MFM (MalFreeMap) has decided to hold on the Papago’s map for the time being due to :
Dear MFM members and guests,
We were informed that our MFM-Papago 100415 map were re-engineered to make into Falome map. Our mapping team consider this action a serious breach of MFM intellectual property. Based on majority decison, we decided to stop our MFM-Papago releaseuntil the following conditions are satisfied:
- That MCL removes the map named “FaLomeMap-150410-part(1 to 4)” from its website from its website until the resolution of this issue
- That Maction Technologies, Inc clarifies in writing how our MFM-Papago map could be reverse-engineered to be used by another unrelated product by an unrelated company
- That Maction Technologies, Inc makes a written commitment that there will be no further breach of MFM intellectual property
- That no party or entity is holding a threat of legal action on Malfreemaps or its key members arising from any map release and its related online discussions.
I have to say that it’s a major bad news for all of the iPhone Papago users!
Oh ya, also all the dedicated Papago GPS unit user too!
Buy Garmin! >.<
