technology is up to date in PH... but service isn't, that makes it useless

so the iPhone 4 connects directly to the satellite? mya built in hardware na sya for GPS?

yes. iphone has built in gps receiver.

papago uses a somewhat older version of the roadguide map.

i noticed sygic has more updated maps like the roads in IT park. Sometimes there are no names but at least you see theres a roadway which will help you navigate unfamiliar places. also, i believe google maps have launched a new version wherein you can pre download maps to do away with data connections needed.

Mas better ang locus (pro) compared to google maps since you can set the zoom levels that you want to download to your card. Since google has disallowed the use of google maps by third party apps, you have to download a plugin to enable download of google maps in locus.

For those using Nokia devices, Nokia's OVI maps is very good.

im also using papago i downloaded it sa apptrackr website. at first i was disapointed because the map wont navigate to only at luzon. so i deleted it. later i read again with its description and it has a sample picture of general maxilom avenue on 3d view.

again i tried to install it. i found out that it will take about a minute to determine my current location without the aid of wifi or 3g. pure gps.

now im happy. naa na koy ipasuya sa ako mga migo

Roadguide.PH Contributor's version is now at v2.0!

Unya naa na pod map nga compatible with devices which use Navitel (i.e. iPhone og Android)!

yeah you just gotta need to take the consequence of getting charged monthly.. if you don't want so, just get a smartphone and it will help you a lot...

FYI, there are NO MONTHLY CHARGES with standalone GPS devices like Magellan and Garmin ;D
