There seems to be problems with the release of Papago M8 by M3Asia. The following is posted in their website:

Android & Windows Mobile Versions
PAPAGO! M8 will be released to support compatible Android and Windows Mobile devices. PAPAGO! M8 maps for Android and Windows Mobile are compatible with PAPAGO! X8.5 version.

I was told to wait for M9 for android - release end of this month.
So no point trying to hack the problems with installing M5 or M8. :x

I am tried of reading all the instructions and following them and then it doesnt work. :frus:
Better just wait or get a papago device... :-)
:peace:

My copy of M8 is Engine Version M8 Build: Jul 27, 2011. It is for MY/SG.


Do I have to pay for M8 MY/SG ver.? Cause i downloaded the Chinese ver. which is believe is Taiwan ver. for free in Market.

The 2 versions of M8 are not compatible - in terms of maps used. I got my M8 at the IT Show in Spore last year, but after that I found it was never officially launched in MY/SG. I guess M9 is the one to wait for.

    TW App: Free
    TW Map: Not Free
    TW App can use TW map? Y
    TW App can use MY/SG map? N

    MY/SG App: Not Free
    MY/SG Map: Free
    MY/SG App can use TW map? N
    MY/SG App can use MY/SG map? Y

Basically Papago does not want you to use the TW app in MY/SG. Otherwise how will they make money?
