I've got one I used to use with my Palm - I'll give it a shot this evening (if the download completes by then).

if I connect BT GPS with N900, it will use this GPS instead of internal GPS, or how it works?

For external GPS....you need to probably go deep ( through SSH on the menu.ini) .So far I cannot see an option to change the GPS to an external one, but there are some options in the menu.ini or settings.ini if I`m correct.

yes, and if you delete or rename the menu.ini you have the options in the menu, too...

I think you just have to change your N900 system settings (location). There you can change the gps source from internal to a paired bluetooth device.

Sygic Mobile will then automatically use this source instead of the internal gps ?

Haven't tried it myself, just a logical guess.

yes, and this is also the reason, why is gps settings menu disabled in menu.ini

I wonder why it would have to be paired, though. There's no technical need. Maemo Mapper (on the N800), for example, will simply let you use whatever GPS you have searched and configured for.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo
 
Can anybody help me?! I have purchased Sygic, downloaded both the PC program and the .zip file in case that didn't work.

The PC program has installed, asked me to attach my phone in 'Mass Storage Mode' which I did. I had a choice of 'F Drive - N900' of 'G Drive N900', there was nothing in the F drive so I chose G drive and went to the next screen. It showed that it was going to use 12.5gb of an available 27gb, and I was to chose the maps and voices that I wanted. I did both of these (UK & Ireland and Malta - going on hols in a few months so thought it might be nice) and clicked sync.

It said it was successful and returned the original screen. All of the other screens say that the maps and voices are installed so I disconnected, and looked at my N900 app menu to see nothing. The App Manager has no list of it either.

I have attempted the alternate way, removing all of the installed files and doing it manually with the unzipped download, folders and files being added to the root folder, and clicking on the 'SetupMaemo.deb' file. This should open App Manager apparently but it doesn't, I have to chose to open it in that, but when I do App Manager opens and nothing happens.

I am stuck my geeky counterparts, and I am hoping that your geekyness and thus intelligence in this matter may outweigh mine and be able to help me?!

Cheers in advance

Dan

Exactly the same just happened when I installed it.

Re: Sygic announces world-wide turn-by-turn navigation for Maemo
 
Using the .exe :

Select the internal 32 GB storage drive when asked (not the SDcard drive).

Choise your maps, voice, etc... Synchronise.

Unplug.

Then open your N900 file manager and click on SetupMobileMaps.deb.

Your should now see the app in the menu.

Hi all :D
I installed Sygic and it runs fine. Only problem is:
I have a BT device in my car and when the N900 is connected i can't hear the voice of the Navi. But it needs to be connected when i get a call ;)
So is there any way to fix it? Sorry if it has already been discussed, but the thread is so big, didn't find anything about that.

Hi!

Anyone knows if the maps from Sygic_McGuider_v7.60.731 are compatible with this version?

I will buy it if so. Other way it's not good for me because is not providing the maps for Romania (only the transit roads).

Please give me a positive feedback!

I have downloaded the exe and it is trying to unpack on to my c:windows\temp folder which has only 1gb free, despite setting TEMP & TMP to D:

i hope sygic donates a good amount of cash to t.m.o, considering the huge amount of troubleshooting for their crappy installer taking place here...

yeah I hear you it's quite misleading what if I had bought it before actually asking. I would have lost €59.99 just like that...well that's where the maemo community comes in hand. Thanks a lot I really appreciate your quick replies

Does anyone else have problem with Sygic using A-GPS? For me it won't work. Every other GPS-software asks permission to connect to internet for A-GPS, but Sygic won't. GPS icon appears and the fix is very unstable and it never wants to connect to internet.

I unzipped the zip file but there is no .deb file.
Please could somebody upload this file?

maybe you didn't copy the map for malta on your unit?
just wondering, since that would be quite an error on their part...

this user seems to have been able to select Malta for synchronization:

any one know how to launch it in portrait mode?

I got two links.
The first is for the exe file and the second for the zip file.
I downloaded the zip file.

Maybe I bought the version without for S60 / Android ... but that was a mistake.
I thought that I had choosed the Maemo version.

So now i read all the sites since its been released and it seems that nobody else tried it with bt..... no report of that kind of problems...

another question: how to usw speed camera poi ? i can't find it build in, so i think it has to be placed manually... but where to find and how to add? i live in switzerland, so this speed cameras would be of interest for me.

but the bt problem is more important for me, if someone can help it would be great!
