Ruennchai 1st Gear May 3, 2012 Share May 3, 2012 I'm using the Waze apps also, really interesting, responsive and the best thing is it provides the real time traffic info. And IT IS FREE! Must try! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazdaowner Moderator May 4, 2012 Share May 4, 2012 If you have spare android phone, consider using android GPS navi apps. Quite okay to me. i am a fan of Tomtom maps. Somehow i got used to their graphic user interface. Not another damn android phone! I had enough of hanging, restarting as it is already. There doesn't seem to be one that can actually match up to my usage, let alone use as a GPS, imagine, driving half way, it decides to restart!

What if there is incoming call, will the phone cut off the GPS? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic May 4, 2012 Share May 4, 2012 What if there is incoming call, will the phone cut off the GPS? Use Nokia Ovi Map. No cut off when incoming call. Not bad leh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily1986 5th Gear May 4, 2012 Share May 4, 2012 What if there is incoming call, will the phone cut off the GPS? GPS app pushed to background and Dialer gains focus you can configure Sygic to keep GPS enabled even when focus on Sygic is lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There doesn't seem to be one that can actually match up to my usage, let alone use as a GPS, imagine, driving half way, it decides to restart! don't know about 'droid but Navfone on iphone gets pushed to the background if there is an incoming call. I can still hear directions coming from the phone while I have a phone conversation using the car bluetooth. Once call is done, the app comes back to foreground automatically. Not bad for a 2$ app I think. Found it reasonably quick and accurate as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used a tablet, then the S and also tried out the S2, kept hanging and restarting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shor 1st Gear May 4, 2012 Share May 4, 2012 Iphone apps cost like $20+ for SG/Thailand/MY maps. UK maps $30+ Garmin every bloody map must PAY! No more free updates. I'm using Garmin, not very accurate either. Use map and compass better. Actually brand wise, I think when talking about GPS, Garmin will be first to mention. I myself use Marbella for quite some time already, so far so good. MalSing map and one of your choice free. Free update . But sometimes the searching for satelite is a little slow, so need to "restart" in order for it to work again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shor 1st Gear May 4, 2012 Share May 4, 2012 Apparently yes. Its support is very efficent too. I think the nick tells. Maka works for Maka? But to be frank, Maka works well for me too. Especially the Thailand part, fantastic except for the off-road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used a tablet, then the S and also tried out the S2, kept hanging and restarting. bro. Just tried it once again. The voice prompts from Navfone didn't work when i had it connected with a wired headset and when a call was received. Ofcourse, it returned back to the app and the correct route with voice prompts once the call was finished. Just that there was no voice prompts in the background during a call. But it worked when phone was connected with my car bluetooth. Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No calls this morning though, but I'm wondering if there is a way to upgrade my garmin to the present Sg map without having to pay cut throat prices.

With the garmin, I thought you can use open source maps? Don't know anything about it though... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think got open source. Anyway, let it be till I find something better, besides I don't even use the GPS that often, 90% it's in the glove compartment.

Just go to Malsing, download n copy to ur SD card under F:\Garmin\ folder. I just did it for my antique Nuvi 200. Will be using it to go Port Dickson n Melaka next week. Need anything from Melaka, let me know. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
