POI conversion into Sygic, mainly importing from the map and mapping POI categories to Sygic-like categories. To cut short, I have created files to be installed under the following folders in Sygic app:

upi files under var/mobile/Applications/<app id>/<Sygic app>/map/mys
bmp files under var/mobile/Applications/<app id>/<Sygic app>/res/icons

Note :
1. Rename sygicMfmPoi.jpg to sygicMfmPoi.rar, and extract
2. To install, SSH into ur IPhone, or use DiskAid
3. Start Sygic app, then select "Manage POI", then select "View/Hide POI", u'll see the new POIs with "2" behind the name eg "Food2". I added "2" to differentiate it from default POIs.

I only use v1.62 map as v.1.6.3 map onwards uses Garmin NT format which can no longer be converted to text-based MP file. I don't convert road POIs and smaller POIs, only important POIs.

I Hope Malfreemap guys won't mind if I post it here For starters, list of gas stations, banks, and restaurants.

@edwinlcw

Congrats. You're alternative way will get you some holiday.

You're noted for piracy discussion to all mods.

did anyone knows...if i phone for finding mlaysia map using what application? is it will charge??

yeah definitely. it will need the connection of your gprs/edge/3g or wifi to function.
it aint like garmin where everything is stored inside the app itself.

i have garmin...but iphone ist 1 to charge??how many ist? but garmin is free of usage 1...

first of all, any questions on GPS usage should be posted HERE

do make a search before opening new threads.

next, only apps such as Sygic, TomTom (not available for Asia region yet) for iPhone are similar to Garmin when comes to non-additional data charges while utilizing their GPS routing function.

data usage will only incur for the Maps application when the routing function is used (loading maps), or when triangulating your current position in places where satellite signal is not available. other than that, it's free.

I tried Sygic during the holidays

Travel frm KL to Desaru without any problem and my car have V-Kool as well

Signal was strong throughout even in small town like Kulai

The voice were clear (American voice) and once i went to a different direction altogether, the Sygic were quick to reroute me

So i am more than OK with the system

yours worked even with V-KOOL tint? mine refused to lock to satellite (and determines my current location) even after 15 minutes. but it managed to lock in a short time in another car without V-KOOL.

just bought the sygic. tomorrow going to try it to drive from MLK to KL to see how it perform.

pls let us know the results... i'm still trying to decide whether to splurge my $$ on sygic

yesterday bought it after my post above, my 1st impression was, wow within 10seconds signal lock inside my room. If you said that the POIs is not enough, well, for me i think is more than enough even the new petrol station that built on late last year also there... going out to town right now at melaka see how it goes, will reply here again with my experience.

I wonder if anyone had actually tried out my POIs ...

Sygic for KL down town is ok. But in pj or Subang pretty oudated.

I try out Sygic in Penang and I found out the route is not so good. Compare to Garmin, the route recommendation by Garmin is very good and normally use common route. Sygic still point you to the destination but I can't agree with the turns it recommended.

It is all about the map issue.. Not on features etc.. Again.. official local map provider like malsingmaps for Garmin rules.. As u know la.. they only do Malaysia & SG map.. sure to be very updated ! Our only hope is that Apple allow Garmin format in iphone..
