GPS for Iphone 2g

Well, this is my iPhone 2g. I have been using for the last 2.5yrs and still never get bored yet. I believe this is how Apple succeed. Compare to today's iPhone 4g, nothing to ouu, ahh.... no retina display, no 3G, no GPS and so on. Yet, this old gorgeous still beats other phones in term aesthetic and usability. Just look at the solid 1-piece Al back casing.





Recently, I found a way to make my iPhone 2g to function as standalone GPS. How?
Roqy Bluetooth is the answer. This application software will enable my Holux Bluetooth GPS receiver (more info here) to communicate with my iPhone.


I am using Papago M7 Pro GPS navigation software (can be purchased via iTunes Store for US19.90) with Malfreemap (Singapore and Malaysia maps). Somehow every software designed for iPhone is so simple to use, no complicated menu.







I have been using Mapking 2007 (WM version) for few years now. I found Papago got few advantages over Mapking 2007;
a) Supports Junction View
b) Special tool to provide great estimation to make turn (i.e. those green dots on the last photo)
c) 3D landmarks
d) Very fast routing/rerouting calculation
e) Better GUI
f) Better graphic
g) Relatively easy to use
