Is the intention not to use it for updates (when any become available) though? I assumed they'd just not finished developing/testing the updates yet.

I don't know, if they want to use this repository for updates, but currently it's NOT used for the updates.

First to answer the question from the other thread. They're looking into lower the volume of the music from the media player and not pause it. But that isn't so easy.

I'm quoting:

Quote:

Sygic is using pulseadio to playing sounds, and I think, there is possibility to play only one sound at time - you request permissions for playing (what means stop playing other sounds), then you play sound, then you release permissions (other sounds may play).
But as I said, sound playing will be redesign, someday...

What does that mean? Sygic is using pulseaudio to play the sounds, like the mediaplayer. With pulseaudio it isn't possible to play two sounds at one time. (If anyone have a idea, you're VERY welcome). You can test it by open lets say glTron and then open the mediaplayer. Sound from glTron will stop as soon as your music starts. After that test the same thing with glTron and SuperTux. There it is possible because they're using a different system, afaik.

The update should come really soon. The programmer is currently waiting to get the approval to put the new version into the repository.
Therefore I have to correct myself. The repository provided in this thread is meant for updates.

Have fun!

Same version here as well, with Map Version 7.80 and can't find any POI's as others do.

I think it is possible, it's just Nokia's implementation doesn't allow for it. I believe that's one of PulseAudio's benefits over ALSA. Though I'm afraid I can't help since I don't know much about PA or ALSA (just what I've read).

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo

I read the first 10 pages and the last 10 pages. All interesting stuff but so much to read and I cant make sense of it all.

Can anyone please advise is this a good product?
Am I likely to rip my tomtom out and replace it with the n900?
Would someone kindly summarise the problems (if any).
I am in the UK and need detailed european maps with turn by turn, camera points and updates, does this product provide for this?
Anyone tell me the resource usage: on-disk, in-memory, battery drain etc?
What about sound muting between calls?

Sorry if I am in the wrong thread and for all the questions but any guidance would be helpful.

Cheers
