Interesting. Curious to know what is the technology they are using in this Maemo port (and in th rest of versions).

Sygic announces the compatibility of its Mobile Maps turn-by-turn navigation application with the new Nokia Maemo mobile phones. The application will get ready for sale from Sygic web site e-shop by the end of 2009.

And it THAT easy to create a gps app. because they say "end of 2009". so wheres Tomtom, a decent Ovi Maps, Garmin... i mean am gonna pay for it!!! JUST WANT TO SPEND SOME CASHHH!

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

I suggest we all ask those companies whether they will support Maemo.
Does anybody know their email adresses or phone numbers for such inquiries?

TomTom is based on Linux, so it should not be difficult to port it.

Sygic Drive for Symbian is amazing application with very good maps. If the maemo port is as good as that and cheap, it will surelly be the first application for maemo I will buy.

Huzzah!!!!

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

Well, we shall see if this app uses all that Fremantle has to offer or is just a "pound to fit and paint to match" port.

I rarely use turn by turn as 98% of my driving is over the same ol' routes. Real time traffic input and re-routing capabilities is what I do need.

It is good to see commercial software becoming available. :)

Thanks for the heads up Titan

Nothing can beat Google LIVE traffic update, satellite image layer, street layer, and STREET NAMES announcement.....EVEN TOM TOM don't have street name announce?? That's not good.

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

We get it - you like Google Navigation Software. I doubt they'll be in a hurry to produce a maemo version.

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

We have Google live traffic layer now in Maemo Mapper. I use it everyday with my 810 and before that an N800 with a Holux BT GPS.

Nothing beats an app that dynamically re-routes if the live traffic information warrants it.

...But most of all, nothing beats an OS that allows you to build an app yourself. :)
