Another Quick Review for Sygic McGuider v7.71Actually I saw this software long time ago but didn't dare to install it yet until proven to work. Okay my feedback is as follows
- Interface is awesome. Very fast zoom in and out. Definitely beats Garmin hands down.
- Map is
exactly the same map as Garmin's Official Malaysia/Singapore City Navigator NT. How I know? Because I have seen the NT map before. The bad part of it? My house's street is not on the map.... I'm still in undeveloped forest
- Time taken to get a lock... Same like Garmin. Both also 5 seconds or less (with A-GPS)
- POI searching definitely its damn fast. It is immediate response like when you search for a person in your phone book. The moment you type the first alphabet it starts to filter already.
- Bad side of POI? Very little. Actually it is the same as Garmin NT map. Well you can't use MFM/MSM in this software definitely.
- Data usage. Same like Garmin. I checked to use the A-GPS is 6 kb which is 6 cents
Recommended or Not?Actually there is no point using this app except for just as a backup. Its basically the same thing like Garmin XT using Garmin City Navigator map (which sucks because it is not updated).
Cheers.
Btw if I have not mistaken, Sygic Mcguider is more expensive than Garmin XT.
