Papago - M3gps Consultant - V1

[weewee]

Hi, I've just updated my R6600 via webupdater to X9 from X8.5. But I realise the SLA map doesn't show up in the map switch. I can only select either MFM or navigasi map. Even the Thailand map doesn't appear in the map switch. As my R6600 comes with TMC, I'd like to use SLA map. Anyway to fix it or I need to wait for the X9 version of SLA map to be out?

M3gps, any update on my question? I need postal code search feature of SLA map also. Thanks.

just tested the M9

the program work fine on my sumsung galaxy S2 version 2.3.6

but there are side effect

1) use more power for 30min use drain 25% power

2) phone will feel warm after 30min use

Hi tlchuan,

I am not sure about this S2. But actually the unit warm very fast also due to phone issue http://www.android.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-s2/63564-samsung-galaxy-s2-battery-problem.html

I am using HTC Desire S but do not come with this issue. Maybe you may want to consult Samsung on this.

All GPS's map is not 100% beautiful and complete. road always changed! and so on... Sometime we need to be smart, that all..

For feedback new track/map U can visit here for more info viewforum.php?f=8

Quite disappointed with your answer and your logic. Imagine you are a foreigner in Malaysia for the first time , and have no idea where Digital Mall is ( someone recommended you to go to Digital Mall to buy some IT products ) and am using a commercial GPS which i paid good money for, the least i expect the map to show a famous landmark in PJ like Digital Mall. We are not talking about some obscure building in Gua Musang my friend. So don't give me that crap about maps being not 100% beautiful or sometimes we need to be smart. If the map is no good just say it and lets improve it.
Its just that i am disappointed with the maps as supplied with the M9 package which i think is still not as good as google maps as evidenced by my example about Digital Mall.
Anyway i think i have made my point.

What are you talking about?
I'm also using Papago M9 on a Galaxy Note.

The building in your map as shown is indicated as AECO Technologies ( M ) Sdn Bhd in the M9. Please check before you post.

Last time I also first time to Norway, and friend also recommend me somewhere like ur case, I use garmin, papago and Igo, I cannot find it, den I google it, and founded, den be smart, take down the coordinate at google, den insert in ur GPS and u founded it!

The map is not produced by Papago, the map is produced by MFM, please take note! Whole world map is not 100% completed too! we need be smart like wat I did in Norway!

I have just installed Papago M9 on my Galaxy note.
I was looking for the Digital Mall in section 14 as a landmark on the map but could not find it.
Why is this so and why is it not shown on the map as Digital Mall instead of some other.

I was also searching for Jalan Hijau in Kajang and could not find it. But i could find it so easily on the Google Maps.

Its very strange. Would appreciate some answers.
What am i doing wrong. ? Or are the Google maps having more detail.

Cheers

Hi Herojam,

We have tested the original map inside the installer of M9. "Digital Mall" no doubt is already inside.

Step by step to get the Digital Mall POI (Point Of Interest)

1) Start M9 SEA
2) Click on "POI Search"
3) Click on the text field
4) Key-in "Digital Mall"
5) Click "DONE"
6) Click "OK"
7) Click "Search"
8) Click on "Digital Mall" with Selangor, Petaling Jaya
9) You will be pointed to the location
10) Click on "GO"
11) If you were to follow the direction by the M9 SEA, you will see the below photo. It means you are arriving at the Digital Mall.

Hi admin, no updated maps for X9?

This is the latest map for X8.5-X9. Although the title mentioned X8.5, it can use for X9 too.

U need report the coordinate to mapper to implement the name, I saw it, but no have name there, But u can search "Jalan Hijau 1" there is result, Jalan Hijau is at upper road which no name.

I find it strange that i have to report a famous landmark in PJ after buying the M9. If i was a tourist and someone told me to look for Digital Mall in PJ and i happen to have the Papago GPS on my phone, i should be able to locate this building quite easily don't you agree. Thats what GPS is all about. I'm not looking for some obscure place.

Anyway thanks for the reply and appreciate you taking time out to reply to my query. BTW how do i relay the coordinates back to the the mapper.

Cheers

Hi pc-ox,

Thanks for the assistance.

Hi ravindra,

Sorry for the frustration. Let me explain on the M9 SEA and MalFreeMaps position.

M9 SEA is a navigation software developed by Maction Technologies Inc from Taiwan and it is distributed by M3 Asia Sdn Bhd, in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia & Thailand. With M9 alone, it will not show to the world how efficient it is. M9 needs a very powerful map to be working correctly.

As for MalFreeMaps, it is a community project to create a FREE map for the entire Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. The mappers in MalFreeMaps get no salary. They do not like the other FAMOUS GPSs Mappers all around the world eg NavTeq & Tele Atlas whom get salaries every month.

The coordinate, lines of roads, Point of interests (POI), etc etc etc are all contributed by the community whom also do not get any cent from it.

When no one is paying for the contribution, it is also means no one is getting paid. That is why everyone may get the map and download with Free of Charge.

Incomplete map happens all around the world. So do Google maps.

A lot of the mappers, mostly everyone, hate that if their own hardwork being copied and claimed by other parties which belong to theirs. That is why mapper do not copy other sources to complete their maps. This is considered plagiarism.

As for certain places and roads could not be found in MalFreeMaps but found in Google maps or other GPS maps. Then we require to obtain the coordinate from those maps and transfer to the M9. This is a BIG change to M9. Whereby searching with coordinate by using mobile phone GPS navigation system. Like-wise, some people found that MalFreeMaps has certain Point of Interests which could not be found in other maps. Then they will copy the coordinate to the other GPSs or Google maps to reach the destination.

As you have mentioned Digital Mall could not be found. But it is already being inside the maps which has been tested by me personally. As for the step by step guide you may want to check on this post:
http://www.malfreemaps.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=11726&p=175807#p175807




Of course, when there is no perfect human kind, how are we gonna to create a perfect map. But we human try to be perfect. So do MalFreeMaps mappers doing their best to update the maps every month and everyone can download it for free. They, mappers also doing their best effort to create a complete map.

So what if you are a foreigner? Few Japanese students using GPS not sure "whom created" map in Australia and ended up washing their rented car with sea water.

A perfect navigation system without map, it is nothing. Same goes to if the world best navigation map does not used by any navigation system, it is also nothing.

Both require to be balanced in order to be functioning properly.

Hope the above clarifies everyone doubts and Thank you very much to MalFreeMaps for the monthly update with ZERO cost to the public with no contract & agreement.
