I just purchased a viewpad 7 running on android 2.2, bought it coz its almost 45% cheaper now and its 7" and has GPS and AGPS and 3G Wifi.

Using Papago X5 however, malfreemaps version 100415 is 2009, so its outdated. In addition, the directions given is more of a scenic route (much longer) even if you select shortest route option.

7" GPS is a really handy tool.

Can you confirm if it runs fully on TTS or just partially or not at all while routing is in operation?

Why are you still using an outdated map released in 2010 (not 2009 lah!)? :ko: :ko: :ko: That map was released 14 months ago. The latest map is the 110802, released earlier this month. :thumbsup:

I just purchased a viewpad 7..
I would have expected the map preloaded into the Viewpad to be a couple of months' old, certainly not archive material. :mrgreen:
