Ok, the structure is in opt as someone mentioned earlier.

It has 3 directories
Drive, Maps, Res

Forgive the commands (Windows user here) as I attempt to display the directories. I have taken screencaptures instead.

Thanks cardiff-blues, it looks like they use the same format like for every other platform. Is there a big irl.pak in /home/opt/sygic/Maps/irl ?
How did you get the application? As a single .deb file?

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

So disappointing!! :(
Maybe OVI maps will be our saviour after all.

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

Well like someone mentioned before,
They now have Australian maps listed as available when its released.

So I have no idea, told one thing and I see another. :p

I'm still happy it has Australia listed :D

I also wrote to Sygic asking about Brazil maps and they answer the same thing: as long the phone officially starts to be sold there we will make it available.

I replied mentioning that they commercial advantage is exactly to be the first company to launch Voice Guided GPS SW for N900, which current owners can mostly be classified as Early Adopters. I guess there are many others like me that imported the phone before it sells on their countries. I also completed that they should cash in before Nokia launches Ovi Maps for free.

Judging by today announcement that Ovi Maps services will be free worldwide, BUT no plans for N900 so far, I guess Sygic already knew that...

I really hope I am wrong, but all facts suggest that Sygic will be the ONLY alternative for N900 owners that need a decent GPS guidance SW, at least during this year.

Quick update.
When I was applying some updates to my n900 earlier a sygic one also came down. Over 220 MB. Quick observations and it I think there may be one or two enhancements. Something I don't remember being there under settings was a Radar alert. I'm not sure if that is just a stationary speed camera alert or mobile as well.

I'll test tomorrow to see if I have any further lag issues or other.

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

sygic logic is really twisted if you ask me.
I guess somebody should tell them that navigation is mostly used by people who dont know directions in the area they are in. And when does that happen the most if you are on vacation because then you are in an area that you dont know..

So to say that the N900 must be sold there before it supports it is a wrong assumption/conclusion.

On my E90 i used Nokia/Ovi maps 1.0->3.0 the in many countries and continents over the last 2 - 2.5 years. the usage in my home country is very low compared to the other countries...

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

I couldn't test today because after the update a map update came down this morning and it doesn't successfully load into the application so I have no maps in there at the moment.

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

that's too bad....you should contact sygic and straighten this out...it would be a disaster if this update was pushed to ACTUAL user.
