Papago gps good?

[Nlatio]

The 1xxx series seemed to have problem with some icons not showing with maps from mfm.

 

 

It is probably due to the new way Garmin software works, while mfm maps are using 3rd party compiler.

 

Unless you want to use msm map compiled with Garmin compiler, then you should not have such problem.

 

For best compatibility, get the 2xx series.

 

Noted with thanks bro.... will go talk to them... maybe compare compare with Holux one...

Bro, is ur papago using the new M3GPS X5 SE software? It should be quite fast..I bought wayway 4301 using papago software by eastgear at the IT show in march..Till now, no problem with routes..When go wrong route, it re-plot in seconds..quite fast..I also like the text to speech feature..

 

eh my frd one not mine.. so i never ask the model, will ask if i manage to meet him

The device is only as good as the map. Although I used Garmin, I don't think Papago is that bad. Perhaps he didn't know how to use it properly or got the latest updated map.

 

maybe.. i never used papago before so i can't judge.. just saying what my friend experienced

Good news to those Garmin owners. The latest Garmin CN map of Sg/My 2010.20 has a comprehensive data base of postal codes and addresses in Singapore. I have tested it and I believe it is as good as the SLA postal codes and addresses data that is bundled with other brands of GPS devices sold locally.

 

I read from somewhere that Garmin users are limited to two free upgrade or something? there after is chargeable, right?

Hi all,

 

Let me tell u my story... last sunday 22/08/10 i went to Challenger funan n brought a papago gps R6100.

 

This is the worse gps i ever use, from my house i key in my work place n set go... guys u know what happen

 

when i reach my office the signal was not yet connected to the satellite! Oh great its about 15min drive!!

 

What a rubbish papago gps (i try for 3days). So i went back to challenger n complain about this issue, they let

 

me change for other brand so i got the gamin gps just yesterday. Guys its gd!! fast satellite connection. easy to

 

use love it! The best is challenger will let me exchange again if this gamin is not working too but within 7 days.

If your navi hasn't receive GPS signal and you start to move, it will take a long long time to get a fix as it will keep searching for the strongest satellite signals. This applies to all navis.

What I understand is that on first using the gps it takes awhile to logon but once it does the subsequent times will be faster. I have a garmin nuvi 255w and a papago with m3 software and i find papago a bit laggy but map wise its very accurate and easier to use than the garmin. I also like the 3D features of the papago.

I dont know i find that the gamin is better cos that papago really cant make it... take more than 15min to connect the satellite??? if this the case what for i buy gps... haha!!

 

This is what happen to me sorry for those who think papago is gd

Go for Garmin, its the no. 1 leader in GPS. I bought my Garmin 1350 with live traffic receiver for $179 from this seller: www.bestbuyelec.com. I absolutely love it. Lots of good reviews on this seller online. Hope this helps someone!

The Papago X5 that is running on my android phone, the routing sucks... Garmin is better.

[E052798]

R5800 is old model. i had it since 2009.

Routing is no problem, satelite lock on is abit slower but no issue at all.

i used it regularly in SG and Msia, very good experience for past 2yrs+

 

there's a very active forum online supporting Malfreemap which run in this R5800. Msia maps updates are very well done.

 

only thing is, i don't think this model is around anymore?

f this papa-o...i bought z one few days back..knn drove from vivo back to punggol..still no satelite.

 

ok..i "blame" my car for the sunshade maybe...i took off my sunshade..knn still no satelite.

 

finally my luck is good this today..satelite working thus i try to drive from punggol to sentose...knn....lost satelite in tunnel...while i m reaching the junction of "ECP (CITY) OR ECP(CHANGI).............F! Luckily i already knw the road and just testing...

 

cant imagine i am using it in malaysia or thailand!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........

 

Given almost 4 days to chance to give this gps to "perform"...but it really cmi.

Although frankly speaking...i really loves and prefer papa-o map layout and Smart search function. It realllysoooooooo sweet and good..

But what the use if the map and function is so nice but it ..CANT WORKS!!!??

 

Hope i can do a exchange to garm-n tomorrow.
