Cool features and this is one way for any one trying their hand at mapping the easy way.

NoX

Try this software. The feature is good. Only thing is lack of POI. Imagine u want to go to KLCC, you don't know the address, how u key in to search?


Some POI available, just that its a bit different. during search it will use, Waze, Google and Bing and if any one of these has the POI location you will get it. If not do a map search.

Example below, I just arrive in Tawau earlier, from Airport I search for Belmont Marco Polo, Tawau and its there. KLCC should be better.

BTW, There are also other wazer in Tawau as in the snap shot. Its still new, it tie up with FourSquare as POI, and we know how good the user of FourSquare at reporting POI, very soon it will be full.

Feature that I like most, as soon as you done routing/tracking hit that "send log" it will use either 3g or wifi and instantly it will be updated into your account and displayed as below.

Then you can edit, the surrounding area or create some POI for it. Instant map editing at your finger tip, no need mapedit or anything.

Cloud base mapping is the way to go now, we has to evolve.., no more the old way... sooner or later the PND type map install will be obsolete. Its Mapping Community Payback Time

Tuah, it can be use with or without 3g, without 3g no live update. Precache map with wifi. Currently I am in Tarakan, Indonesia, no 3g here for me it still work. Precache at any wifi and you are set.

Alyem, I find it hard to believe you turn it off after checking traffic info. Because you said your rank is 600.

That need some real serious usage.

The 3g is for live interaction only, no 3g wifi is good and gps is as any navigation device, its a must.
