Agreed with Keong that this is a good step forward for Papago. Hope they are able to mount some serious effort on improving its user interface as mentioned by some users here. I'm not a Papago user but is aware that there are many variants of its navigation software/firmware that sounds like horror stories to Mappers. Standardization of this important item will bring much cheers to both its Users and Mappers.

Anywhere to get a cheap Papago?.... :) ... maybe I should get one to start learning and contribute to its progress since they are our one and only Partner.... :D

Garmin is better
The first gps I use is map60cx for My work, now I just bought a papago 6100 for my fatheinlaw to use,
I found is papago is easy to use. but something papago don't have but Garmin have all.
I mean for the function (menu) Now I had a 2nd Garmin nuvi3790 I love it so much.
something I can't tell u,u have to use after u will know the different.

Which is better ? That depends on your needs, perceptions, and what you want to get out of owing a GPS.
