Yes please! As you say, it's quite an expensive app, so the more feedback we can read, the better. Presumably you're feeding this back to Sygic as well, so they can try and fix some of these issues?

I think the "lag" isn't Sygic's fault since Ovi Maps is also 10-50m behind the real position all the time.

It must be some sort of delay between GPS-driver -> program which parses the info and displays it on the screen.

I'm going to buy this program as soon as it's available via Sygic's Shop. I've used Sygic in the past with my E90 & N97 :)

I just got an update from Sygic:

Hello,

I would like to inform you that Sygic will be available very soon. You will need to purchase whole product because it is not compatible with any other OS.

Thank you for contacting support and for your interest in our products.

Best regards

Quick update:
Performed to short (2 mile) journeys today and didn't have any lag. I am reporting the problems I find to Sygic.

What I do like about it is that once you get used to the screens it is quick and easy to use. If I have a few more trouble free journeys then I would conclude that the lag may be a gps issue as the previous poster has mentioned.

I will post back with further info as acquired.

Do you have an external buetooth GPS to test it with? Maybe that removes the lag?

Hi Robbie
No I don't have another gps to test with unfortunately. Does anyone know of an app used for testing the gps for problems and drop-outs?
