Papago X5 for Android

[zamad]

Can I search based on coordinates of the locality ? If so, how ?

Other than the 'My List (or Favorites)' menu, you can only search by 'Road Search', 'POI Search' or 'POIs Nearby'. You can't search using coordinates.

Also, can some Bro., out there be kind enough to send me a copy of the User Manual as I could not find a place to download it FOC!!

I can't find any manuals either.

Thank you for your input......if one cannot find a place using coordinate , then I really regret having picked this software to use as this greatly reduces the expected power of a good GPS program.

Too bad......thanks again.

Sygic is also available for Android. But there is no better map than MFM for Msia/Spore.

Maction has now made available online purchase of X5 with Msia/Spore MFM. Costs US$25. I just purchased; hopefully no problems this time. In any case my credit card details went through!

What's the diff betw papago x5 and m7? Seems like both for android phones. Can both use mfm maps?

m7: http://www.papago.com.tw/M7_Web/android/

Here's the Maction link to purchase X5 for Msia/Spore:

I am not sure, but I believe M7 was written essentially in Chinese and caters more for Taiwan. I may be wrong on this.

Thanks jchoong!

So is this USD25 papago x5 the same or later version than the one sold at m3shoppe (RM149)?

I'm specifically looking at installing for HTC Desire (runs froyo 2.2) that I will purchase next month
And then I plan to install the latest mfm map into it (my fav map)

see http://www.m3shoppe.com/index.php?page= ... &Itemid=26

Please please let me know if there's going to be any technical issue. I'm a tech idiot. Thanks.

I think they are the same version. The M3Shoppe production description mentioned it is good for Android 2.2 and below. So it should be compatible with Froyo 2.2. I recall in an earlier version, there was a audio bug when run on Froyo - a clapping sound followed voice navigation.

Thanks. I read the instructions on http://www.mobuy.com.tw. So it seems that they will ship the software installer to your address.

Have you installed and tried? any issue? Are you using andriod 2.1 or 2.2? HTC?

*pai-seh* so many qns.
