I think its not supported in certain countries. Not supported in my country too.

That's correct. Rather than listen to unhappy users about lack of updates, Google simply disable the navi, except for US, France, UK and few other countries.

For us Russell, there is a way to unlock the Malaysian maps and have proper Garmin like navigation. Tho as said above, not all will be up to date.
But if you were to go from Ampang to PJ, I'm sure you would reach the destination without problem. Challenge could be with small and new roads around the new developments. Even the updated Garmin maps, still show my Desa Parkcity as a field of grass, even tho we have bunch of roads here

Anyway, if you want to play around and unlock Malaysia and Singapore maps, check the following link:
[APPMOD][07.11.10] Brut Google Maps 4.6.0.4686-brut17 - xda-developers

best regards

Hey Seba,

Already downloaded the APK. Just a quick question. After installing, it will crack the Navi app and get it to work here, or is it a totally new Navi app that works here?

I actually put that Navigation Icon in my homescreen just because it looks nice there . Making it useful would be great.

Thanks
