Voice-guided, turn-by-turn GPS now available for Singapore roads


Mobile Maps Asia - South East - is the first voice-guided, turn-by-turn GPS app for local roads that I've seen. Apart from Singapore, it also covers Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. Produced by Sygic, it costs a pricey US$79.99 but promises no monthly fees or hidden charges. It uses the latest maps by Tele Atlas, downloaded to your device so you won't need to pay for expensive roaming data charges if you are driving overseas.

If I had a car (heck, if I could drive), I would be tempted to buy this. Anyone used this product yet? Is it worth the money?

I emailed to Sygic for some question on the iPhone GPS product more than a week ago and no replies from them. Read the 2 reviews on iTunes regarding this apps and both are pretty negative. I am thinking twice of buying this apps.

Actually, the comments weren't so bad. One person gave it 5 stars!

However, I agree it's disappointing that Sygic did not respond to you.

If you do decide to buy the app, let me know how it goes!
