Let me start...

At the junction between Upper Bukit Timah Road (Jalan Anak Bukit) and Dunearn Road, when my bus turn left using filter lane into Dunearn Rd, the MapKing 3D July 13 Mapdata fail to show it using the filter lane, instead it was shown turning left with a sharp 90 degrees....sigh... :grin:

I dont' recall major issues with previous versions (KMv2, KMv7 3D), what gives?

Have you tried StreetDirectory paid service to direction? 0.63 dollar for a destination. Given that MapKing price is S$129, we can query ~200 routes using streetdirectory, and it is guaranteed with best topology maps.

This is a good alternative.

Having read existing threads on MapKingv7 3D, there is another serious error on the software:

1. Transfer between expressway is not indicated
If you have to 'cross' to another expressway from your currect expressway, it will not indicate any voice or visual notification. You'll assume that you have to go straight, and after 50-100 meters, you'll know that you have deviated.

Example:
Orchard Road to Cisco Center (Paya Lebar, Jalan Afifi).

Recomended route is via Bideford Road -> CTE -> PIE (Changi/Paya Lebar) -> Destination. When I was on CTE and there was a sign branch to exit/transfer to PIE, the software did not indicate anything but a straight line with its 3D view. So I followed the CTE and have to make a long way back to enter PIE. A 20 minutes trip became 45 minutes.

Example:
Cisco Center to Orchard Road

Recommended route is PIE -> CTE -> Orchard. On exit to CTE from PIE, it doesn't indicate to exit expressway or stay on the middle.

2. Bad spelling
Cisco Center is not found, but there is 'SISCO' center instead. I bet they use 'HuaWei' so not familiar with Cisco :-)

3. ERP
Please implement option to avoid ERP

Example:
Using the above Cisco Center to Paterson Road, from PIE->CTE->Cairnhill->Grange Road->Paterson Road. There is a way to avoid ERP using PIE->CTE->Scott Road->Paterson Road.

The disctance? just different by 0,5 KM.

4. HDB Error
Has been mentioned in other threads

Edit
Just cosmetic on headings

5. Names
Incomplete names

Example:
National University Hospital is not there, but all POI just have 'National University'

6. Illegal U-turn
If you miss a route, it will ask for u-turn. some u-turn has been restricted. So if you did, you'll violate the law.

EastGear, Hope this will be fixed shortly and I'll get a copy. I'm using an evaluation copy now.

Routing does not allow traffic from Upper Serangoon Rd proceeding southwards to turn right into Bartley Rd. This is wrong.
