they're working on it.

So it will probably be in the next update to Sygic 10?

Anyway after all the hype Sygic is pretty much useless for me, as the one thing that I actually cared about is not very good. The routing algo.

I'll be sticking to my N95 8gb for the time being.

Yes, sometimes it calculates the route in a very weird way, but for most of the cases it does what I expect. SMM9 is a newly ported release and some bug fixing should be done - seems to be normal for me...

Looks nice, but is it really so that zoom in button is just below close button in default mode where you can see upper part of window.

If so it reminds me about blog what i recently read :)

So basic notes for UI designer.

.edit
Means: "Do not put Eject seat button and lights on button close to each other" :P

A couple questions about sygic maps before I can buy it. I have searched all over the forums but have not found an answer so far.

1) how much space does the installed program need (i suppose it depends on the region... I am interested in europe atm)? I see that the download is 1.8GB, and i have little more than that free. If it is much more then that I will have to buy an SD card first.

2) can I buy both europe and US regions? how much will that cost? how much space will that use up? I will probably buy europe first, but if I am happy with it I could be buying the US as well soon.

Cost and other info is here:

You're good with the free space for Europe. Then you gonna need additional 1.3GB for USA.

Planning on purchasing this software, but the only thing that is stoppin me is the traffic alerts? will the future update include any traffic info? (me being in new york, traffic could be a bit#h) so that's one of my necessity)

thanks!

Ask here, support@sygic.com
I have no such option here in Poland, so it's hard to say for me...but when the additional functions unlocked, there is a traffic icon though.
