Looking through all your post, we thank you for your support and rest assure that we are doing every thing to ensure a smooth
transition of all version of Papago below X8.5.
MFM community leaders are spending their precious free time to compile these maps and given free to all users, for that, we
truely appreciate these efforts. As such, in order not to put non-map related issue to be posted on this forum, we welcome
your email to
support@m3gps.com.
As such, this will be the last post we will response here. We welcome your email to
support@m3gps.comMap compilation is not a click and run affair. There are many work involved in tweaking and also work around , coding
and also many communication , meeting , consulation with Maction engineer to match the maps data and the software.
In fact, it is many hours of work which MFM senior has contribute their time selflessly for the benefit of users like yourself.
Maybe you are not aware, Since X3, there are many changes in various functionalities and also improvement.Each changes
require changes on map internal data structure. And as times goes by, the map files size has also increased. As such, it
is our wish to address these issues head on to ensure that all Papago perform to the same specification for ease of
support for the future. Current X8.5 maps file size has reduce drastically, and it will be further reduce overtime to ensure
that the performance are not affected due to large map file.
Unlike other brand G, one can not upgrade the firmware. That resulted in those bought earlier do not have new features
like JV ...etc While Papago is providing upgrade across the board to all users of Papago as publish in
http://support.m3gps.com/This shows that Papago is committed to provide the same features to all users irrespective whether those units are
bought years ago. , instead of the need to buy a new unit in order to have new features., as Papago navtgational features
are not tie to the hardware devices.
Let us also clarify. Todate, There is no charge to the cost of the software. These software are provided Free of Charge.
The charges that quote here in
http://support.m3gps.com/ are for dealer /resellers' charges ie Service Charges
Rendered.., as such, M3GPS is not making any profit from these upgrade exercise at all.
Lastly, to answer your question
1. We are trying our best to release the M8 before mid of November if not earlier
2. As much as possible we would like to provide it as download as well, and we are still working on this. Please email
