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

1st post for me. Have been looking at this forum for a while gaining lots of info, tips and tricks. Thanks to all.

Back to thread...

Any UK users of Sygic, can you search for addresses using full postcode? I can't find anything referring to this on the Sygic website.

Any answers appreciated.

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

Yes you can!

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

+1 - although not quite yet.

Google maps, mms & video calling missing.

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

google maps in the browser with the gps plugin. mms using fmms and video calling in msn will come soon again, in google talk it's already there...

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

which gps plugin? thanks!

[QUOTE=zehjotkah;571705]google maps in the browser with the gps plugin./QUOTE]

Not quite the same as the real java app - which I do have working using the embedded JRE but it's still not the real deal.

It's not bad, but it's not very good no integration with conversations, among many other flaws - not much the developer can do without Nokias support.

Not that video calling - I mean video calling over 3G - not via Gtalk, MSN or anything else.


Oh and how do I turn the annoying start screen of this Sygic? I saw it a few pages ago but can't seem to find it anymore - it was a command line parameter like: -something=false

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

I bought Sygic this morning and tried to download the installatie file since then. Unfortunately no luck yet. Hope Sygic will improve their infrastructure...

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

Does Sygic Mobile Maps on N900 have spoken street names? (text-to-speech)

Also, can you get female English voices?

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

I finally bought the product!.....I couldn`t hold it any more!.....I got TWO product licenses through email in two separate emails from a single purchase.How strange is that!

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

You can send me one if you want. :D

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

HI,

I need 2 regions and I have a doubt. Did anyone here purchased 2 regions for example Europe+Brazil?

Thanks

Why do we get Mobile Maps 9 (v7.71) when all other systems (WM, Android, Symbian) already have MM 10 (v8.x) or even Aura?

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

Am I being a bit dim? I've uploaded maps and all sorts, but how do I actually install and run the program?

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

Sygic said N900 will get Aura also. Not sure about MM 10 though.

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

yes, Aura and MM10 will be also, soon...

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

click on SetupMobileMaps.deb in your file manager. After installing, icon for Mobile Maps will apear

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

Found it "SetupMobileMaps" in the root of the memory card.

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

not yet, but will have...

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

Can we expect a free upgrade to MM10 (Aura is a different thing)?

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

Does it works fine without AGPS (cause fix is very bad in Maps) ?

Thx

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

any way to get this running in full screen?
thanks

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

Nope. Definitely doing something wrong. When I open the assistant app in Windows it allows me to select a drive that corresponds to the SD card on the phone. I "install" the voices and maps that I want and then disconnect and go to the file browser in the phone. From there I can run the SetupMobileMaps.deb file and the application appears to install. But when I run the application it opens, thinks for a second and then disappears immediately. Any ideas anyone?

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

The quality of the GPS fix is a hardware issue & won't be improved!

If it takes a long time to get a fix without AGPS in Nokia Maps, it will take the same amount of time under Sygic.

I hope Sygic is intelligent about dealing with a poor quality GPS fix. For instance, hopefully it doesn't freak out and immediately start recalculating crazy routes when the position starts hopping around.

But it is working with exactly the same raw data that Nokia Maps receives.

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

earlier in this thread people reported segfault if they installed to an expansion card.
try using the built in 32GB

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

That means move the Drive, Res and Maps directories?

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

I would imagine so. I don't have it to confirm.
but if the application is expecting it in a certain place then I can understand why they may have let this bug through.

try it and see ;-)

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

ok, but where is this line i need to change?

thanks.

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

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

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

use leafpad editor to edit .ini files

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

and what can I edit for "rotation" of the screen and full version ?

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

Ok.. Bought it, installed it and used it.. and it works. I used it today to go to work (about 10km) when I started mobile maps in my car it got a gps fix (I have A-gps on) in a few seconds. Calculating route took like 1-2 seconds (amazingly fast). And it got me to work :)

One thing I noticed is that the postion lags behind.. but this is not the programs fault, but the phones as it does this in the ovi maps also.. atleast in my device.

And also I found the map colors to look a llittle bit "oldish" for my taste :P but that's just me.. I like the colors in the ovi maps better :)

But all in all. Good app. Have to test some more on longer trips and see how it goes.

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

yes, upgrade will be free, just like for other platforms

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

Now that the Sygic system finally is released for N900, I would appreciate if somebody could put this into perspective with the long hoped for Ovi Maps for N900. I realize many people need or want Sygic now, but would free Ovi Maps (when finally released for N900) make Sygic unnecessary? Also, I've read different things about the relationship between Sygic and Nokia. Any clarifications appreciated. Thanks!

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

Now all we need is the Continental US to be supported and I can finally retire my old GPS

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

for rotation and a lot more functions:
just rename your menu.ini to anything else, like menuold.ini.
the menu.ini is located in N900/drive/maemo/

for fullscreen version you have to edit another .ini file.. read some posts above..
